young man told me.
President Trump stepped in back
in January of 2019 and signed legislation
called the Traced Act
which states that the law requires
all carriers, Verizon, T-Mobile, Nemont
etc, to eventually implement new
technologies to authenticate caller ID
information, preventing call spoofing
at no additional line-item cost to the
consumer. It also states that consumers
get access to Robocall blocking and
again at no additional line-item cost to
the consumer.
As I understand it, someone can
get a number from a carrier like say, 406-
364-4002, a number I got a call on this
morning telling me this was my second
“warning” that my auto warranty had
expired. The number will show up on
your caller ID making you think its from
someone local but through technology
and crooked-ness, the call originated
from another number in possibly
another state or even country! And you
can’t dial the number back!
Spoofing is “generally legal” in
most states unless done “with intent
to defraud, cause harm or wrongfully
obtain anything of value.” The relevant
federal statute, The Truth In Caller ID
Act of 2009 does make exceptions for
