Phone number spoofing

I was reading an article somewhere recently where the worry is they are going to be able to spoof a person’s voice.

Apparently, you can spoof US Presidents now too.


Got three calls from my own number today!

Are you sure it wasn’t you calling?

The call is coming from inside the house!

Yeah that being called from my own home number happened last week, I was impressed! I still don’t answer unless someone starts leaving a message.

I’ve been using the Google call screening thing lately, on which robocallers usually hang up. I’m iffy on fighting robots with robots from a Skynet perspective, though, and it does seem a little demeaning to human callers in a way that letting a call ring through to voicemail doesn’t.
