(38,353 posts)1. It's time to look at regulations for our phone systems.
Billions of dollars of telephone fraud every year from phone calls, text messages and emails, all untraceable
Make it illegal to spoof a phone number and make them traceable. How many overseas calls that cost the perpetrators nothing to rip us off.
Do you care if you dont have a right to spoof a number on your calls?

Why Congress hasn't addressed this issue is probably oligarch's influence on them.

Poof the Spoof. Trust your phone again. Make the fraudsters pay up. Need a catchy title.
