Report from the Missouri House
Members of the Missouri House took action last week to protect vulnerable Missourians from predatory callers who hid their identities. House Bill 242 passed by the House would establish the Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act. Spoofing is when a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to caller ID display to disguise their identity. Scammers often use neighbor spoofing so it appears that an incoming call is coming from a local number, or spoof a number from a company or a government agency the individual they are calling may already know and trust. Spoofers use scam scripts to try to steal money or valuable personal information, which can be used in fraudulent activity.
