caller id spoofing

Caller ID spoofing is a service that allows a caller to masquerade as someone else by falsifying the number that appears on the recipient's caller ID display. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to come from any phone number the caller wishes. Several service providers offer caller ID spoofing, including SpoofCard and Star38. To use SpoofCards service, a customer pays in advance for a PIN allowing them to make a call for a certain amount of minutes. To begin, the customer dials from any phone the toll free number given to them by the company and enters their PIN number. They are then asked to enter the number they wish to call and the number they wish to appear on the caller ID. An extra feature that SpoofCard allows you to do is also select to speak using a Male voice, Female voice or your normal voice. This feature will change your voice in real-time. They also allow the call to be recorded and listened to a later time. Once the customer selects the options, the call is then bridged and the person on the other end assumes someone else is calling them. Caller ID spoofing has been available for years to people with a specialized digital connection to the telephone company. Collection agencies, law enforcement officials, and private investigators have used the practice, with varying degrees of legality. Frequently, caller ID spoofing is used for prank calls. For example, someone might call a friend and arrange for "The White House" to appear on the recipient's caller display.
