Called ID Spoofing

The "card services" scammers are now able to call you and use your own phone number to show up on caller ID, to pique your interest so you will answer the call.
Comcast security told me to *60 your number,so it will be blocked.
I hope all these scammers get Ebola and die...........

Called ID was just a typo

It never ceases to amaze how these desperate lowlife CRIMINALS (AFTER ALL THEY ARR CRIMINALS FOR BREAKING DNC LAWS) will attempt to defraud the public with nefarious and deceitfully CRIMINAL practices.  Spoofing the caller id to reflect the number called seems to be getting more prevalent by these CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS.  Recommend ALL victims continue to report each instance of CRIMINAL behavior to FTC for prosecution.

Actually spoofing the receiver's own number has got to be the stupidest thing anyone could ever do.  Who would look at the caller ID and answer your own phone number?  "The call is coming from inside your house.  Get out now!!" LOL
