TW,

There have been spoofcard services for years, and there are many unscrupulous VOIP providers that will let you pick your caller ID number. The second that places like Boca Raton, Moscow, or Las Vegas got the Internet and VOIP, it was bound to happen.

The Internet only adds to it because scammers in Nigeria can now afford to get a US phone number and caller ID spoofing for next to nothing.
