If only spam callers were unable to spoof phone numbers that'd be great.

I was called by my own phone number once. Nothing suspicious there.

Back in my day we used to just talk to ourselves in person.

You missed out, bro. It was you from the future calling to warn you of your dire fate and how to avoid it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I would’ve known to leave a voicemail

Man, I wish I could get a side quest shucks

I wouldn't call myself... I'd send an email.

If I got an email from myself that wasn't signed with my gpg key I wouldn't trust it.

You've never taken too many mushrooms and called yourself?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Heh that happened to me too! Very strange.

[–] ickplant 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That’s true but they usually spoof some person I don’t know. So if I google it and it’s some Betty from East Bumfuck, I know not to pick up. Now, if they spoofed someone I know, that’s different.

My phone is good enough at blocking spam calls that when an unfamiliar number calls I answer, and it's usually a wrong number

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The thing is, there are legit reasons to want to spoof numbers. My use case is that if I'm not reachable via sip I send the call over the normal phone network and set cid to the calling number.

I guess a middle ground would be that you could spoof numbers to phone numbers you've registered and verified with your provider.

To be honest though, the scammers and spammers will always find a way round it and spoof anyway.
