Well Heather certainly loves to call me and its a combination of either using my area code and prefix or other companies randomly choosing long distance numbers.

I have noticed spoofing of 8 numbers as well. how do these get through the phone system, can't they detect ANI being bad at the source? I used to work for a company where we logged our workers on and off shift; rent a cop; based on the ANI data from the phone call. So I am really curious how this isn't blocked by entry into the system.




Some providers send an ANI that has nothing to do with the actual caller, and some allow it to send nothing at all. See http://www.oldskoolphreak.com/tfiles/voip/voipani.txt
