the problem is when the number of the phone you're answering shows its

example 1: your home number is 212-555-9876 and clid shows
212-555-9876. that's invalid. it's a spammer.


Exactly. In fact, I think that has happened to me. Since it was to the
same number, it was clearly spoofed.


that's what i've been saying all along.

It actually surprised me, but I
don't think anything should surprise anyone these days.


yep, and it's only going to get worse.
