You haven't really been defrauded of anything (again, technically speaking I'm sure it feels like you have been, though), so there's nothing you can 'report'.

Eventually the fraudster will move on to a new spoofed number and the calls should stop.Īlternatively, you can change your phone number. You can change your voicemail message to explain what's happening, hope people trying to get a hold of you leave a message, and that people calling back the 'spoofer' understand. Unfortunately, that means there's not a whole lot you can do. Spoofing caller ID info certainly is illegal and the callers are attempting to defraud others (not you), so you really aren't the 'victim' of a crime, at least technically speaking. This is the same kind of malicious software used by person calling in bomb threats recently to the Jewish Community Centers.

Now, with hundreds of phone calls from people trying to return a missed call, my phone is jammed with hundreds of people calling my number back and leaving messages on the voice mail.

I have called ALL the blasted numbers ATT suggests over the last 6 weeks. The ATT representative told me to report this as fraud. I consider this a breach of privacy, an attempt to defraud Missourians, and a violation of the law regarding NO CALL regulations. Some of these ATT 308 costumers are very gullible and no doubt more than one of them will give the telemarketer or nefarious caller private info. My personal phone number has been hijacked and is being used against my permission to scam 308 costumers into answering the call from a 'familiar' or similar number. I am the victim of phone fraud or as the industry has labeled it 'Spoofing.' This phone fraud is part of a telemarketing campaign aimed at scamming unsuspecting people into releasing personal information. THEN they call the number back so that MY phone rings all day long and people leave messages on my voice mail. They receive calls and my # shows up on their screen's Caller ID. The 314-308-**** exchange has been stolen and is being used to target 308 ATT costumers. What can ATT&T do to restore my phone number to me?
