Read the law. Spoofing is legal, using it to defraud the public is not; the fact that criminals who cannot be caught use the service to defraud people does not make it (spoofing) illegal, it just makes the clause in the law that says it is illegal to use spoofing to scam or defraud the public a ridiculous statement. When bad people hide behind a number they are not actually calling from, how are they going to be caught? The FCC would have to track down the number that called you on a specific date and time by subpoenaing records from every spoofing company available in order to find the culprit and charge them with unlawful use.
I Think it is TIME for a good old fashioned (but effective) CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against the Phone companies that allow this shhhht!!!!!!!!!!! They ALLOW this spoofing of numbers and do not stop it because they make money from them. They (Phone Companies) own the numbers they (Spammers) use to spoof with. They KNOW what's going on, and it's TIME to STOP them.!!!!!

I have received this same "free Cruise" scam call from many numbers. They rarely call twice from the same number.I don't answer any of them but I read this page and keep track of the numbers associated with this scam. So far I have received this "Free Cruise" from:404-548-3565, 646-866-9198, 321-246-3408, 480-721-8710, 213-257-5233, 501-515-7201, 208-921-6735, 347-541-0246, 913-201-0217, 205-757-5933, 617-356-4651, 281-753-3916, 412-356-0114, 860-929-2572, 515-802-4670, 612-400-3366, 502-612-9018. It probably won't do any good but I am going to report all of these.
This number just called and told me because I'm a great customer I qualify for a trip to Disney, etc.etc.
I tried to interrupt to ask what company there were from and the gentleman just kept on like I never spoke.
Finally I asked if it was a real person, which caught his attention, then he was angry, so I said take me off your list and
hung up. Great way to try and sell something! I'm very annoyed.
