Got a call from the following Robocall (badly designed as it could not start)
Caller ID Name: Chicago IL
Caller ID Number: 773-855-0031
Another case of bad fraud and telephone phishing. How do I know?
1) Number is non-active (which means it is a number to spoof on caller ID)
2) Caller ID Name is using a "SomeCity SomeState" which is typical of phishing calls and those looking to commit fraud at your expense
3) Most of the phishing calls are not within the USA (to avoid legal issues and ignore your wanting to get removed from their call lists, and allows them to ignore DNC lists), and that also points out the Caller ID Number is spoofed.
A simple method of identifying fraud is 95% of all caller ID Names that are SomeCity SomeState are fraud, and in some cases they want to hear your answer machine outgoing message to identify/verify who is there (and what gender is setting the message). Something to be cautious about.
