Caller
ID Spoofing
In the 14 years I have been actively skip tracing for a living I have
come to despise Caller ID. It seems that every person I call has
Caller ID and uses it to screen unwanted or unknown telephone calls.
Most importantly of course, I neither want to give up my identity nor
do I want to tip someone off to the underlying reason for my telephone
call while skip tracing. I have employed countless measures to defeat
or get around Caller ID since its inception; I’ve used inconvenient
calling cards, dialed the (mostly useless) *67 prefix, paid for restrictive
“blind lines” and then there’s the hugely expensive
method of having a telephone operator connect my call.
