People here are so creative in coming up with ways to catch phone scammers. I've got a new challenge that I haven't seen mentioned before.
We have Comcast land line. Got a call this morning, that shows up on the TV screen and phone caller ID as coming from our own phone! It had our last name, and our land line number. I had no idea this could be done. Anyway, I decided to answer and it ended up being a robot call, telling us that we still had time to amend our credit score. So I hung up. But what I want to know is, how are these companies making these calls so that it's showing up as our own number? That's going to put a serious damper on my ability to screen calls and not answer ones coming from numbers I don't recognize.
