Spoofing is a technological deception tactic used by a Time Waster, a Scammer, or law enforcement conducting a Sting Operation. They use specialized apps to mask their actual phone number and generate a fake, disposable Caller ID (a VoIP number like Google Voice). Because a Provider relies heavily on running phone numbers through a Blacklist or public records for Screening, spoofed numbers are viewed with extreme suspicion and are frequently blocked outright.
