This article did not mention spoofed caller id, which is really scary and annoying. Normally I do not pick calls from numbers I do not recognize. With calller id spoofing, the fraudsters are able to show a phone number that is very similar to mine : the first 6 digits are identical to my landline ; this fools me into believing it is a neighbor or my kid' friends that is calling and I end up picking up the phone.
