Telephone Spammers
 

I just experienced a telephone spammer who sent my own telephone
number as the CID!

Anyone else experienced that?

Since I use Ooma, I wonder if I can't simply blacklist my own number?
I'll ask support.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Good link! Thanks, Martin! Similar to my self-made machine that
shorts out the line.

Sure, it's when I get notices from my phone provide for
deals or alert messages if you don't have the alert app running.

It'll come up as a call from yourself, and usually their maybe a
mail box or text message waiting for you.

There's still a few floating about - I even have some in the junk box,
there's not much worthy salvage in them other than the power jack.

When you get broadband, you most definitely want to get rid of the modem -
some infected websites can plant rogue dialer malware that calls premium
rate numbers without telling you.

I still keep mine for the rare occasion somebody insists I send them
an actual FAX. Much easier to send them a PDF, but some outfits
are still in the dark ages.
