That whites invariably play fair?

Meaning 7: Benevolent; without malicious intent, e.g. "that's white of you"

(Actually it appears that meaning is ancient and comes from the
association of white with purity rather than race.)

Many years ago Microsoft came up with a anti-spam suggestion that you
had the right to charge to receive an email, or the sender paid that
would be refunded if the recipient agreed.

These days the cost of phone calls is so cheap they're not a
disincentive. Until there is a cost to the sender, or one imposed, we
will continue to receive these fake calls.

Numbers can also be forged. It is not beyond man's ability to insist
these are kosher numbers by limiting entry into the world's telephone
network, and/or charging when receiving calls from dubious operators.

Part of the problem is that numbers can be legitimately spoofed. It is
fine for a VOIP phone, used while away from home to send the number of
your home landline. For a company phone to send the number of their
contact centre. Even for a Foreign call centre to send the UK contact
number of the company they are working on behalf of. Indeed it can be
necessary - if a company that you are a customer of is using a foreign
call centre, you may not be accepting international calls and they need
to show a UK number to get a legitimate call through to you.

No. They exist in large numbers. I just wonder why a racist epithet is
needed at all? Scammers/spammers are just right *******s whatever their

While I might agree with you, from my personal experience 90% of
scammers claiming to represent BT, Microsoft or some other plausible
entity seem to use people with an Indian dialect.

Of course they could be whites using cultural misappropriation to
enhance plausibility but I doubt it.

Scammers/spammers are just right *******s whatever their
colour/religion/shoesize


Agreed.

I don't think the colour or race is the problem here, its the people who run
these scam centres who should be locked in a cell and subjected to these
calls for 5 months day and night and see how they like it.

Yes, but blocking number spoofing to prevent that, would also block
legitimate use of it.

Indeed, I think spoofing doesn't go far enough. I hate companies phoning
with withheld numbers (particularly one, some years ago, that randomly
phoned me with an autodialling modem, but that I could not identify and
so could not tell them to stop).

I wish it were a legal requirement for companies and organisations to
always show a valid phone number - at least spoofed to the switchboard
or helpline - then it would be so much easier to block or ignore
withheld numbers.

At the moment, many companies, the local hospitals, etc. all just
withhold their numbers.

That is required here, but is ignored by the worst of the spammers.

And is a problem with those who need to call you using
their mobile, with people like cops and paramedics etc.

At the moment, many companies, the local hospitals, etc. all just withhold
their numbers.


And that has to be allowed, particularly with those
with the more primitive phone systems and mobiles.
