Caller ID Spoofing

Fake Caller ID Is a walk in the park!

666-666-6666 Prank Phone Call



If you just got a call from 666-666-6666 most likely satan the prince of darkness is not trying to contact you. More and more you see new posts on forums poping up where someone got a call from 666-666-6666 this is none other then your friends or someone else playing a practical joke on you. I just recently found this on the internet from a online forum.

“hi i have to start by saying i dont know what to think of this and was curious if anyone has any input. september 2004 my ex boyfriend committed suicide and in his last hours he had my full attention over the phone (we were in different states). He blamed me for his unhappiness since i left him after 7 years of a rocky relationship. I still loved him but could no longer be with him. a year and a month later i was watching the horror movie “saw” and kept thinking of him as i watched it alone. about an hour into the movie my phone rang and across my screen it read “666-666-6666″. i did not answer it as i was terrified. i called a friend and told her what happened and my call waiting clicked in and it read 394-194-1941. Our old area code in florida was 941. i called my phone company and they said no one could possibly call me from those numbers because they do not exsist. i dont know what to think about this and was wondering if anyone has a story or thought on my unexplained call”

This phone call is none other then someone she knew playing a joke on her. While that was back in 2004 and not as many people knew about the site Fake Caller ID. Its very easy to explain it was just someone using the Fake Caller ID calling Card using the spoofed phone number 666-666-666.

Protect Yourself From Caller ID Spoofing



With caller id spoofing become so easy and accessible to the masses like the Fake Caller ID system. You now need to protect yourself and things like your voice mail from caller id spoofing. Some voice mail systems won’t ask you for a pin if you are calling it from the correct number. But this number can be spoofed and that creates a major problem. So if you get a new cell phone always password protect your voicemail. Many cell phone operators, like Aliant, NBTEL, Bell, ATT, T-Mobile use caller id authentication for voice mail.

It is even rumored that Paris hilton used sites like Fake Caller Id to gain access to other celebrities voice mail like Lindsay Lohan. ” Spoof announced today that it had terminated the accounts of more than 50 customers, including non other then Paris Hilton, who they claim used the Caller ID Spoofing service to obtain unauthorized access to voice mail accounts on a national mobile telephone network. Many of the terminated customers and the victims whose mailboxes were accessed are well-known celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan.” So what was the cost to Paris? Around $0.07 a minute. That’s what Spoof ID, another site, was charging for a hundred minute card this morning when I took a look.

If you must provide information on the phone only provide it to someone you know and you can always call them back on trusted 1-800 numbers on the back of your Bank/VISA/Mastercard/AMEX card etc. The easiest way to remove the possibility of fake caller ID related crime is to know them well enough so you can recognize their tone of voice on the phone. This way, if you absolutely have to share personal information over the phone, you will be able to do so or atleast have somewhat of a peace of mind.

Also be very carefull of digital emails. One of the emerging strategies is the combining of phishing and marketing technologies, such as mail merge, with automated voice response technologies. In these scams, a number is included in the email for you to call. Do not call these numbers ever. Hackers are increasingly making use of Automated Voice Response approaches almost the same as your bank does with (”please enter your credit card number you’re calling about, followed by the phone number associated with this account”) that may sound real, but they are designed to steal the four things they need the most most your name, your social security number, your credit card, and your phone number.
