Seems that the government is not too happy with this…
Government interest is gathering around so-called Caller ID spoofing services that allow users to camouflage their phone numbers, with Florida’s attorney general following the FCC in investigating the technology.
On Friday, state Attorney General Charlie Crist issued subpoenas targeting five different spoofing sites. For four of them, the subpoenas are directed at the registrars handling the services’ anonymous domain name registrations, and are aimed at unmasking the owners of the sites. A fifth went directly to one of the spoofing sites, Tricktel.com, demanding business records and the identities of any Florida customers.
Do you feel that consumers have the right to have easily accessible spoofing abilities, just like large companies can?
