I got a call from 0123456789 last week.

Googled it and it's just if the company hasn't set their phones up properly. It was the cowboys that are Dell, FWIW.

Actually, businesses with a phone system can modify the caller ID strings that get sent so it is not just the VOIP tricks.

I actually had to figure out how to do such a thing on an Avaya system. I could have it spoof any caller ID the user wanted, fun stuff. Never trust caller ID.

Normally it's Party poker (sorry for the poker reference -- but that's what it is for me).

Sometimes the bad jokes are as good as the good ones.
