Right, they don't have late fees. But they still beg you to return the video so somebody else can rent it. And if you wait long enough there is a $1.50 restocking fee, which is actually a late fee, and they were sued for false advertising because of it, but apparently they won the lawsuit.

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.
