This is a bipartisan. proconsumer bill that addresses the increasing problem of scam artists faking caller ID information to defraud consumers. These bad actors scramble or spoof caller identification information for the purpose of impersonating legitimate individuals or institutions such as law enforcement officials or a bank. They then use these fraudulent identities to obtain sensitive personal information from unsuspecting consumers. Vulnerable populations such as seniors. veterans. and recent immigrants have been especially targeted by these attacks. The bill makes three important changes to strengthen existing law and protect consumers. First. it broadens current law to address spoofing in the context of international calls.
