Recent spoofing
attempts have included scam artists pretending to be sheriff's offices,
hospitals, and even the IRS. The bill before us this afternoon expands
spoofing protections to calls that originate outside of the country as
well as text messages. It is often stated that a measure of a society is how it treats its
most vulnerable. Almost every day, I receive new reports of spoofing
that harm the most vulnerable in my district, including immigrants,
seniors, veterans, and those in need of help from law enforcement. That
is why this legislation is endorsed by senior citizens, law
enforcement, and consumer protection groups. The Anti-Spoofing Act of 2017 is a bipartisan bill.
