Recently telemarketers have learned to send fake phone numbers to your caller ID. I can block them but it isn't likely to matter because they keep changing. I have had three such calls before 11 this morning. As you all well know, answering a call in the middle of a cut is a non-trivial annoyance. Additionally, many of the fake IDs have my area code, making them seem like local callers. If I block them, there is a chance that I will be blocking a call from someone legitimate.
The first question is- can these fakes be numbers in use or are they only unassigned ones?
Second- is there any defense against it?
