This information should be in the hands of the public -, many of whom are victimized, terrorized and bilked by this Racket Others have their Identities, Social Security Numbers, Credit Card Numbers and pin numbers, checking account numbers and routing numbers or large chunks of their assets etc stolen by professional criminals posing as bank credit card company executives or law enforcement officers. With caller ID spoofing the crooks can -, and they do make any name, number and business/law enforcement agency and title they choose display on their victim’s caller ID.

Contrary to the propaganda that the lawmakers, law enforcement agencies and state attorneys general “spoon feed the public” that this is an “off shore enterprise”, much of this caller id spoofing racket service and technology is created, marketed and employed right here in America and paid for with American credit cards. That is “not off shore”!!!!

Attention Senator Claire McCaskill

This is a plan of action against the 50 state blitz of anonymous, harassing and public menace caller ID spoofing phone calls, many which originate from career criminals, con artists, extortionists, identity thieves and other malicious parties. The elderly, especially those with significant assets are their favorite prey.

This public threatening, criminal empowering racket technology was given birth and nurtured to maturity by deregulation. Quite predictably it was soon adopted and exploited by an unscrupulous army of profiteering Caller ID Spoofing creators ,vendors, career criminals and other malicious individuals.

My wife and I have been victims of a perpetual 15 year long blitz of such anonymous calls -, probably at the hands of a disgruntled heir,sibling who was not content with his inheritance (we won the case after losing $60,000 to the lawyers) or one or both disgruntled cousins (one who popped me in the jaw) because he was angry that he did not inherit the property.

This post de-regulation racket is financed by Pay Pal and all of the major Credit Card Corporations and facilitated by the post deregulation telephone companies.

Following is a suggested plan of action against the creators and vendors of caller ID spoofing cards, services and technology as well as Pay Pal and all major Credit Card Corporations who finance the racket. A racket which enables, empowers and finances criminals and other malicious individuals to anonymously harass, threaten, deceive and defraud innocent, often elderly and terrified victims

Thanks to de-regulation, professional criminals and identity thieves are beyond any doubt using caller ID spoofing services and technology to harass, intimidate and anonymously steal Social Security and credit card numbers and security codes as well as checking account and routing code numbers. Just a few days ago a lady from the Pocahontas, Arkansas area told of of an elderly couple who were terrified and bilked out of $125,000 via caller ID spoofing terrorism, the victims were terrified into NOT going to the police. There was a second such case involving elderly victims in the same area but as yet I don’t have all the details.

They no doubt do that via posing as bank and credit card company staff, FBI agents etc by using caller ID spoofing technology to display phony names and phone numbers on their victim’s caller ID. Millions of uninformed victims feel powerless because there is no centralized governmental agency or organization where victims can “connect, communicate, contact and join forces with other victims to fight back –, effectively.

Senator McCaskill I suggest the following strategy.

#1. Read the accompanying literature to familiarize yourself with the well camouflaged “specifics and scope of the scam” –, including all of the known ‘component participants”.

#2. Appoint or retain an adequate number of staff aides whose sole responsibility is to collect, organize, file and database all constituent input on caller ID spoofing harassment and victimization including fraud and threats.

#3. Set up a website, toll free phone number, e-mail and snail mail addresses where victims of caller ID spoofing harassment, bullying, identity theft, intimidation and fraud can file formal complaints.

#4. Because the vast majority of victims and the rest of the majority electorate are naively unaware of the components of Caller ID spoofing Racket, how it works, who drives it and who profits from it, I suggest that you publicly educate all Americans –, including the “watch dog media” of this racket and it’s creators, vendors and financiers.

Call a news conference with the national network news media and National Public Radio and fully inform and educate the public of the details, dangers of this racket and the identities of the vendors, financiers and profiteers of the caller ID Spoofing industry.

#5. Champion the creation of The Consumer Protection Bureau by pointing out and emphasizing that de-regulation of the telecommunications and banking/credit and finance industry is exactly what “opened the door” to this unchallenged, unchecked racket. A racket which leaves millions of powerless Americans at the mercy of an army of anonymous and faceless identity thieves, malicious harassers and dangerous criminals while dumping millions of dollars annually in the pockets of the creators and vendors of the technology and the credit card corporations who finance it.

#6. Put this information in the hands of Student Activists in colleges across America.

We must demand and enact RE-regulation of the telecommunications, banking, finance and credit industry and mandate severe monetary and criminal penalties for “caller ID spoofing” creators, vendors, financiers, purchasers and users. Among other things hat means re-regulating the telecommunications industry.

If you have ever been harassed by a continuous blitz of phone calls which your Caller ID displays as “anonymous, unknown or not provided” callers –, from unknown or phoney numbers -, many allegedly from foreign countries —, these links will show you how they do it and who finances it.

Your friendly Pay Pal, Visa, Mastercard, America Card, American Express or BankAmerica Card are financing these electronic bullies, harassers and identity thieves via acting as the payment medium between the Vendors such as Amazon.com and career criminals and other malicious parties who use Pay Pal and their Credit Card Companies to “rent caller ID spoofing service from Intellus or by Purchasing “Caller ID Spoof Cards” etc.
