What is Spoofing?

Caller ID Spoofing is a practice in which a caller deliberately falsifies the information on your caller ID display to disguise their identity. 

Recently, there has been an increase in caller ID ‘spoofing’ whereby third parties use SCE’s phone numbers to lead people to believe that the calls are coming from us. In many cases, the “spoofers” misrepresent themselves as SCE employees or partners.
