Scams like these

Maybe she actually was from CBA and just had the number of the person she wanted to speak to wrong.

No, different call. When I got calls from the sub-continent I'd ask what underwear they were wearing. Didn't matter male or female. They don't have to be a scammer and call me. The CBA woman was a scammer. I rarely get scam calls now.

For Clifford, hard to say.

Now all Aus Telco are spamming us, telling us that business that are registered will show their (provided) registered name, and unverified is most likely a scam.
But then, half or built more of calls/sms's are from 04 or overseas Wangiri calls.
If we could block calls from some countries... and/but yes, I know it can all be spoofed.

I wonder whether spoofing the registered/verified number of a business work?
For example I get SMS’s from Whiskymofo tempting me to buy stuff from them, if someone spoofs a registered Whiskymofo number does it appear as though Whiskymofo sent it on my ‘phone?

Also, my SMS “conversation” with “Unverified” is becoming quite long, and after only 8 days!
