On the 000-000-0000 I get quite a few of these both at home and our our work PBX. Typically the ones at home are both domestic and overseas based telemarketers. The ones at work are clients who are also calling from overseas and it seems that their CLID is not being transmitted and that by default it is getting set to 0000000000. I'm assuming that this is happening some how at this end, since it is 10 digits eveytime and these client calls are coming from all around the world which of course have different standard phone number lengths.

So I would not straight up block 000-000-0000, but route it to a Privacy Manager or an IVR so that if is a legit call they can get through.

And on the spoofing, before the election I got a call that showed a local number and said something like 'Elect Can Poll Stn', so I answered it,turns out it was an automated message to get out to vote for Ruby Dhalla. Now that really pissed me off that an elected official was spoofing CLID , since if it had said her name I would not have answered it. I was to busy to figure out who to complain about that too, and forgot about it until I saw ths thread.

except it wasn't TD who called me: it was a fraudster. He was very
slick. He covered all the bases including his callerID which reported
the real number for the Bank Fraud Prevention Dept
