The Legislature finds that the citizens of this state are potential targets of a phone scam known as caller ID spoofing or caller ID fraud that allows a caller to hide his or her true identity by modifying caller ID information with the intent to mislead, defraud or deceive the recipient of the telephone call. It is, therefore, the intent of the Anti-Caller ID Spoofing Act to protect people from such scams which have led to the loss of personal information, harassment and potentially threatening phone calls.
