Phone Spoofing Scams Callers can now spoof any phone number’s CallerID when they call. With all the personal data leaked over the internet, scammers can determine your email and phone, as well as those of your friends and family.

Several Tybee residents have been hit with such calls of late. Microsoft does NOT give you a toll free number to call to clean viruses from your computer.
