Fake caller ID could be fun and when used right is harmless. For example it would be fun and harmless to call Sam and use the caller ID of the CIA. But if I used the caller ID of the IRS and told him he had to pay 1millon dollars to my bank account or he was going to go to jail then it is harmful and bad. Digital ID is what who you are on the computer, any pictures, text you put on the internet make up your digital ID.
The digital identity of the caller ID is what shows up on your phone when you get a call. So when you change it you change you digital ID so if you make your caller ID to George W. Bush it’s like if you made your email address to the same as George W. Bush.
The article I read says that “spoofing” caller ID has become a common and only illegal in the U.S if it involves fraud for revenge is fine. It all so say that changing caller ID is only a “push of a button away” and other services of spoofing companies. Scariest of all it tells how a motivated stoker could make a credit card on their account, but congress tried to pass a bill to have trustable caller ID, that didn’t pass. Florida, Alaska, Delaware and New York have passed laws to limit spoofing caller ID. http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9788008-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1040_3-0-5

Spoof card (http://www.spoofcard.com/) is a company that offers spoofing. The costs are $10.00 for 60 minutes $20.00 for 120 minutes $40.00 for 240 minutes $80.00 for 480 minutes and free for 2 minutes. The 2 minutes does not include the voice change. You can select a male or female voice and when you talk the person on the other side heres it . You can record calls and listen to them again.

Fake caller ID can be fun when used right or mean when abused. Some states are trying to out law them but no major laws have been made. Many different companies make it easy to change your caller ID.
