Contact-tracer spoofing is already happening – and it's dangerously simple to do

Re: Unhearing government

I always refused point blank to believe that they were my bank on the basis that I'd already made clear to my bank that I couldn't accept such calls without caller verification and I wasn't even prepared to indicate whether or not they'd guessed right. It was followed up by a miffed letter from the bank saying they couldn't get in touch to sell me something I wasn't looking for (I paraphrase).

It only happened with my business account. I suppose I could have simply said discussing financial matters with unsolicited callers was contrary to company policy.
