That it costs JUST pennies to make a call and spoof the caller ID.
You wanna make a call and pretend that that call is coming from somewhere else?
Totally doable!
And most likely, done.
You could purchase a card, and call…..NDP voters and pretend that you are calling from an NDP office fax line, for instance. You could tell the voters that they need to vote for the guy that has removed himself from the race.
It would split the vote and benefit someone like…..Gary Lunn. For instance. (And do throw in some shadowy third party ….Just for good bad measure….)(h/t Alison)
You can also do that online through sites that offer spoofing services.
