Davis Law's Phone Number Hijacked By Caller ID Spoofer Making Tele-Marketing Robo Calls
The Davis Law Group operations team recently learned that an unethical telemarketing firm is fraudulently masking their identity by using our name and phone numbers in caller id. The caller sometimes refers to himself as Ethan or Michael with Davis Law Group and often calls victims repeatedly within the same day.
The identity theft practice of caller ID hijacking is commonly referred to as phone spoofing. "Phone spoofing” relates to the number that shows up on caller ID. It’s used to trick people into picking up calls they otherwise wouldn’t and thus get around the National Do Not Call Registry.
Davis Law Group Is Not Phone-Spamming You
This is not the first time something like this has happened to us. Two years ago a debt collection scam artist was making calls pretending to be a representative of Davis Law Group in an attempt to extort money from unsuspecting victims. Learn more.
We have reported the issue to our telecomm provider; the National Do Not Call Registry and to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Help Us Catch The Identity Thief!
In the United States, “Under the Truth in Calling Act, FCC rules prohibit any person or entity from transmitting misleading or inaccurate Caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongly obtain anything of value. If no harm is intended or caused, spoofing is not illegal. Anyone who is illegally spoofing can face penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation.
