Doug, who sent in this photo of what showed up on his caller ID when a roboscammer rang him up, possibly has the most effective phone screening system ever. Or maybe it’s just that the scamming company on the other line is at least honest about how it defrauds people.

He writes:

When I got home today I had one voice mail. It was a robo caller telling me about refinancing my house. My caller ID showed this as the name of the robo caller. How appropriate. I thought you might like it.

Doug provided the phone number that was associated with the label, which I checked and it definitely seemed scamerrific. Has anyone else ever gotten a caller ID indicator like this?
