Billions of dollars of telephone fraud every year from phone calls, text messages and emails, all untraceable
Make it illegal to spoof a phone number and make them traceable. How many overseas calls that cost the perpetrators nothing to rip us off.

Do you care if you don’t have a right to spoof a number on your calls?

Why Congress hasn't addressed this issue is probably oligarch's influence on them.
