Well, no, it can't. And I wish you luck spoofing ANI, which I believe

is a crime.



=============================================== ==



CALLER ID can easily be spoffed, as anyone who gets tele marketing calls can attest.



There was and probably is a web site where for a couple bucks you can spoof caller ID. Had a buddy call me, the system said I called myself..





So you claim, but past experience with you indicates that most of what

you claim to remember or have seen just turns out to be rather

dubious.



Hint: Caller ID spoofing is generally illegal in the United States.





I dont knnow if ANI can be spoofed, and really it doesnt matter.





It does if you're calling me. You'd be dialing into a corporate

switchboard that receives ANI info.

most business phone systems come with spoffing ability built in.

its commonly used by bill collectors to try and get the person being called to pick up the phone....
