[Krizax]

just tried it. screen indicates its dialing a 647 area code.

[pupp3t]

anyone try this? does it work?

[hudss]

It works..only 30 seconds and you listen to an advertisement before hand..
kind of like slydial

[pupp3t]

does anyone know if you get billed from your provider though?

[icanttellyou]

the free calls are up to 2 minutes long.

[icanttellyou]

it's like making a regular call as far as your provider goes.

[Caddyman]

There is a super old school way to do this, I will try and dig it up, it is a free number you call and punch in the number you want to show on caller id and it connects you to the number you want to call. it doesn't mask your voice but it did work, this was years ago, ill see if i can find it.

[ls1norcal]

I hope this becomes law S. 30: Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 (GovTrack.us). I think people who spoof should be put in Jail. And I also think people shouldn't be able to block there caller ID. At least unless they provide a valid reason. So many people do that just because its cool and easy. I don't answer blocked calls and there is nothing more annoying than finding a blocked call is one of your friends.

A. Its your own problem that you dont answer blocked calls.
B. You should be angry with your stupid friends for blocking their number.
C. Heres a valid reason for me blocking my number. I DONT WANT CERTAIN PEOPLE TO HAVE IT. That not good enough for you?
D. You voted for Obama didnt you.

"D" really cracked me up, thanks for the laugh.

Something to keep in mind..... with or without fancy apps and tools some people are just socially ********. apps like this just make it easier to ply their trade.

Common sence and decency can NEVER be legislated. This is an app for fun and games. any jackass that would spoof 911 is a ****.

Think of business application as well - I work from home. I have a mobile phone but sometimes want to appear that I'm calling from my home office (my caller ID from the office does NOT display the home number, but my business name) I can be out at the grocery store and return a customer's call and as far as they know I'm calling form the office. That makes it look a bit more professional. Nothing sinister or evil, just a tool to improve professional appearances.

Then you could also crank call freinds / family for ****s & giggles. i called my mother in law from "walgreens paharmacy" as a female voice and told her the Viagra precription was ready for Steve (my father in law).

Relax folks, it's a toy. This is like being upset that a little kid with a yo-yo "might" throw it at your head and injure you. He also might just play with it.

Hmm... Any friend that spoofed me would quickly find themselves no longer my friend.

Anyone else would likely find me at the police station seeking to file charges for harassment and stalking. I mean what other reason would a complete stranger be spoofing their number for?

I have been victimized by this. This has caused the breakup of my family. I have been falsely accused of infidelity. Because of this HORRIBLE application, my children are no longer living in a two parent family. My unborn child is currently under the threat of being born into confusion and accusations of COMPLETE LIES against his mother. My phone number was manipulated and used to totally destroy my credibility as a woman, a Christian, a mother and to destroy my credibility with the man that I love and with whom I have started a family. These kinds of "pranks" can be so convincing. How can you argue and prove your innocence when it is YOUR PHONE NUMBER, YOUR VOICE/NAME TAG ON ANY FALSE MESSAGES THAT ARE LEFT FRAUDULENTLY and YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN THE ENVELOPE OF ANY MESSAGES THAT ARE LEFT FRAUDULENTLY? My children pray every night that their dad will come back. Do you have any idea how hard that is to bear when you are TOTALLY, BEYOND ANY SHADOW OF A DOUBT, WITHOUT QUESTION INNOCENT? I have decided that I will not be helpless, I will absolutely not let this slide. I am going to fight back against this type of WEAPON being made widely available.

Imagine if someone spoofed your bank's phone number to call you and got your financial information. Imagine if someone spoofed your doctor's office and called to tell you you were dying of cancer. Imagine if the President of the United States phone were spoofed and used to create widespread panic. THIS IS NOT A GAME. THIS IS NOT COOL and I'm going to do whatever I can to shut it down.

Way to go guys.

Uhhhh....what?

[nicoletmurray]

Uhhhh....what?

Are you confused? This entire thread is about Spoofapp. Misuse of the spoofapp program has done great damage to my reputation and harmed my family. I am having to FIGHT to restore my reputation and my family. There is nothing cool about spoofapp.

[PadrePrince]

Someone should tell Nicole that I am sorry and I didn't know that it would go this far. We just thought that it would be a good waste of five minutes to ruin her life.

Just remember my name. You're about to see it and hear it alot...spoofapp is a nuisance.

Wow, if spoofapp ruined your marriage, then maybe it wasn't that strong in the first place. No offense, but I am married as well, and I would need more proof then some phone calls to end my marriage. I would need some solid proof. I use this app sometimes just for ****s and giggles. I think in some situations, you just have to use common sense. I know that if I am in my house, my house can't call me. And so on. Anyway, I love and trust my wife and if she swore up and down she didn't know the number then I would believe her until I had some other proof. I am sorry that your marriage didn't work out and I wish you a more blessed relationship in the future.

[Hollow13]

We do have an app like that its called 123spoof..you do not need a spoof card but if you want to change your voice and all the other fun stuff you might wanna get an account with them....if you just download the app it lets you change the number to whatever number you want and gives you 2 min free but don't go past the 2 min its gonna charge and dont misuse the app..

I am sorry that your marriage didn't work out and I wish you a more blessed relationship in the future.

Let me put this in perspective for you:

1. Calls were made appearing to come from my phone number.

2. A series of calls back to back and corresponding brief messages of two people having intercourse.

3. At the end of message, the envelope information was MY PHONE. The name tag from MY PHONE was at the end of the message in MY VOICE like if I were to legitimately leave a message for someone myself.

4. At the end of the "sex tape" it said "message received from Nicole" and the Nicole part was my name tag from my voice mail on my blackberry. When you take the prompts to get the envelope information it said the message came from my phone number.

This is not a simple case of some calls coming from a different number. I was set up. Someone called his phone and made the incoming calls "appear" to come from my phone. There were several missed calls from my phone. This has caused a tremendous amount of strife. Neither of us are people who use these kinds of things and frankly this blindsided us. Do you know what it was like to be accused and have to listen to all of this graphic, muffled craziness and each time it ended to hear my own voice mail tags? It has taken me weeks to figure out the origin was spoofapp. AT & T absolutely did not know anything about how to dig into where it could have come from. They told him that there was no way for my phone to call from someone else's phone. They told him that my phone could not be used as a front for someone else's phone on caller id.

Say what you want. Let someone do you like this and I guarantee swearing up and down is NOT ENOUGH to remove the doubt. This got graphic, it got out of hand and there was no way for me to prove that I did not make those calls by accident. Also, I am a busy mom and have accidentally dialed the phone while moving around doing my mom thing during the day so there is a precedent of me calling his phone unawares. So this took the cake. He could not help but think that I accidentally dialed the phone during a sneaky act while he was out of town.

You can say all you want about weak relationships, whatever. People SHOULD NOT use spoofapp this way. There needs to be more awareness at the phone companies because when a family calls to investigate this I assure you they NEED to talk to customer service reps who are familiar with what these phones can do. We have blackberrys and iPhones. And the phone company reps need to have a check list of familiar concerns so that they will not give some stupid blanket answer that doesn't cover the problem.

This has absolutely snowballed out of control. That should not come as a surprise. No grown a** person should have time or interest in this kind of silliness. Not to mention, it is stupid. Why should any family even have to address something like this?

Now put it in greater perspective. Teenagers bully. Kids bully. I live in an area where nearly EVERY child in my daughter's elementary school has a cell phone. Elementary kids with iPhones, Envy2, Blackberrys, you name it. What will this look like a year from now? As soon as I pick her up they all start calling each other. They are phone savvy and young. What if something hurtful or embarrasing happens to a troubled kid? What then? Columbine? Virginia Tech? Wake up! This is dumb as **** to put this out as an easy access "fun" way to prank someone.

This is some bull

Not to mention if you're old enough to have 3 kids and you're still friends with people who would do something like that then something's messed up or you need to evaluate why you're friends with someone who would (cus that's a seriously f'ed up thing to do).


I dunno. things don't quite add up. I think Nicolet is fake and if she's not then I apologize. But yea. that's my view.

Clearly this goes a little bit beyond just a SpoofApp. Someone obviously had some sophisticated technology to replicate your voice, which isn't something that's been advertised on this forum.

It kind of reminds me of when people say "guns kill". Guns don't kill...people kill. Someone used a spoofing service (do you have proof it was specifically a Blackberry App??) along with some voice tools to punk you. You can't completely blame a particular App for what happened.

On a sidenote....I've found that girls named Nicole are nothing but trouble. I've had an abundant amount of them (all trouble) in my life within the past few years. Maybe you had it coming.

Agreed once again (at least on the first 2 paragraphs).

Seems far too advanced for blackberry. definitely sounds like a computer program (which would also be much more common).

[SAFE_NAFE]

What if you did do it and you regret it and your trying to blame a spoof app.

Wouldn't work on me either.

Blaming Spoofapp for this is like blaming Microsoft Word for someone typing a letter with your name on it...

What a load of crap
