WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Senate has passed legislation aimed at stopping scam artists who use fake phone numbers on someone’s caller ID to dupe them into surrendering personal banking or other valuable information.

The bill, known as the Truth In Caller ID Act, zoomed through the Senate unanimously late Tuesday.  Sponsored by U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, the bill would put an end to so-called “spoofing,” which occurs when a telephone caller alters the number or other information that appears on a recipient’s Caller ID to conceal their identity with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain something of value.

The legislation would make it a federal crime to use caller identification services to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information.  Under the bill, those who violate the law would be subject to a $10,000 fine per incident and could spend up to one year in jail.

“Spoofing is one of the worst of the new information-age con games,” Nelson said today.

A similar bill in the House hasn’t received a full committee vote yet.  Nelson said he’ll push to have the House accept his version.
