JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - You can't always trust your caller ID, according to a top Georgia official. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr issued a warning about con artists disguising the number on your caller ID to appear to be financial institutions, government entities and other credible organizations. The Federal Communications Commission announced this month that it is enforcing the RAY BAUM'S Act, which bans falsifying caller ID information via text message and international calls. The best advice to beat spoofers is simple -- never assume that someone is who they purport to be just because the number displayed on your caller ID matches that of an organization you know. Remember, your credit union will never ask you to do any of these things, and the IRS will never call you.
