The couple that I have picked up say they got a call from my number with some business name attached (this is a personal number.) #tmobile doesn’t have much to suggest. My best guess is that my number is now being spoofed by a scammer? Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

The people who previously used my cell phone number were a bunch of Far Right rubes who signed up for every spam list known to man, then abandoned the number so some other poor soul (me) could deal with it.
If this initiative stops all the Republican SMS spam I receive, I will be a very happy bear. #robocalls #spam #scams

But Khan's opponents did manage to repeat a lot of the smears against her, and not just the bogus conflict-of-interest story.

Here's something we need but don't have. Canada has #STIR / #SHAKEN deployed now, as I understand it. This lets phone companies determine where scam calls actually originate (technically, from what #phone company they originate or are last vouched for).
But we lack a way to tell the phone company "This was a scam call, investigate it".
