Phone Number Spoofing

"I received a call and my call display indicated a phone number 123-456-7890 or 777-777-7778 (or any other strange combination of numbers)".

This is a phone number that has been programmed into the system so your call display indicates a different number than the originators.   Although this does not mean the offer you are receiving is illegal, you should certainly have a "red flag" approach to any offer.

Why would a legitimate company try to obscure their identity?
