You realize that the spam is not coming from the actual line owning the number, right? They can spoof the number, so they could make it look like it came from any number. If they put some effort into researching you, they could make the spam look like it came from your mom.

Amusingly I got a spam call last week that came up on caller ID as “Obama 2012”.

Yes. We need authentication and authorization at both levels.

I actually got a spam call from myself once. They spoofed my own number. Got a bunch of followup calls, voicemails, and texts for a month or so after that.
