Hi its Mike and Maddie Lupo here - we believe that our mobile numbers are compromised. Please be advised as follows:

Understanding Phone Number Spoofing- Phone number spoofing is a technique used by scammers to manipulate caller ID information. This allows them to make it appear as though they are calling or texting from a different number, often one that looks familiar or trustworthy.

How Spoofing Works-
Caller ID Manipulation: Scammers use technology to change the number that appears on the recipient's caller ID. This can be done using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
SMS Spoofing: Similar to caller ID spoofing, SMS spoofing allows fraudsters to send text messages that appear to come from a legitimate number. They can replace the sender ID with any number or name they choose.

Risks of Phone Number Spoofing-
Impersonation: Scammers can impersonate individuals or businesses, tricking recipients into sharing personal information or money.
Identity Theft: If a scammer uses your number, it can lead to confusion and potential identity theft, as victims may believe they are communicating with you.
Financial Loss: Victims may incur unexpected charges if scammers use your number for fraudulent activities.

Protecting Yourself-
Report Spoofing: If you suspect your number is being spoofed, report it to your phone carrier and local authorities.
Use Call Screening: Implement call screening features to filter unknown numbers.
Educate Contacts: Inform friends and family about the possibility of your number being spoofed, so they can be cautious of unexpected messages or calls.

By understanding how spoofing works and taking preventive measures, you can better protect yourself from these types of scams.
