• Spoofing to force you to divulge personal information can be done through email, text messages, caller ID, and even GPS receivers.

  • Be skeptical of any request for personal information, download files only from reliable sources, and install reliable antivirus and antimalware software.
  • If you believe you have been spoofed, file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Consumer Complaint Center. If you have lost money, contact the local police.
