infernal machines posted:to be clear, he called the number that appeared on his phone, that the scammer had just called from. rather than say, looking up the number on the apple dot com website, and calling that. isn't it possible to spoof a number and have the victim reach you back even if they hang up and dial the spoofed number? something about the connection being kept open. i dunno how phones work. ie. they could spoof the real apple number, victim goes to apple dot com slash support or whatever and finds the same number, dials back but it's still the scammer

inputfailed posted:No. Phones don't work like that. old fashioned landlines do actually work like that. the line is not disconnected until both parties hang up (or some time elapses), so you can hang up on one phone, walk over to another phone on the same line (or yell at the person who the call is for), and continue the call. scammers would play a dial tone over the phone line after they hear you hang up so that you think you're making a new call, but you're actually still on the same call with them. this doesn't work for mobile phones or any voip-based systems

I haven't worked on a pure analog system in years Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Apr 20, 2022 |

if you're a telco nerd like me and you're in the PNW the Connections Museum in Seattle has a couple working AT&T/WE switches that they do tours of. IIRC they have a panel switch, a 1XB, a 5XB, a 3ESS, and a 5ESS all in working condition, and they're restoring a 1ESS.

It definitely did used to work like that for landline connections in the UK although I think it works differently now. when I was a kid my parents' landline phone got called by someone's small child somewhere, who picked up the receiver, dialed the number at random and then wandered off leaving the receiver off the hook. The phone was unusable for a while (however long it took the people at the other house to notice the phone was off the hook and put it back on)

look in real life bank runs are bad because the banks don't physically have 1:1 every dollar that's in someone's bank account on hand with bitcoin though everything's blockchain and trustless and pier to peer so fractional reserve banking can't happen, but we still can't allow a bank run because
