Reply to comment by Greggers42 in FCC Threatens to Disconnect Twilio for Illegal Robocalls by BasedSweet

Yes those are all clues on how to detect a possible spoof text. Yet, what some of us want to know is how tracing back a spoofed number that displays a valid existing number, results in determining that the text originated from Twilo. How does it make that distinction?

The poster has corrected it to say there were two numbers. Which seems more sus to me but I’ll give the benefit. Personally, I’ve heard the term spoofed number to apply to any number being used in a spoof attempt. Not necessarily the actual number, so that was where I was going with the forgiveness of the explanation.
