i called somebody else because they called me. they said they didn't call. linda's number has already been spoofed. somebody saying i called them. i'm saying, nope. >> reporter: beta says calls like these make people irritable and defensive. >> no, i didn't call you. why are you calling me? there is an edge to it because everybody's inconvenienced by an unwanted or an unsolicited call. >> reporter: in all of 2017, the federal communications commission received 4,000 complaints about spoofing. now, after just three months this year, the number of complaints is on pace to double. >> so generally the pumps of spoof something two-fold. number one, they're engaged in scams and it it is harder to trace back who is doing the scam. >> two, they're trying to trick you into picking up the call. last year the fcc levied $200,000 in fines on telemarketers accused of spoofing. the finds were the first of its

kind. now regulators are working with providers to develop technology to authentic legitimate calls and block spoofed ones. as of january 1st, phone companies are now able to block calls when the caller i.d. information comes from invalid phone numbers. now we contacted verizon, t-mobile, sprint and at&t, and only at&t committed to voluntarily blocking those calls. the other providers pointed to their "antispam technology" which customers must opt into and sometimes pay to get. i'm michael finney. 7 on your side. a concord police officer was taken by surprise yesterday morning when he ran into this rattlesnake. his experience prompted a timely reminder from fellow officers who are encouraging anyone who is out searching for easter eggs today to be careful. snake season has begun and that means we are likely to see more of the rattlers out and about, especially as it warms up in the morning. 9:25. a florida homeowner found a
