A handful of people living in Quarryville have received late night phone calls. When they answer, a man or a recording asks sometimes threatening or personal questions. The caller ID shows the calls are coming from the Quarryville Library.
Police say, that's not possible. They say someone is using technology called "spoofing" to call victims. It's a service that allows a user to type in any business or name they want as the caller ID.
Trooper Glenn Blue explains, "People can call , using a service or through cell phone, and change caller ID." He says the calls are mostly random, and using spoofing is not illegal. But, he warns, harassing phone calls are illegal. If they continue, police will investigate more and possibly prosecute.
