Oh, you mean that you can identify the Caller ID number which the spammer chose to spoof at you?

No, it seems most spammers here use cheap SIMs without spoofing (which seems to be what OP is about). They even leave voicemail messages asking to call back.

But spoofing is also something that should be fixed. I know it's difficult because of VoIP and backwards-compatibility, but it's not impossible either.
