On several occasions the spoofed number actually had a name associated with it which I recognized, but the number was not that of the named person I knew.
I have seen the same thing. They know people aren't answering so the somehow get a number, with a name, to come up that you recognize and those I get caught on. They must be able to hack your phone for names and numbers that you have answered before. Thankfully those are scare but I'm sure more of the scammers will get this technology soon.
