how do scam calls generate random phone numbers?

I’ll get a call and sometimes no one even answers me when I pick up and then I will call it back and get the “this # has been disconnected ” response. How does that work?

The telephone systems allows you to set your caller id to anything you like, it’s not set for you based on your number.

This lets you do things like show up as a your business name, but often gets abused to display an incorrect callback number so you don’t know whos calling and can’t call them back.

Why this system is so open and abusable I have no idea….
