My family has been the target of a harassments campaign by a group of young teenage boys because my sibling has a small following on YouTube and for some reason these dweebs have decided to make it their life’s mission to bully my sib off the internet. Because Sib has fortified all means of communication online and is no longer reachable, the harassers have been contacting me and anyone associated with Sib by sending threatening texts and voice mails through spoofed numbers. The police are involved on Sib’s side of things, but I’m just curious how these idiots are managing to spoof their numbers to attack us daily. What’s the mechanism for this? How does it work?

Other people have given great answers but here’s an application of it – back in the day, you could spoof a number and then call it on some carriers, that carrier would interpret that as that number trying to check its voicemail; if they didn’t have a PIN on their mailbox, it could be accessed.
