CHAPTER 19-C. CALLER ID ANTI-SPOOFING
§1741.1. Legislative findings
The legislature of the state of Louisiana finds that the citizens of this state are potential targets of a telephone scam known as "caller ID spoofing" or "caller ID fraud," which allows a caller to hide his or her true identity by modifying caller ID information with the intent to mislead, defraud, deceive, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. It is, therefore, the intent of this Chapter to protect Louisiana citizens from such scams which have led to financial loss, the loss of personal information, harassment, and potentially threatening telephone calls.
