>Also, they apparently have technology now to mask it as the bank which is why the name and number shows as is.

That is NOT new. That is what every organized scammer operation does.

Also, hope you get it all fixed in the end.

Not to worry you, but as a 13 year old 10 years ago I spoofed my number regularly :d

It's so common, there's a law forbidding spoofed numbers to show in my country

Let's just say that only a stupid person would be spam/scamcalling from their own number, so spoofing numbers to appear as someone else is the bread and butter of their operations.

I've seen questionable numbers with people pretending to be from a bank but never 'legit' matching names and numbers
