Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media, for facilitating incoming spoof call determinations are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving call-setup data including a point code associated with origination of a call intended for a receiving device. The point code can be utilized to determine that the call intended for the receiving device is a spoof call. Such a spoof call can be initiated by a spoof-calling party associated with a number and is intended to provide an indication to the receiving device that the call is associated with another number.
