It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

One effect of the widespread availability of Caller ID spoofing is that, as AARP published in 2019, "you can no longer trust call ID."[2][3]
For fucks sake, this was old news when I was young, how can millionaires not know that kind of shit?
I think he was aware, which is why he said he called the number back.
"hello, you have reached The Apple that makes the phones and the computers. how may I help you"
I'm suspicious and think that whole part of the story might be fabricated so not to appear like a TOTAL idiot. I'm 50/50 on it, but I'd wager (real) dollars that he just looked on the call display and trusted it.
