Prohibits certain caller identification service manipulation and provides additional penalty.

This New Jersey bill (A3783) prohibits telemarketers from intentionally manipulating caller identification services to display false or misleading information about the origin of calls, with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain value. The law applies to all telemarketing calls made within New Jersey and creates a new disorderly persons offense for violations, punishable by up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. The bill specifically targets deceptive practices where telemarketers use fake phone numbers or names to mislead consumers about who is calling. Exceptions include federal law requirements, court orders, and law enforcement activities, consistent with the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009.
