Abstract

Caller ID Spoofing is on the increase everywhere in the world. A large number of people have become victims of the Caller ID Spoofings. The awareness among teachers will be an effort to control the crimes and protect the student populace, at least to be vigilant. The present study was conducted to investigate Caller ID Spoofing awareness among teacher trainees studying at Government Teachers College, Addalaichenai. A normative survey method was adopted on a sample of 200 teacher trainees selected by stratified random sampling technique. The data were collected by using Caller ID Spoofing Awareness Scale and Personal Information Schedule. The major findings of the study have revealed that there exist significant differences in Caller ID Spoofing awareness among teacher trainees with respect to gender, while there is little difference in terms of locality. It is recommended to have more awareness progammes to the students and teachers to prevent themselves from falling victim of this technology.
