What are you referring to by "OSI"? Not the 7 layer model, but that's all I can find. It's good to explain abbreviations when they're not the most common usage of that abbreviation.

If they don't have my contacts, they can't spoof a number from my contacts. If they just spoof local numbers, the chance of them choosing one of my contacts is incredibly slim.

Sorry, I am really bad at explaining things. By OSI, I meant was Open-source intelligence. And the proper abbreviation is OSINT. So this time instead of explaining, I just link to Wikipedia
