    Is it a crime to text someone and say you are someone that you are not, spoofing or hiding your real phone number and identity, in Wisconsin?

    Yes, such an act of impersonation of a real person could potentially result in state or federal charges. Depending upon the full facts, the charge could even be a felony.
