Caller ID Spoofing-----Help Out a Bro

[4everwarriors]

Hadn't heard of this smack, but apparently been around for a while. Apparently not illegal nor can the telephone companies do anything about it or identify the culprit.
What it boils down to is some a-hole essentially steals one's name and phone number and thru the Internet attaches the stolen name and number to their phone. The victim's phone line, I'm told, is not compromised. Consequently, when they make a call, the stolen ID info is displayed. Often times done by telemarketers.
Question is how to deal with this if you're the victim? Can absolutely drive you nuckenfuts to field calls from folks who want to know why you called them, particularly in an office scenerio, and didn't leave a message.
BTW, if this is either Crean's idea of a joke or F*ckin' messin' with me, I'm gonna pee in your grain infested beer.
