This "spoofing" of local numbers seems to be on the rise.  I haven't had people call me .complaining of receiving calls from me.  I HAVE been on the receiving end of local numbers calling me (same area code, and  same Verizon prefix as my number) and either no one is there or it's a scam, sales call, or a recording.  If I don't answer, no voicemail is left.  I don'.t bother to call the number back to complain - if it's a spoofed number , the person who's number it is has no idea it's being used.  No point in calling them.

I figure if someone really needs to talk to me they will call again or leave a message for me.  But I am seeing a definite increase in these numbers being local numbers.
