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.
