Just to chime in on the matter, there are actual legitimate reasons to spoof a caller ID. There's even legitimate reasons to spoof a caller ID that you don't own. Right now I've got a couple phone systems that are set up to spoof the caller id of incoming calls that are transferred to an outside line. As far as the outside party is concerned, the party that originally dialed in is calling them directly even though our phone system is really just conferencing two separate calls together. If we didn't do this then whoever we transferred the call to wouldn't know anything about who is calling them other than that the call was through us.

It's meant for companies that send employees out into the field that might need to make phone calls from a cell phone (think a plumber or a delivery person). If the "field agent" makes a call, the customer gets the company number, not the number of the "field agent."
