Yea, any time I see an 808, I know it's almost certainly spam as only one real person I know has that area code. BUT.... I've had the opposite effect where they spoof to where I physically was regardless of my phone number. I recently contacted a phishing prevention company for a quote. They knew where I was physically located, and called me using a spam number of my local-actual code. I told them flat out that was a bad idea and to not do that. Nothing made me lose initial trust more than a legit company using spoofing tactics. It was the company that bought Wombat Anti-Phishing. They even told me they didn't do it to "prove a point" but rather just they get people to "pick up the phone more often".
