To be clear for those who somehow don't get these calls, telemarketers have been spoofing phone numbers with impunity for over 3 years now. At least, 3-4 years ago is when I first started getting daily telemarketing calls. Telemarketers spoof the area code or prefix or both so at first glance it appears you're being called by someone local to you.
