You're confused about the meaning of "falsify": alter so as to mislead. Using a caller ID name / number that you have the right to use is, of course, fine. Using a caller ID name / number that is clearly and obviously not you is attempting to mislead. You can't walk in to a bank and say you're someone else. So, just like that, but with phones. But I really wonder why you think it necessary to make excuses for scammers...
