Caller IDs can be spoofed too. Around year back, I started getting calls asking me to stop calling them, when I had never called them in the first place. Then it clicked, someone had spam called by spoofing my number. What is googling going to do in this case?
Somehow this has happened to my parents. No clue how, but they started getting phone calls from me, calls I never made. It was just some call center in india with a credit card scam, so it was obvious that it wasn't me once they picked up.
Even stranger, I'll occasionally get a call on my home phone which the Caller ID identifies as coming from my home phone with me as the caller -- to myself! At least it makes it easy for me to spot as a spoofed caller.
