Default Spoofed phone numbers

Like everybody else in this country, I am getting tired of getting those robocalls from Rachael at Card Services or Heather from Cruise Something or other that look like local numbers but are spoofed. Don't answer them most of the time if I don't know the number but occasionally I'll think it's legit and pick up. Then I immediately hang up when I realize what it is. But it happens so many times a day, it drives me crazy.
I just got a call from someone who insisted I had just called him. Well I was taking a nap and my cell phone was on the table next to the couch so I know I didn't call him. He didn't know what "spoofing" was so I had a hard time convincing him that I hadn't called him but someone is using my number to spoof calls. And there is nothing we can do about this. Grr, I am so mad.
