I find the spoofing of my local area numbers very annoying. I help a local support group and my number is available to people in my area who need someone to talk to.

I would use my answerphone for people not listed as contacts but this isn't an option when someone is already feeling lonely and isolated and getting put through to an answerphone may be too much for them to cope with.

I understand that the number showing isn't the true source number and they will just keep ringing people using other numbers but I still enjoy hitting the big red button on my callblocker.
