Being the business I am in, just attended a seminar recently that addressed this.
I need to go back into my notes and get the link for you but there is a service that can trace the number to the current carrier, even if that number has been ported from another carrier.

Also, extremely easy to call you and make you think it is another number that called you.
We did it to my boss in the seminar. He was in another room listening to a different presentation and we called a friend of mine that was with me and used my boss' number to show up on my friend's phone.
When we were done, we laughed silly as we showed my boss his number on my friend's phone as having called him yet my boss' phone did not show any dialed calls.
Crazy stuff.
