Fake phone ID's are being used by people across the country.

Now anyone can download a software program or, for as little as $4.95, buy a spoof card online that will enable them to call someone on their telephone but have the caller ID on the receiving end display any number they want.
"With the advent of new technology comes new ways to exploit the technology and criminals continue to stay on top of technology and abuse it," New Hampshire Asst. Atty. Gen. Lucy H. Carrillo said. Carrillo works in the internet crimes unit which trains law enforcers in detecting and investigating cyber crime. Law enforcement officers, bounty hunters, private investigators, and companies who hire mystery shoppers to spot check on their call center operators are frequent users of the service, Cohen said. Some even buy the additional voice alteration service, he said.

One criminal case pending trial in Rockingham County involves an East Kingston woman who allegedly bought a disposable cellular telephone and registered it to her ex-husband, court records reveal.
Kristin K. Ruggiero, 34, allegedly used the phone to send 12 text messages to herself in 2008, then went to local police claiming her former husband, Jeffrey Ruggiero, sent the messages in violation of the restraining order she had against him, court records show.
A grand jury indicted Kristin Ruggiero last May on 12 counts of falsifying physical evidence and one count of making a false report to law enforcement. She pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to go on trial April 19.
