I see. That is very interesting. How about mobile numbers, can that be
spoofed as well? E.g. Mobile to landline or mobile to mobile calls?

Caller ID is not safe it's way too easy to spoof - see

Caller ID can be spoofed very easily using VoIP. All someone would
have to
do is set up an Asterisk gateway
(http://www.asterisk.org/) at their office or house even and spoof the
Caller ID.
