I get them constantly, at home and on the cell phone.  I've stopped answering it unless I recognize the number.

I actually got a 000-000-0000 call once.  Just another spoofed number from an IP phone.

You don't need to do anything more complicated than spoofing your caller ID signal to make it look like you're calling from a nonexistent number.  If you search on the phrase spoof your telephone number: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=spoof+your+telephone+number  you'll get tons of hits on that subject.
