There is a new technique here now, where the telemarketing centres in
the Philippines, Hong Kong, SE Asia generally, are able to display an
Aus number (presumably come in via an internet connection), appearing
to be calling from any Aus state, with the giveaway being an extended
pause prior to the telemarketing operator engaging you if you answer
the call.
There are online services that will let you spoof the caller id.
One of the main reasons I have a google voice number is so I can give out a
number that is fairly telemarketer proof. Google's spam filters on the
voice service is pretty good and, if one does get through, I can block it
and they just get a disconnected message any time they call in the future.
