I wouldn't exactly call that "spoofing".  When a caller blocks delivery
of a number using those methods, the caller id box of the called party
will show "Private Caller" or something similiar.  That party would know
that the caller purposely blocked the number from being delivered.  I
personally would treat a call delivered from a number like 999 999 9999
the same as I would those marked private...  I don't answer them.
