And several websites have sprung up to provide Caller ID spoofing services, eliminating the need for any special hardware.

You should be able to enable anonymous call blocking.

I do have that. If someone blocks their phone number a recording comes on from the phone company and says that they cant block their number if they want to talk to me!

@Victor Murphy,

I missed the part that said a number was listed, but that it was your home number.

Robert's right that someone's spoofing the caller ID system.
