One thing is caller id spoofing (would it be possible to spoof my wife caller id), another thing is how reasonable my "wife's" request is.

1. Yes, the ease with which attackers can take over a phone number is a big security issue in general 2. You might question your wife's request but people are far less likely to question their CEO in the same way, it might be seen as insubordination

It's dead easy to spoof caller IDs. Any kid could do it.

Somehow looks it's not so easy to do in EU. Especially with mobile phone numbers. Or i'm just bad at googling.
