Default I Got Spoofed!

I just got "spoofed" a few minutes ago. My telephone rang and the Caller ID showed my name and phone number! I answered it and it was some credit company robocall that started off they were calling about one of my credit cards that didn't have a problem- but they would show me how to get a lower rate. Then, the robot call hung up.

Normally I do not answer the phone if the Caller ID shows a number I do not recognize but my own number?

It must be illegal for a company to spoof your own number but since they do not say who they are specifically, who can you complain to?

Has this happened to anyone else?
