If this event happens in which two caller ids match then it is a case of caller id spoofing. If the first caller who has already made a call wants to make a fake call he will use caller id spoofing by which he can hide his original phone caller id and rather his different caller Id will be shown to the called toll free number. Hence by this way the businessman who is using the toll free number and receiving the fake call will be wasting so much of his call minutes which otherwise could have been used for the growth of his business would he had received calls from genuine caller id.
