Do Not Call protection in North Carolina

Where do the calls reported in North Carolina come from?

Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in North Carolina may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a North Carolina number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
