Can Someone configure their calls to look like they originate from my area?

Can Someone configure their calls to look like they originate from my area?

I received calls from a 'friend' - sometimes on his UK number - other times on a restricted number. When I look at my bill - those restricted numbers show up as originating from my area. This even happened when I was in another state and city. How could this be accomplished and what are the security risks? (No longer connected to thei person).
