Star38.com is a caller ID spoofing service that was recently announced.
You subscribe to the service, and then when you want to make a call you
fill out a web form with your phone #, the number you want to call, and
the CallerID you want to appear on your call. The system then calls you
and the "victim" and bridges the calls together. Supposedly they're
going to only sell this service to what they consider "legitimate"
customers (licensed private investigators, etc.)

Looks like an Asterisk box and a simple CGI script to me.
