---> James petitioned, "Can someone within Cincinnati area report this to the telephone company and have them trace this number. I would call them if I new the local telephone company's number and was a customer, but I live in another state." <---
And tell them what? That some anonymous person on the Internet who uses a cell phone from an unknown carrier requested that anyone who lived in Cincinnati call to report that the caller ID allegedly appearing on another anonymous person's phone is wrong?
And which "the telephone company" should we call? The list of telephone companies in Ohio is very long, and even longer if you include VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) companies:

The bottom line is that you need to resort to self-help. Either you or your father need to report it, yourselves. Then share with us what you find out.
Got a message from a person with an Indian accent who said he was with microsoft windows and that he
wanted to get me to a technician to solve my problems with Windows. He guided me to a pop-up window and wanted me to type in wwwlogmein.com. He said he was calling from Arizona, so I told him to call back at
4:15 pm Arizona time. This call came to me at 4:44 pm Cincinnati time. I talked with my son-in-law who is much more computer literate than I and he said I did right not to give control of my computer to anyone.
I live in the 513 area code. This number suddenly showed up on call ID when a friend in another state called. Usually his correct number shows up, but today it was this one. I answered and spoke to him, we were perplexed by the call ID. He called back a couple of times (testing it) and it was this number each time. When I called the number back, like others, a recording said it was not in service. Weird.
