Meh, yes and no.

To make a true call faking app, the app needs to let you manuever through the rest of your phone while waiting for the incoming call, even interrupt whatever you're doing, like a real call would. I'm confused as to why this would require you to stay in your app. (Set an alarm for the chosen time that wakes up a Service that imitates the call.)

For the voice selections, I had -, M, F, or record your own. Huh? -?

See Call Faker (also, it's free) for what a call faking app should look like. It sets a timer that you don't have to see so people can even be looking at your phone and be fooled. It allows you to choose a contact that will be "calling you", even. And the incoming call screen looks like the normal one. Now that will fool someone!

Actually, Fake Me Out Of Here is much better for the spontaneous moments where someone simply won't let go...
All you need to do is shake your phone and that triggers a request for a fake call in a predefined delay! Amazing.
