I too am pretty sure that was a spoofed number. Dad has gotten a few from a "credit card" company and a "charity". I think since most people are becoming aware not to answer a number not familiar scammers are taking the next step. They are counting on phone being picked up by with just looking at caller ID could possibly be someone they might know. Spoofing evidently is not that hard to do. Just a matter of tricking the caller ID to thinking the call is coming from another number. Could be another city, state or country.
