Default New Spoofing Method?

I just had a "junk" call on my home phone. It was a recorded call asking me to take a survey. I hung up as soon as I realized that. The reason I picked up the call was my caller ID had my nephew's name - but it was not his phone number. The name was just like I have it listed on my cell phone (Dave B). I am wondering if my cell phone list of names might have been hacked into and this is a way to get people to answer these "junk" calls. I did try calling back the number but got the message that is a non-working number.

The cell phone service is with ATT and the home phone is with Comcast.

Anyone hear of such a thing before?
