When a scammer calls: 3 strategies to protect customers from call spoofing
Call spoofing, which refers to the process of changing the caller ID to any number other than the actual calling number, is a tactic that has lately been on the rise.
No idea why I picked it up, not expecting a call from NSW. Picked it up and they immediately hung up. Seems other people had exact same problem. Do not pick up, very suspicious and dodgy number.

Just received a call from there, I answered and they didn't speak. I phoned back and was advised that they are acting on behalf of the Kids for Cancer foundation and are running a lottery.
