Like today I got a bot call from a number, then a person called me from that number asking if I had called THEM because they had a missed call from me…
EDIT:Thank you to all who answered! I understand now.

The caller ID system is based on trust. When a phone central connect to a neighboring central to forward a call it may send a caller ID identifying the origin of the call. There is no way for the receiving phone central to verify this called ID at all so they have to trust that the system is not abused. Most medium size companies have their own phone central these days and needs to be trusted.
