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.

They are not calling from that number, they are calling and spoofing the caller ID. It’s a pretty common practice, to avoid call blockers. The deployment or STIR/SHAKEN in the US will enable phone companies to block these practices, but few customers are pushing to have the standard activated on their lines. It will also block phone calls from poorly configured businesses, and phone companies don’t rush to throw business customers under the bus..
