scammers can change the mobile number you see when they call. Its called number spoofing . This call at 5 am could be a robot calling that calls numbers from a call list and tests if someone answers the call and takes note of active phone numbers.
The scammers can spoof the phone number, so they can pretend to be calling from your local area code. The number is fake whatever.
SIN number, Social Security number, no government agency is going to call you and tell you you are in peril, or threaten you with legal action or fines.
Just one other point: Some of these scammers have the technology to stay on your line for a little while after you have hung up. So if you then make another call they can spoof being whoever you call (your bank, police, whomever). So yes, if you get a credit card scam call, you should phone the number on the back of your bank card, but either from a different phone line, or wait til later.
If you see these blocked numbers, usually they are scammers / telemarketers or people trying to see if you're a candidate for one of their phony scams. You can't see private numbers, as the caller may have blocked the # or they have entered a code before dialing and it blocks their # from displaying. You can contact your provider and see if they can turn on an option for you to see private #'s. Hope this helps!
