Beware of this phone number. Tried to tell me about government help for heating bill. Told him to man up and get a proper job. Followed it up with my chicken impression...he hung up.

Well done
The trouble with calling line identity is that it can be spoofed.
"Followed it up with my chicken impression..."

What, you crossed the road? :-)
I can't even block the robo-callers with my phone because they use fake phone numbers. My phone will only block a number, not a name. My phone service is very good at labeling them with caller name Scam Alert or the like. Most of the others have the names of local towns and cities. Occasionally, I do like to pick up and play with them. One time I picked up and said, "Sorry, I've got a pot boiling. Can I have your number to call you right back." He gave me a phone number, which I called back and got the "boiler room" operation. They caught on within a day or two. I only wish I had a prepared reverse "scam" to use when I'd gotten them back.
