This may not apply but I have had a similar situation.
Caller ID did show the number. If I dialed the number it went to an exchange in the Dominican Republic and I was charged something like $20 per minute while listening to a recorded message saying my call would be answered momentarily.
After it happened twice in a couple of days I got smart enough to Google the number and found out what was going on.
Verizon said there wasn't anything they could do because they couldn't block the area code and the scumbags changed the number often so blocking it didn't help. They did do a onetime removal of the charge. I haven't received anymore of the calls for some unknown reason.
