Just because the numbers are different, don't assume the caller is. Calling from multiple numbers which may appear to be scattered across the country is a favorite trick, especially among collection agencies ("legitimate" and illegitimate).
While you might not answer a call from Nevada, where you don't know anyone, you might be quick to grab the phone when a call comes from Wisconsin where your Mom is living.
Or you might just wonder what the heck all these calls are, and answer one to find out.
I'm betting you only have one caller.
