It's called spoofing. Scammers can use whatever number for their calls. Not much you or the recipient can do about it.

I always say, Caller ID spoofing is just like letter mail. People can send letter mail to anyone and then use someone else address as the return address. There is no rule to stop people from using the returned address.
