It sounds like it's a binary choice, it could have been legit or a scam.
Slightly more seriously without knowing more of the number it could be virtually anything.

The whole number would help us more.
Generally though, a call from the US would start with +1; numbers starting in 01 tend to be UK calls.
Remember that caller IDs are easily spoofed though, so despite what your phone says, the call could actually have originated from anywhere.

Most phone numbers start with 01.

London, Southampton, Coventry, Northern Ireland and Cardiff are the only places that dont.

It also reads all of your contacts and adds them into the Truecaller database. So if you have your missus as "Snugglebuns" then when other people with Truecaller are called by her they will see that.
It's a pretty bad app when it comes to harvesting data without people actually realising what they are giving away by installing it.

"Truecaller acts on a give and take scenario... You want those unknown numbers then you have to part with your phone book contacts.. Now apparently everyone who has installed the app has surrendered his phone book. The data is crowd-sourced from the millions of users who have downloaded the truecaller app on their smart phones. As part of the end user agreement, the truecaller app asks the user to allow access to the user's address book/contacts on the smart phone. This data is then uploaded by the app to the company's servers. After going through several data matching/refining algorithms, this data is made available to all truecaller users to search upon."

Don't most UK numbers start 01 unless on a voip system?

Just slap the number in google, the top links are generally reports on who was calling from that number in various sites logging that sort of stuff.

And the guy with the number 567890 really gets annoyed at times due to the number of calls he gets because people have put a fake number on a form.
