There's no way for them to know your phone number through your IP address. If that is what they're claiming, it's a big bluff. The call was a scam and just as you have noticed, there is indeed a quick increase in the number of reports related to this particular phone scheme. But despite the increase, more people are now aware and vigilant against suspicious calls. The scammers can call all they want, but they'd surely have a hard time finding a victim.
