I get them all the times, allegdly on behalf of state lotteries or
telcos (primarily by SKL and Tele2, if you are interested in details).
Of course, they suppress the caller ID, so there is hardly any way to
prove that the companies are actually involved.

I believe that these calls are not direct fraud, but just an
aggressive (and illegal!) acquisition method, but the line between
this kind of telemarketing and phone phishing is very, very thin.
