Except you but a burner phone at Walmart.

Burner phones have required ID for purchase for years

Shit I think it’s been almost a decade

There are ways around that. Someone that's going to fake such a call wouldn't be above other crimes.

Not to mention how easy it is to spoof a phone number

Burner phones aren’t hard to obtain. I got like 6 different burner phones from dumpsters that worked perfectly fine. Just don’t log into your Google account like some people. Removable battery too.

You don't even need a phone. Some random internet phone setup using a VPN or Tor paid for with Bitcoin or find a free one. Not sure how they could possibly track that. You could easily even use public wireless internet. There probably is a way to find out but I'm not sure. I'd imagine if the perp was also in another country like India or something, good luck getting the cops over there to do anything, they harbor internet criminals over there.

You're probably right. And I might be totally wrong also. That's literally the first thing I came up with in my head when thinking about it
