Is this a scam?

Had a call from a UK mob number at lunch. I answered and it went quiet and then dead. Called them back, no answer.

I then called the number from my work phone and a woman answered. I asked if she had called my mobile a little earlier, she said no she hadn't and started to get defensive, wouldn't give me her name, said she categorically hadn't called me, started to even get shirty when I said yes she had. So I ended the call. Checked and she has a whatsapp profile, but not sure how to find out who she is? Has anyone had this before?

Wondering what on earth it was and if it's a scam. Please no suggestions that it is another woman, or an affair.

And to add to my last post, I even had one person call me back and were (understandably) upset because I had apparently called their mother and tried to scam her.
I promise you, I hadn’t made that call. I was pretty distressed by that one.
