Bluedart held up package IVR Call fraud

I have been receiving IVR calls from random mobile numbers (9819945374 etc.) regarding Bluedart courier delivery held-up and asking to press 9 to talk to customer care. On pressing 9, the person who picks up the phone claims to be from Bluedart but asks for the tracking/consignment number which is not available with me. The person asks why I have called him, although my IVR call has been diverted to him. The person does not attempt to seek further details from me. A bit of harsh talk ends up in call disconnection.

On calling the incoming number 9819945374 again, the receiver claims to be some innocent person from Mumbai and starts pleading innocence when threatened. It appears calls are being made thru VOIP/Computers by filling in random caller IDs to avoid detection of source of call.

Not sure whether it is an attempted fraud and how they plan to commit fraud.

Was it recorded IVR or physical call?

Same for FedEx. Ivr then redirect to an agent.

I am keep getting these calls, once i pressed '9' and person from other side was asking my name, when i was refusing, he was harsh. I had cut the call. But looks like numbers from Bluedart website are leaked/stolen.
