Could be one of these indian call centres that pre-ring and put you on hold and make you wait with music till they talk. It's like ringing you in advance as they get so many hangups. Also there was a scam where someone claims to be from Telstra, a techo, and asks you to dial in #something and then they can make international calls for free from your number.
Probably Asterisk is doing a good job filtering this out...

And of course the one asking you to dial in #### so they can take over your line is complete and utter bull. It's a long running hoax, do a google and you will see. From a normal land line in australia, it will do nothing.
