Apple watch telephone call

Has anyone received any calls just on Apple watch? I did not answer...I don't answer calls I do not recognize. But the wierd thing is it did not show up on my iPhone? Assuming it is a scam, but where would someone get the number associated with my watch? Lot's of questions...

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

Cellular carriers reuse cellular numbers all the time. After a certain period of time of the number being cancelled on one account, it can be reassigned to another account. While the number assigned to an Apple Watch is not supposed to be used to call the way, if someone dialed a wrong number or used a number that had been assigned to someone else, it can happen. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to happen often. At that time, call your carrier and explain it to them.
