While, with hindsight, I'm pretty sure he's right, this is the only international number so far to display as a number instead of "INTERNAT" on my phone.  It does seem to be a US format number.  However this also means that, presumably, this number can be blocked as the source of scams?

I suspect advance fee fraud.  And that is big business.

Also there is one too many 9's on the number for it to come from an 01607
code, so I suspect you are right, Nigel.

This is in all probability NOT a UK number.

I suspect that the call originates from (+1) area code 607.

The number that is transmitted in CLI form does NOT include 0 or 00
in front. But it has a "natioanl/international" flag elsewhere in the 
protocol. So the receiving telco can prepend the appropriate code for
the "+". E.g. I call the USA it SHOULD show up as 011448703212282 but if 
I call Germany they will see 00448703212282.

Unfortunately, that flag is very often not properly set, so you get the
"STD access code" in front (i.e. 0, instead of 00).

I see this all the time on inbound calls.

01607 9999999 is the number on CLI

I've reported it, of course I have.  Just wanted you to know that you do 
not wish to answer this call when it shows up in your phone's display
.
