Prank SELCAL call?

Today we received a SELCAL call on HF, just after we advanced the thrust levers for takeoff. As we were only doing about 30kt, we aborted - who knows, it could have been a bomb threat or something.

We checked with the company & Stockholm Radio, but neither of them had initiated a call to our code.

Has anyone else experienced this type of thing before? Could it have been a prank call? Is this something that can easily be done?
