No. It is commonly preceded by a preposition because it is the objective form of "who." You could say "who called whom" without using a preposition.

Guidelines in using who and whom?

Who and whom are precisely like he and him, or I and me. In formal writing, who is always the subject of a verb and whom is always the object of a verb or a preposition, but in complex sentences these relations may not always be obvious. For example : My friend, whom I know to be true, is here tonight. In this sentence whom is the object of the verb know. But: My friend, who I know is true, is here tonight. In this sentence, who is the subject of is, and the phrase I know is "absolute," that is grammatically outside of the sentence. If you are not sure whether to use who or whom, use who. Even if it is wrong, it is a lesser error than using whom incorrectly would be.
