What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Sure no problem officer.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
After a few moments he returns.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
What life lesson did you learn the hard way?
ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

HELLO
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
What is the impact of being stereotyped as poor on an individual's life? How does it make them feel?
I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.
Yes sir it is.
