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

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
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.
After a few moments he returns.
HELLO
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?
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.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
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 are some effective ways to cope with loss and grief?
Yes sir it is.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Sure no problem officer.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
