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

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
{RING} {RING}
HELLO
How can parents identify and address early signs of racial bias in young children?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
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.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
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'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.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Yes sir it is.
After a few moments he returns.
Sure no problem officer.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
What 10 things have you stopped doing in your life?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
