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

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
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 hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
After a few moments he returns.
What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
HELLO
{RING} {RING}
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
Sure no problem officer.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Why does Russia seem so angry over the US and UK missile strikes in Ukraine?
Yes sir it is.
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.
