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

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
{RING} {RING}
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?
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?
Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?
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.
After a few moments he returns.
Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?
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.
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.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
HELLO
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
Sure no problem officer.
