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

Yes sir it is.
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.
Sure no problem officer.
How often do you watch the news on TV?
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.
After a few moments he returns.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
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 you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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?
HELLO
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
