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

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?
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
HELLO
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
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.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
After a few moments he returns.
Yes sir it is.
Sure no problem officer.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
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.
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.
