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

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
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.
Why do you think there is growing support for far-right parties in Europe?
Sure no problem officer.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
HELLO
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?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Have you ever been forced to undress for money just once?
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
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?
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.
After a few moments he returns.

Yes sir it is.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
