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

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

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?

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

After a few moments he returns.

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.

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

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??

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.

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

Sure no problem officer.

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

What can I say to a scammer who thinks he loves me, but I don't want to be scammed?

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