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

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?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

What are Best Breakfast Places in Pune?

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.

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

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

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

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??

Sure no problem officer.

What was your most memorable experience catching a fraudulent car seller?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

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

After a few moments he returns.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

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.

Yes sir it is.
