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

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.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
HELLO
Yes sir it is.
Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Sure no problem officer.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
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 what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
After a few moments he returns.
