What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?
12.06.2025 10:31

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.
Sure no problem officer.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
{RING} {RING}
After a few moments he returns.
Yes sir it is.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
HELLO
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
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?
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.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
