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

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
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.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Yes sir it is.
How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?
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?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Sure no problem officer.
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.
HELLO
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
After a few moments he returns.
