No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
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.
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?
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
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.

Yes sir it is.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
