Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
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?
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Yes sir it is.
HELLO

After a few moments he returns.
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.
