I just received the second of two calls from the same phone company asking for a guy who hasn't worked in our US office in almost 3 years! No big deal if it's a "cold" sales call, but this was regarding a trouble ticket on a T1 line (tech stuff, which we deal with, in a separate division of our company).
Not wanting to get one of our clients disconnected from us, I took the information. It gets increasingly stranger. The trouble ticket was opened by a guy (from an East Coast company, possibly a client) who gave a callback number. When the phone company rep tried to call him back, the rep was told they never heard of him!?!?
The East Coast guy gave my former colleague's name (RL) and our current phone number as the "on-site" contact person. RL has never worked at our current location, so that phone number never belonged to him.
(Are you starting to hear the Twilight Zone music??)
On a completely separate stage in our bizarre circus, another colleague just cancelled on a group dinner for Friday. It seems his wife's cousin was driving to work yesterday morning in a small town in Illinois and pulled over because he wasn't feeling well.
He was found dead of a heart attack. HE WAS 39!
