NikkiB #18

[NikB]

Ooookay... while I was posting that I was also calling the appraiser back (he's called twice this AM and I didn't answer, recognized it on the caller ID).

He answered and here was the conversation: (A=Appraiser)

Me: Hey this is Nikki, you left me a message about an appraisal of some sort.
A: [read off 3 numbers (!!) and asked which one was me]
Me: [confirmed the #] I was just wondering, where did you get my information? [polite tone]
A: What do you mean? I don't have your information.
Me: You had my name and phone number. Where did you get it from?
A: I don't have your name.
Me: You left it on the answering machine message that you left me. I didn't contact you so I am just trying to figure out where the information came from.
A: Oh, maybe it's a wrong number.
Me: That could be, but somehow you had my name too. Did you get this from a referral card, did someone call you...??
A: It must be a wrong number, sorry about that. I don't have your information. Wait is your name [some totally off the wall name I couldn't even understand]?
Me: No, it's Nikki. You left it on the answering machine message also.
A: Oh well, that might be right, this is hard to read.
Me: So you're reading it from somewhere, where did you get the number?
A: I don't have any information. [and he was sounding really uncomfortable at this point]
Me: [realizing this is going NOWHERE] Ok well, please stop calling, I don't need an appraisal. Thanks.

WTF?????

I tried a couple reverse phone lookups but all I could find is that it's a cell number. The company name he left on the message doesn't appear to exist unless I spelled it totally wrong, the message was kind of garbled. He also doesn't answer his phone with a company name - just "Hey, this is Miles."

Is this just a totally weird coincidence and some nutjob got my phone #, or is something else going on??
