The weirdest thing happened last night. I received a call on my mobile at about 5am, from an English guy, which went a bit like this:
Pom: Hi there, could I speak to Jeremy please?
Me: Speaking…
Pom: I'm calling to let you know that you haven't confirmed your enrollment in the Faculty of Commerce at some university in Epsom.
Me: … I'm sorry, wha? I think you have the wrong number.
Pom: Oh OK. Sorry about that.[Hangs up.]
[2 minutes later]Pom: Hi again. I checked my records and this is the correct number. This is Jeremy Higgs, right?
Me: Yes.
Pom: And you live in my correct suburb?
Me: Yes…
Pom: Well that's all correct then. Would you like to confirm your enrollment for this year in the Faculty of Commerce?
Me: Well, uh, I'm a student at UNSW in Sydney, Australia. I don't live in the UK.
Pom: Oh. We have you in our records as a student here.
Me: …
Pom: What time is it over there?
Me: … 5am.
Pom: Blimey! I'm very sorry about that.
The name of the university escapes me at this time, but it was just an absurd conversation. How on earth would I have been entered as a student at a university in the UK, with my correct details?
However, the cynic in me says maybe it was an attempt to try and get me to hand over personal information or a scam. The only thing I let him know was my name and suburb (which he already knew), so what was the point?
Weird…








Perhaps someone stole your identity. Woot!
Yeah, wouldn’t that be something to celebrate…!
Sounds like one of your friends yanking your chain. You’ve never signed a friend up for amway junk mail or Army recruitment info??
Nope, never. I figure it was that. I can’t see any of my friends being awake at 5am, though.
Im awake at that time jem
Check REA prices yet jem?
heh
Lol.
