phone call

I just got a phone call, which proceeded as follows:
Caller: “I’d like to speak to Ashley.”
Me: “This is Ashley.”
Caller: “I’m with Montana State University and I’m trying to clear up an account balance of $200 for tuition.”
Me: pause “Where?”
Caller: “Montana State University.”
Me: “I’m confused. I’ve never been to Montana.”
Caller: “Are the last four digits of your social ****?”
Me: relieved “No, that’s not me.”
Caller: “I’m sorry.” hangs up

It kind of reminds me of the M*A*S*H episode I watched last night, where BJ is arrested because his friend gave a hotel BJ’s name as a practical joke, and proceeded to hold a wild party there, disrupting a three-star general. They straighten it out, and BJ is off the hook. Then, at the end of the episode, BJ gets the hotel bill of $500 for damages.

I’m glad Montana State let me off the hook without arresting me. :-)
