I recently had a call from a collection agency I think and they asked for someone with a similar name incorrectly pronounced. I asked who was calling but they would not say so I refused to talk with them.
Assuming this was a collection agency, the only thing I can think this would be in relation to is that I left my previous job before a relocation agreement had expired, and I believe the company thinks I owe them money, however they were closing down due to a joint venture, so I left before they started laying people off.
