About a month ago, I got a call from a man who identified himself as "Mr. Davis." He told me he needed an insurance attorney to help him with some sort of fraud matter, and I began to take down his information. It started out just like any other call...then things got weird.
First off, he would not give me his first name or his address. He then told me that his phones were tapped, and that "agents" were currently listening in and watching his every move. He got even more paranoid, and started demanding that I give him "proof" that I was who I said I was (working for the Bar Association). Attempts to assure him I was an employee of the Bar were ignored. By this point, I knew he was crazy and I was calmly trying to figure out a way to get him off the phone. I told him several times that I could not be of any assistance to him and tried to get him off the phone but he just continued ranting, and I had to hang up on him.
Anyway, about an hour later, he showed up at our office, and started yelling at the receptionist and another coworker who was up front, demanding to see me and speak to me in person. Now, I never give out my last name for safety reasons, but he knew my first name and was ranting on and on about how he HAD to see me in person because he needed a GUARANTEE that I was who I claimed to be on the phone.
Luckily, our receptionist has a little buzzer under her desk for this very purpose, and the cops quickly came and escorted him out of the building. All in all though, a pretty scary moment.
