Have you texted your textdoor neighbor?

The weirdest one I’ve ever had was this guy who was calling me from 1500 miles away expecting to talk to some girl he was chatting with online. Every time he called he got even more irate. One time he called while he was online chatting with this girl (I assume), and he asked her for her number while talking to me, and it was my number. He then asked for the town she (?) was supposedly in, and it was the same one I was in. This was a sparsely populated area code at the time, and each town had its own extension or couple of extensions, so whomever was on the other end of my computer was in my town or at least familiar with it. When pressed, the person on the other end of the computer said she (?) wasn’t really living there, just staying temporarily.

I never understood what was happening there. Was it a scam? On whom? If so, what was the point? Was the person on the other end telling the truth, and they just didn’t know their number because they were only staying there temporarily? If so, why give out a phone number you don’t know is yours?
