Got a call from the Maine Revenue Service or Department or Something Official 



I got back from lunch today while at work and I had a phone message. I assumed it was Heather, since she's the only person that calls me at work.

But, it was a message from a Mike Somebody with the "State of Maine." He left a number and asked that I call him back.

I'm thinking, trying to remember anything that may have had to do with the State. Nothing.

I call the number and get his voicemail/machine. It says he's with the Maine Revenue Something.

I leave a message and immediately begin worrying about taxes. I did submit them and I did get money back which the state did pay me. Was I being audited? Wouldn't something tax related be the IRS? Was it some student loan thing? I've paid them every month for a long while now. I was getting a little nervous.

He calls back.

"Thanks for calling me back..."

Yeah, no problem.

"You were listed as a reference by your brother Scott McKenney... and some other stuff I wasn't listening to... blah blah..."

Hold on. I'm sorry but I don't have a brother Scott.

"Huh. Do you know anyone named Scott McKenney?"

Nope.

"Have you ever lived at 16 SomePlaceYou'veNeverLived Road?"

No I haven't. My fears have subsided greatly by now.

"Well, okay then. I guess I need to find another number!"

He apologizes. I say it fine. I don't get audited or in some trouble for my student loans.

I don't know what Scott's issue is though.
