Weird
Not me, but my dad, who a few years ago recieved a letter from a man in Cardiff who claimed that British Gas (who my dad doesn't even work for) had put the wrong diameter pipes under his drive, causing an explosion risk, and that my old man needed to sort this out. My dad wrote back, explaining he didn't work for British Gas, that he had no idea how the guy had got his name and address (given we lived in Warwickshire).

A week or so later my dad gets another letter. Claiming that the guy had had his own building team on site, waiting for my dad and his British Gas building team, to repair the pipes. Of course my dad hadn't turned up, and now the somewhat irate weirdo started to claim that as he was an intimate friend of many hollywood directors (Spielberg was mentioned) and actors he was going to get funding to expose British Gas and my dad as liars and a threat to human safety.

My dad wrote back (again) explaining (again) that he had no idea what this guy was on about. The guy writes back to us - bringing us up to speed on his hollywood project, and now claiming to be using his connections in the House of Lords to get a parliamentary enquiry as to why my dad and his'team' hadn't turned up to replace the pipes. My dad didn't bother replying, but for the next six months or so we got the odd letter from him telling us that he'd got various actors and politicians on board and that he was going to expose my dad for what he really was.

Crazy or just felt the need to make a complete stranger aware of how awesome his life is? I still have no idea.
