Absurd Phone Conversation

picked up one of the most absurd phone calls i have received this year. i wonder if the caller thinks that i am crazy or just trying to be funny. but seriously, i think she's retarded. here's the whole conversation.

Me: Hello!
Caller: Hi, can I speak to Mr Bloomberg please?
Me: Sorry?
Caller: Can I speak to Mr Bloomberg please?
Me: Eh,this is Bloomberg, the company. Who are you looking for?
Caller: Mr Bloomberg please.
Me: Why are you looking for Mr Bloomberg?
Caller: In my database, I have Mr Bloomberg registered under this telephone number. I would like to sell an apartment to Mr Bloomberg.
Me: Oh, Mr Bloomberg is not in Hong Kong.
Caller: When will Mr Bloomberg be back?
Me: Mr Bloomberg is the mayor of New York. He's not going to be in Hong Kong.
Caller: Oh, thank you. Bye.

the above conversation was 100% true. i didnt make it up. my office number is registered as Mr Bloomberg in some property agent database. it really baffles me on how did that happen. seriously. on hindsight, im pretty retarded too because i was actually talking to her when i could have just said " wrong number ". my colleague told me that i should have told her i am Mr Bloomberg's daughter and then see which apartment she's trying to sell. i told him i dont want to see the apartment as i might fall in love with it but i wouldnt have money to buy/rent it at all.
