This story reminds me of when I was a teenager and delivered a weekly free newspaper to the neighbouring houses. The newspaper company would call up a few houses to check if they'd received the paper. Except they never connected the employee database and the "mystery shopper" database, so would call our house phone every few months and ask if we'd received the newspaper. It was always a source of amusement for us!
