Yes, I got a call like this once. Being the tender hearted soul that I am, I went out on the call. The address was fictitious. I think I know who the boys were who called in. Hey, they had a good laugh at my expense. I guess this is just retribution. I remember as a young boy calling the little privately owned grocery store and asking if they had Prince Albert in the can. Of course I followed by asking them to please let him out.
