Am I single and available?

YES..I am single..BUT sorry, NOT available!!

During office hour today, I received a weird phone call from a guy via my office phone. From the caller ID, the phone number did not look familiar and I thought it was probably a friend of mine calling from his office. Hence, I picked up the receiver and here's the conversation.

Note: Me (LL), the guy (G)

LL: Hello.
G : Hi. May I speak to Pang Li Li please?
LL: Yes. Speaking here. Who is on the line please? (At the back my mind, I thought it was probably another sales person from the card centre. It's normal to get this kind of call.)
G : I am calling from Ah Moi.com. (I can't remember if he mentioned his name)
LL: Huh? Can you repeat again? (I was asking to ensure I heard him correctly "Ah Moi.com"?)
G : Yes. Ah Moi.com (He spelled it for me)
LL: Ok.
G : Ms.Pang. I need a favour from you.
LL: What is regarding about? (Getting suspicious. Not a friend but need a favour?)
G : I was referred to you from a friend of yours.
LL: And which friend of mine is that?
G : Actually, I do not have the details with me now. (Huh? You don't have my friend's details and you expect me to help you?)
LL : Ok.
G : Ms.Pang. May I ask if you are still single and available? (Huh? Getting puzzled. Why are you asking about my marital status?!)
LL: NOPE! (Without hesitant, I answered no)
G : Oh..it's ok then. Bye.

Oh man!! What a call. Even if I am single and available, I will not say YES!! I am not sure what this guy is trying to achieve and wondering if he is calling from a dating centre. It's just a guess. I am not sure which friend of mine then gave my office number away. Only close friends and family members would know. Hmm...

To my dear friends especially the ladies, beware of anonymous calls you received.
