This is the weirdest thing. How did it happen?

My boyfriend was just in NYC visiting friends. He called one friend's mother, and got her answering machine. This machine has a screen showing the name and/or number of who called. The name that was displayed when he left a message was the P****** Family Trust ( I hid my last name there). How could his name and cell phone number be associated with my family trust? He's not on our trust. This seems so bizarre to us! Any thoughts?
Thanks

do you pay for his phone? or is it somehow linked up to your phone?

are the friends he was visiting in the trust?

is there a spirit involved in this trust that could be manipulating the display?

questions, questions, questions.....

That include people whose bills might be paid by the trust?
