POSSIBLE MOB CONNECTION?

Today I got a call from the number above,and they asked for, let's call him "Fred" (real name changed to protect the innocent). I replied that there was no Fred here and they must have the wrong number. The person on the other line, who later identified himself as Mr. Antonucci, asked if I knew a "Fred" and then gave his last name, we will say it is "Smith." I said that I did know a "Fred Smith." He asked if I was related and I told him not really. I told him the "relation" I had (my in-law's spouse's sibling). Mr. Antonucci asked me if I was in touch with "Fred" and I told him no. Mr. Antonucci asked if I had any way to get ahold of him. He told me that my number was listed as a work number. I told him that I might be able to get a message to him. I put the phone down and came upstairs to get a pen and paper. I asked Mr. Antonucci how he knew "Fred." He told me it was a business deal. I took down his number 888-899-5861 ex. 4558. This is when he identified himself as Mr. Antonucci. I asked him what this was regarding and he said that "Fred" would know when he heard his name, and that they had spoken before.

I then called the in-law and asked if the said in-law had a spouse named "Fred." The in-law said yes, and I proceeded to tell this in-law the story. This person thought it was as random as I did and said that there was probably more than one "Fred Smith." I agreed, gave this in-law the number that was given to me, and then hung up.

I googled the number that I received the call from and got this site. Then I googled the number that Mr. Antonucci gave me and I got this site. Not mob connections, but close enough - DEBT COLLECTORS.

I am still baffled as to how we got connected to this.
