A case of mistaken identity

I was in production support some time back and we were supporting Payroll in a large retail company.
I get this email one morning
Email from Archibald: I found a serious issue in a payroll function that I need to talk with you. Can we please talk about it tomorrow ?
Reply from Me: Sure Archibald. What is your number?
Next email from Archibald: 23437716
Reply from Me: Is that 208 (Boise) or 602 (Phoenix) or 801 (Salt Lake City)?
Archibald: Thats 080 - Bangalore
Me (Thinking...): Ahhhh...offshore....shucks. Name sounded like a client fellow
Reply from Me: Archibald, can we talk about it next week? Guess it can wait.
