strange phone calls

I bought a new Ranger in July from the local dealer and have had no problems with it. Yesterday there were two messages on my recorder when I got home - the first one was from "Hal Hanson" who said...

I ended up ordering a Rugged Cover tri-fold for $400, plus a rubber mat for $70. I'll be getting it next Monday. Not as good a deal as yours for $230 - is that one new? The Rugged Cover is guaranteed...
