I just got a really strange phone call. Was it an attempt at something illegal? (more details inside)

This is what they said:
“Hi, I’m sorry to bother you. I’m calling long distance, trying to get in touch with your neighbor, Mary Smith [different from who they were actually looking for]. Do you know her?”
I didn’t recognize the name, so I said we didn’t know any of our neighbors.
They obviously were discouraged, so I asked if they had any other information, that might at least tell me which house they were interested in. She gave a house number that I recognized as being one or 2 houses down the road. But I couldn’t help her.
But I just thought…What if it had been fake? Couldn’t they have been able to use information for something not exactly right? Is this a known scam?
