That sounds pretty strange. My first guess is that the person ghosted you and didn't want to admit it, so he's gaslighting you by saying you'd spoken. It's a weird thing to gaslight someone over. A call where you get rejected for a job is something that someone would remember.

Ooofh.. maybe because called are recorded for their end. The recruiter at best can claim a "missed recording" but definitely doesn't want to admit it's never happened ... Or he's like me.. thinks he's sent the message but it's sat in the draft still lol
HR rep os probably thinking of another candidate, conflating the two, or is flat out lying to save face after forgetting to reach out. We are all human, thos stuff happens, and you didn't lose out on a job because of it so there isn't really anything to do but move on.

That's also true ... A name mixup maybe?

I would trust your instinct here. If a call did not happen, that response feels sloppy at best. I have learned that unclear communication early often reflects how the company operates later.
