friends wants me to be his reference

A friend of mine wants to use my number and put it as his supervisor for some background check. We are really close and he's helped me in the past so i'm inclined to do it but what will happen when the background check company calls me?

They'll call and ask 1) dates and 2) job title and 3) how you are related professionally

They might also ask about how/why he left.

 
Simple As...Does your friend work in latex for Vandalay Industries?

YOURE SUPPOSED TO SAY VANDELAY INDUSTRIES!

 

I did this for a friend of mine, but I told the truth and said we were peers. I then went on to say how awesome he was.
