800 numbers

I don't know if I posted this or not but a few months ago we sent out a letter trying to attract new customers to our company. The letter was great - except for the fact that when I typed the 800 number I didn't realize it was an 877 number. The 800 version of the number directed you to call another sexually explicit phone number. Talk about mortifying. At least I am not the only one with this problem. I feel their pain. See the story below.

I actually find this kinda funny, altho I have a warped sense of humor. I wonder how many people stayed on the line and listened! HEHE...

Too funny!

not many i am sure...for $2.99 a minute, there better be something more than talking going on...lol

I remember when that happened at WaMu, you would get some calls that thought it was comical, and then you would get the little old lady that was absolutely mortified...haha...life is so much fun
