From the Should Have Cut Their Losses File, this is one spectacular hit and run fail

:eek:

Did you create that after Disneyphile's earlier post of the same image (pre-Failblog), or was it just coincidence?

I hadn't seen her post. I didn't create it for fail blog, just saw it there. But I'm guessing the image must be make the interweb rounds today.

I'm not sure I see the failure. Especially if the two visible are actually the 3rd and 4th on the string.

That actually happened with one of our Medicare Advantage clients: they listed a particular number as an 800 number when it should have been an 866 number. Naturally, the 800 number was a phone sex line like the one in the article.

At first I thought you were responding SM's post and was thoroughly confused.

It is a rule that any incorrectly listed phone number will end up being a sex line of some sort. Happened to us with a phone number listed on a couple pages back at WaMu.

Which makes one wonder, exactly how many sex lines are out there?

Are they like domain squatters? Do they purchase large blocks of toll-free numbers and make money from wrong numbers and/or companies willing to purchase the number from them for one reason or another?

They may be. We have an 888 number that if you dial 800 instead, you get to hear naughty things.
