3,000 text messages later – man realizes his cell-phone number was used in a television drama
This guy may be a bit slow on the uptake.
After receiving some 3,000 text messages, the man began to think something was wrong.
He eventually found out that his mobile phone number was used in a police TV drama.
The bad guy rambled his phone number, slowly so the listener could write it down, aloud on-screen. Soon after, Chen of China started receiving a stream of text
messages.
The drama ran from 2004-06 and then on DVD.
The production company said they made the number up from an employee's birthday…who, btw, did NOT get a stream of birthday cards or presents.
No one thought to check if it were a real number or not.
The courts did, however. The Runshi Rongguang Film Production Co. was ordered to pay 2,000 yuan to the customer…that's about 8.5cents per text message that he had to delete.
Wow! I bet he feels better now.
