Strange thing happened today...

    Strange thing happened today... My friend asked me to help him move his mobile number to Tesco Mobile. I rang customer care and gave them all required details.

    Few hours later my friend came to me and told me, his sim card is still active, although it shludn't be. He was also recieving text messages and calls from strangers. So I checked both cards (making calls all directions) and I was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED!

    Tesco Customer Care has mistyped my friend's mobile number and moved someone else's number instead. I didn't realise it's so easy to 'hack' someone's number... I'm afraid poor lady missed her train :/

    Some poor lost soul in trouble with catching a train, rang her mother only to be greeted by heavy breathing and fapping sounds.

    Me too!!
    I went to the fridge to get some Club Orange, only to find someone had drank it all. So then I went to the shop and got some more. And then I drank some. And I'm drinking some more right now.
    Crazy stuff altogether.
