OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma highway users wishing to call the state about electronic payment passes were mistakenly directed to a sex hotline.

Oklahoma Transportation Authority spokeswoman Brigette Berglan said the state's turnpike authority had made an error in a letter sent to 41,000 people. One digit was wrong in the telephone number for callers seeking advice on how to deal with toll gate payments.

Instead, they found themselves calling a sex line where they could speak with "exciting people," such as lonely housewives, students and fantasy girls for $2.99 a minute.

"We're not that exciting here at the authority. We prefer to think of ourselves as helpful," Berglan said.

Those who received the incorrect notice were sent a postcard with the correct number.

The last computer I bought came with this binder, very nicely to keep everthing organized. Anyhow on the binder and the manual inside the binder was a 1-800 number for calling tech support. They sent an addnedum with it not to call that number....of course I had to call it and sure enough it was a sex line.

You'd think they would have gotten stickers and covered up or something.

So when they took my toll gate payment that was a bad thing?

Maybe they didn't like what you were wearing.

If it is any consolation, they can lock mine and unlock yours.

When I was working for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Oregon, we heard about an incident occurring on the East coast. A man was hired as a temporary computer operator. They apparently liked his work and offered him a permanent position. But, before he was given permanent status, management "changed its mind" and let the man go at the end of his temp assignment. Each month, premium past-due notices were sent out to employers when needed. They read, "Your premium is past-due. Claims filed by your employees will not be processed until your payment is received." They printed and mailed out the notices ... and began to get several angry calls because the notices they received read, "Your premium is past-due. Claims filed by your employees will not be processed until Hell freezes over." They traced the origin of this change back to the temp. (end threadjack)
