This has to suck if you’re Verizon.
According to this report, a former horny tech of theirs racked up $220,000 in phone-sex calls by tapping into the land lines of nearly 950 customers. Joseph Vaccarelli, 45, used Verizon subscriber accounts to make 5,000 calls to 1-900 chat lines, racking up 45,000 minutes of call time over a forty week span. Now he’s being charged with two second-degree crimes, carrying maximum prison terms of 10 years each.
Needless to say, Verizon isn’t happy:
“We’re saddened and, frankly, stunned that any Verizon employee would allegedly engage in this sort of behavior,”
Seeing as this guy is looking at 20 years, I hope the phone sex was worth it.
