And Finally
Bieber could be sued over phone number prank
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 March 2012
Justin Bieber could be facing legal action over a Twitter prank that went a bit wrong.
The Biebster reportedly teased his fans by tweeting a phone number recently, with the call to action “call me right now”. It was a fake number, and didn’t even have enough digits.
But that didn’t stop his fans from inserting their own final digits, trying zero through nine in the desperate bid to make phone contact with their hero.
Which left ten land line owners really rather pissed off as a deluge of Bieber fans started swamping them with optimistic phone calls. And I’ve seen Bieber fans chatting on Twitter, they’re not the sorts of people you’d want to be taking wrong number calls from.
According to TMZ two of the affected phone line owners are now suing the popster claiming his behaviour was “reckless”. Bieber is yet to respond. I tried calling him on this number I got off the internet (I added the missing zero), but I just got some very rude people telling me to “fuck off”. He really ought to hire some new staff.
