'Lovelorn' woman hooks man by phone
( 2003-09-10 12:28) (China Daily)
A man got tricked - twice -
into calling a woman working for an expensive telephone chat service, reports
Beijing Star Daily.
Wu was woken up early last Friday when his telephone rang. A young woman
began speaking, saying she was a lovelorn girl looking for someone to talk to.
Although still groggy from sleep, Wu did not hang up for fear that the
depressed-sounding girl might attempt suicide. When the girl asked him to call
her back because she was at a public telephone, he did. The call lasted more
than half an hour.
The girl later call him again, once more asking him to call her back. This
time the conversation went on for an hour.
Wu eventually realized that the girl was working for a telephone service,
which charged 30 times the rate for a normal call.
