[Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 
Was this recorded message for real or just someone trying to get NTL a worse name than it has, Or then someone who has lost their job in the recent redundances getting their revenge?

Quote:

Quoted from the Sun
CALLERS reporting faults to phone giants NTL yesterday were greeted by a recorded message telling them to f*** off.

A gruff man with a strong Geordie accent made the foul-mouthed announcement.

He said: †œHello. You are through to NTL customer services. We donââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t give a f*** about you. We are never here.

†œWe just will f*** you about, basically, and we are not going to handle any of your complaints. Just f*** off and leave us alone. Get a life.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã‚Â
This was taken from here

The Sun also said that NTL considered it the work of external hackers. Come on now, fess up.

NTL was unavailable for comment late on Sunday but the Sun said the message had now been changed and an NTL spokesman had apologised for the matter.
I think he should be fired and fined for it.

well what a cockup typical of ntl at the moment customers can not get through to customer service and when they do you get this in your face.

I don't see what everyone is moaning about, if i rang a company and heard a message like that i would probably wet myself laughing!

Good on the person that did this :tu:
