[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

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.

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)

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.

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)

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
