"That government is best which governs least" - Thoreau]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19561701 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:52:54 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19559240 robertg1234 : Oh no it was not "seized". It was handed over to Cisco like a hot potato! Most likey close to free. Once the 800# went viral and the sex-op got tons of calls with nobody signing up for their "service" and generating those 1 minute minimum bills (business rates are billed in 6 second increments -- the shortest "tick" a typical central office switch can record a time duration), that was all they wrote.

Once they checked their online useage against credit card billing, they either would have (1) disconnected the phone number or (2) call Cisco and say Lets Make A Deal :)

No seizure needed here. They drove straight to Tasman Drive in Santa Clara (CA) and waited in the lobby with the silver platter (RespOrg release form) on their lap!

...and probably the last week's usage bill saying "purdy pluheeze?!?"]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19559240 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 01:24:36 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557356 DotMac4 : As always...DSLR editorializing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557356 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:19:36 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557317 swintec :

They could have simply coughed up a bunch of cash to acquire (as in buy) it,
Thats true. On another note, I like how the front page story was changed from "seized" to "acquired". :hmm: Which is it?

Coincidence? Maybe not.

Also, it seems to me that it is good business for Cisco to take the blame for the phone number problem rather than hurt Circuit City or any other retail seller. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557311 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:13:46 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557246 DotMac4 : They could have simply coughed up a bunch of cash to acquire (as in buy) it,]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557246 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:06:09 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557135 swintec : Maybe.....but why cause another businesses customers unneeded grief? There customers should be connected without issue, at the number they know and have been dialing all along.

They took another legit businesses phone number due to there own mistake, or did I read that wrong???
Yup...that's surprising....and dare I saw under-handed on their part.
They could have had the phone company that is serving that number issue the sex line company a new number (ie: Just switch the sex line's number) and hang a message on the old number apologizing for the error and saying "Press 1 for Linksys" and "Press 2 for Sex Line" and upon a response redirect to the correct number. Alternately, the message can give the correct 2 numbers and say "Hit 1 to repeat the numbers. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19557119 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:46:44 EDT Re: Seized?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19556703 Damon85 : Seized or bought it from the company operating the hotline.
