  • ecrunner, on 06/20/2008, -7/+46ha! Nice dell.
    • robdiggity, on 06/21/2008, -0/+21Anybody else read Benjamin's chat with an Indian accent?
    • specialK16, on 06/21/2008, -3/+1Steven (from Philippines very likely) should be getting a new job by now.
    • ggbs, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3warning - the linked image crashes IE6
  • BrainRecall, on 06/20/2008, -2/+365Now that's what I call service.
  • AceGoober, on 06/20/2008, -20/+2LOL Good one.
  • baylat, on 06/21/2008, -14/+175I'm sorry, I feel dumb. Can someone enlighten me on why the difference of the two contact numbers are so huge when he said he transposed only 2 digits...?
    • mpcamer, on 06/21/2008, -46/+11-800-497-2661 is the one given.
      1-866-497-2661 is Dell Sales.

      ..I think.
    • redhitman, on 06/21/2008, -4/+111He said that he "transposed two numbers" not digits.. They were probably written right next to one another and he read the wrong number (obviously).
      • Nephersir7, on 06/21/2008, -1/+24Exactly, that's why it takes so long to get support....
      • dclowd9901, on 06/21/2008, -3/+17Okay, so then why were the numbers written write next to each other :O
      • DocHoliday22, on 06/21/2008, -4/+6Transposed two phone numbers? Hmmm.. This begs the question; why was there a sex-line phone number on the same sheet as the one he got it mixed-up with?
      • petard, on 06/21/2008, -4/+18Is it that hard to understand?
        Here is an example, these are two numbers right by each other
        1-800-123-4567
        1-800-765-4321

        the guy wrote 1-800-123 and then looked at the screen to make sure its right, then he goes down and sees 4321 and types it in. The number he typed to the person is now 1-800-123-4321 which is NEITHER of those two numbers.
      • adrames, on 06/22/2008, -1/+3Transpose usually means to switch out two letters or digits in one word/number. He should've said "mixed up" or just "gave you the wrong number." The fact that he had the number is still hilarious though.
    • SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/21/2008, -3/+89Well, technically he said to "numbers" which could mean two different phone numbers which he confused sexily together.
    • warispeace21, on 06/21/2008, -2/+40He's lying.
    • vvaduva, on 06/21/2008, -1/+24This could be an easy error to make and it is likely the support person is telling the truth. He read the two numbers and mixed up the exchange and last 4 digits together ending up with a new number that rings in a funky place. Funny outcome though.
      • EricSchC1, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3Dugg for "rings in a funky place."
    • chicagobiker, on 06/21/2008, -14/+5The Dell drone doesn't really understand English and just used a big fancy word that he doesn't know the meaning of.

      What he probably meant to say was he "combined" two numbers which were written together in a list he was reading and thus gave the prefix for one and the last four digits of another (which probably was above or below the first number in the listing).

      That or he copy and pasted the from the wrong window and we've all just seen what Dell support staff do when they're not chatting with customers!
    • BrianOl, on 06/21/2008, -1/+7Its a trap!
    • SatansSpatula, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2I was confused, too, for what it's worth...
    • megamod, on 06/21/2008, -2/+8I still don't believe it...the first and last number he gave have nothing in common for them to have been transposed:
      if he had begun with the number he handed out: 1-800-288-4410
      and transposed it with let's say 1-800-368-2314
      and ended up with 1-800-288-2314 or 1-800-368-4410 I would understand...but how did he get: "1-800-497-2661" from: "1-800-288-4410"
    • bonk2k, on 06/21/2008, -1/+1It means that he had a phone sex number already and when he went to give the guy the Dell number he accidentally looked at the number he calls to have hot nasty phone sex.
  • latova, on 06/21/2008, -3/+230If this goes front page he is so fired.
    • ep53, on 06/21/2008, -0/+27It did, but we will never know.....
      • terracottapai, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3He will have to be.. liquidated.
    • Dohko_Xar, on 06/21/2008, -0/+12done.
    • ligyron, on 06/21/2008, -1/+17Because we all know his supervisor at Dell reads digg.com regularly
    • PathDaemon, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5Fired.

      OK, not really… I wish I had the superpower to fire people working in support.
      • diblasio, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16THAT'S the super power that you'd chose?
        • PathDaemon, on 06/21/2008, -1/+3Not my first choice, but with it I could make the world a better place!
    • zomnker, on 06/21/2008, -2/+7My supervisor has seen this and I am still working.
      • Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3I'm pretty Sure this is the real Ben from the dell chat. The the dell chat was from Salt Lake City hence the SLC in the name. His profile says his name is Ben Zaharias from Salt Lake City, UT.
      • Sandboy76, on 06/21/2008, -1/+0Yeah that is him alright, lol good thing they didn't take him out and flog him for the mishap.
  • ghee, on 06/21/2008, -7/+183Transposed 2 numbers? Who is he fooling?
    • oxyco, on 06/21/2008, -4/+221 800 497 2661
      1 800 288 4410
      "sorry I transposed 2 numbers"
      Why does he have a sex phone line number in the list of his work phone numbers ?
  • Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -31/+368Easy Mistake:
    1-866-497-2661 = legitimate Dell number.
    1-800-497-2661 = phone sex

    I hope he doesn't lose his job over this.
    • SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/21/2008, -20/+104Where in there do you see an 866 number?

      I see 1-800-497-2661 and later 1-800-288-4410.
      • Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -2/+85Google 1-866-497-2261 and you will see it is a legitimate Dell tech support number. I'm assuming he made two errors: he gave him the number to the wrong department (tech support, when it should have been OWR) and he typed it in wrong. He later corrected both errors when he posted the 4410 number.
        • DemDude, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5You've got to pay respect to that phone sex company, they probably get lots and lots of money from people who have problems with their PCs. Brilliant idea to use that number
        • flangepiece, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1Heh. Well, I -was- calling up with a problem with my SATA drive but seeing as I'm here...
    • redhitman, on 06/21/2008, -15/+25Not quite...
      1-800-497-2661 = phone sex
      1-800-288-4410 = Dell OWR
      • Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -3/+33Google 1-866-497-2261 and you will see it is a legitimate Dell tech support number. I'm assuming he made two errors: he gave him the number to the wrong department (tech support, when it should have been OWR) and he typed it in wrong. He later corrected both errors when he posted the 4410 number.
        • FadieZ, on 06/21/2008, -4/+6You've got to pay respect to that phone sex company, they probably get lots and lots of money from people who have problems with their PCs. Brilliant idea to use that number
        • redhitman, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1Touche, my friend. You are correct.
        • colonelxc, on 06/22/2008, -1/+5*blinks* Deja vu?
        • DemDude, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1Oh you've got to be kidding me, FadieZ, you actually just copied my comment from the post above! You're a ***** *****!
        • FadieZ, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1^ lol...read harder, I was following a trend. Did you want me to mail you a letter?
    • jwensley2, on 06/21/2008, -0/+25You're right, he probably read the 1-800 from the right number then read the rest from a number below/above/beside it.

      Also, google 1-866-497-2661 for proof that it is a Dell phone number
    • Nephersir7, on 06/21/2008, -3/+1why would he?
    • frankverdi, on 06/21/2008, -0/+14I work at an enterprise management facility, all of our servers are Dell's. We call Dell all the time for support. We use the "1-866-497-2661" number, but I think b/c the phrase "800 number" has become such a cliche all of my co-workers and I have made this mistake (dialing 800 instead of of 866) at least once.
      • brkhobowriter, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, put the boss on next time.
    • megamod, on 06/21/2008, -1/+281. Set up phone sex line that is very similar to Dell Tech Support Number.
      2. ...
      3. PROFIT!!
      • colonelxc, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3I think step 2 is: talk sexily to people frustrated with their computers
  • paintballing66, on 06/21/2008, -19/+7I like how the guy said he tried calling twice. Sex chat the first time but what about try #2?....
    • GeorgeStone2, on 06/21/2008, -3/+18Hadn't finished.
    • itsthebrod, on 06/21/2008, -0/+14It's called "misdialing" and I'm sure most people would try again after reaching a phone sex line the first time, especially when the number was given by tech support.
  • googooly, on 06/21/2008, -3/+70HAHA I just Called this 1-800-497-2661 number. You gata hear what she says on other line
    • sleeknerve, on 06/21/2008, -5/+50i would rather not, it probably costs millions of dollars per second
      • googooly, on 06/21/2008, -0/+34its 1-800 number. just hears the first 5 sec then hang up. its free until you talk to someone live
        • brkhobowriter, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1You've had first hand experience?
        • rodrigorules, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3hes had experience with both hands
      • JoshuaH, on 06/21/2008, -4/+50Billions, probably..
        • brkhobowriter, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2Nah, it's how much Eliot Spitzer payed for "Kristen".
      • DemDude, on 06/21/2008, -0/+61Once, I accidentally dialed that number from my office, the whole company instantly went bankrupt because of it!
      • Reiben, on 06/21/2008, -6/+2You mean like the war in Iraq?
    • staffell, on 06/21/2008, -0/+78I bet you didn't call it for a laugh.
    • godfather2729, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7I do feel like taking a dive. How did they know?!
  • cuoops, on 06/21/2008, -6/+1oops!!
  • rubixcubez, on 06/21/2008, -12/+5they probably OWN the sex chat line... its a trap!
  • webkami, on 06/21/2008, -16/+231LOL: Dell *HARD*ware support....
    • supermansuper, on 06/21/2008, -18/+11Really? Are we still making puns about 'hardware' and 'software'? I thought that wore off sometime in the 90s...
    • Cyber_Akuma, on 06/21/2008, -3/+50[Insert joke about "hard"ware and "3 and a half inch floppy" here]
      • Scr4tchFury, on 06/21/2008, -3/+28I have a 3 1/2 inch floppy which I can turn into a 5 1/4 inch hard drive. Is that big enough, or do I need to upgrade?
        • TheSnuffster, on 06/21/2008, -1/+13I've got a 21 inch monitor, who's ya daddy!?
        • drakenlot, on 06/21/2008, -6/+1I have you beat, try a 25 inch LCD TV Monitor
        • LoveAndSeagulls, on 06/21/2008, -0/+23I have a penis.
        • etnuts, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3I have a 50 in LCD TV. will this work?
    • mrinsanity, on 06/21/2008, -1/+14.... I had intercourse with your motherboard
      • po43292, on 06/21/2008, -1/+17Yo motherboard so fat she goes to a resturant, looks at the menu and says "okay!"
        • Amadeus2490, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1Yo mama so fat 'cause she eat too much.

    • etnuts, on 06/21/2008, -1/+16I will RAM your Motherboard with my Hard Drive
    • gazzerh, on 06/21/2008, -6/+3how is this funny?
  • zdiddy85, on 06/21/2008, -23/+12I don't know why people are digging Alucard up. He has the wrong numbers.

    FTA the two numbers given are:

    1-800-497-2661 (sex line)
    1-800-288-4410 (dell line)

    I don't see a 1-866 number anywhere on this page.

    "Transposed 2 numbers?" No where near close, not even if you were shifted over a number on the keyboard.

    I think Alucard010 IS Benjamin from Dell, and he's trying to cover his ass! :P

    Sorry, I have an urge for conspiracy at the moment.
    • jwensley2, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10google 1-866-497-2661, it's listed in a dell pdf

      The rep probably read the first part from one number then the rest from a number below it or something
    • Zaetha, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5And I don't know why he's being dugg down. 1-866-497-2661 is an actual Dell Support line, the guy at Dell just gave him another completely different phone number the second time to avoid making the same mistake again.
    • Alucard010, on 06/21/2008, -0/+4I'm actually a part time dell tech while I'm going to school. I'm not Benjamin nor do I know him. But if you don't believe me, google 1-866-497-2661.
    • yacks, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3he transposed 2 digits as well as 2 numbers.. tis all..
    • threemagic, on 06/21/2008, -2/+2I think he meant he transposed TWO phone numbers.. he read the first part of one number and the second part of another.
    • stoikiometry, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1I think what's important is 866 to 800 isn't "transposing."
  • 2Deluxe, on 06/21/2008, -13/+30Hahaha. I love how he has Out of Warranty and Sex Line numbers right next to each other.

    I'm curios as to the diversity of the calls he fields...
    • Jeffler, on 06/21/2008, -1/+8Customer "Well, you're a ***** *****, you know that?"
      Him "GO ***** YOURSELF!"
      Customer "..." "......" "...got a number for that?"
  • Hamsterpotpies, on 06/21/2008, -16/+5Hanlon.kellogg@northwestern.edu???
    • bweltondav, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13I hope northwestern has good spam filters. It's NEVER a good idea to post an email address on a forum/comments board like that.
      • Olivaise, on 06/21/2008, -1/+3That's not the proper mailing address according to the university website, so he's in the clear.

        http://directory.northwestern.edu/?query=hanlon&x= ...
        (Last one listed.)
        • yacks, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1actually take a look again at the screenshot.. it does have the first part of his address as well.. "s%2dhan..." but i'm not going to type the rest now incase spammers are too stupid or lazy enough to figure that out..
        • sliggy, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3/life
  • Unr3a1, on 06/21/2008, -1/+31A google search for the number 1-866-497-2661 returns information about dell support, so yes that is the first number Benjamin was trying to give. A second search for the number 1-800-288-4410 returns information more related to expired warranty products from dell. Benjamin was going to give the first number but he must have found the second number to be more helpful so he gave Steven that. I think the only mystery left to solve is what kind of phone sex hotline uses a 1800 number.
    • Dabaum, on 06/21/2008, -3/+25Sounds like a job for the Hardly Boys!
    • belebih, on 06/21/2008, -0/+6"what kind of phone sex hotline uses a 1800 number"

      The ones that you pay for using a credit card or checking account instead of having charges put on your phone bill.
  • scarz99, on 06/21/2008, -16/+162Dugg for Firefox 3
    • arjung, on 06/21/2008, -15/+5yea, screenshotting wasn't such a good idea.

      his name is: Steve Hanlon
      his email address is: dhanlon.kellogg@northwestern.edu
    • Xocide, on 06/22/2008, -1/+1Firefox sucks.
      Digg me down if you hate me, I want you to!
  • yacks, on 06/21/2008, -2/+9lol.. well I do get phone calls to my cell phone for a pharmacy because people do not know how to dial the correct area code.. Boy I can have some real fun with that. "Your daughter's prescription of Levonorgestrel is ready.. opps.. I wasn't suppose to tell you that." *evil smile*
    • bartofdahammer, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2When we first got our cell-phone way back in the day, the number we had was originally for a tow-truck service. We used to get calls all the time with people looking for a tow-truck, even 2-3 years after we got the number.
    • goldfishey, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2my parents home phone was different by two digits reversed to a brothel. We used to get a lot of men calling, sounding slightly confused and then hanging up!

      It was months before we figured out what was going on. Eventually the brothel changed their number I think, because the calls stopped comming. ;)
    • belebih, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2Dugg for making me look up Levonorgestrel.

      Now I'm not sure if I should be sad or relieved that I didn't know what that was.
    • bxblox, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3I get phone calls to my cell from Delta airlines asking me if a plane is at the gate several times a week. I just stopped answering calls from numbers I didn't recognize eventually.
      • Sidicas, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3That's my secret code, so your wife knows when it's time to board my "plane".
      • yacks, on 06/22/2008, -0/+2mm.. sorry but the plane has been diverted to Alaska.
      • pbaehr, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1I think I would just always say "yes" until they learned there lesson and started dialing more carefully.
  • BigKopp, on 06/21/2008, -6/+1Ah, who hasn't been there?

    Oh, wait...
  • Mathieugothax, on 06/21/2008, -8/+1That's an hilarious story, things like that happens. Make me wonder what the Dell tech guy was up to before answering that man =P And what's the thing with the Transposed 2 numbers? There's way more than 2 numbers that are off.
    • bartofdahammer, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3Looked at 2 different phone numbers, dumb ass
  • happyponcho42, on 06/21/2008, -6/+33http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx ...
    still lists 1-800-288-4410 for on-site service, but it's definitely a sex hotline, just called.

    dell support got hacked?
    • chiptricky, on 06/21/2008, -4/+81-866 is the dell #. 800 the sex hotline. You made the same mistake as benjamin.
      • rhino_rampant, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10No...happyponcho is saying that DELL themselves have the number screwed up, too. Go to the website he posted and check for yourself (its at the bottom; and this also assuming that 1-800-288-4410 is a sexline as well).
      • DemDude, on 06/21/2008, -0/+6no, it really is wrong on the page, look at it!
    • Haax, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7No 1-800-288-4410 is the support number. You didn't call it if you're saying it's a sex line.

  • Xythoces, on 06/21/2008, -9/+0This is old.... I remember a story about something like this... I can't cite any sources atm... but I remember something like this happening one or two years ago...
    • AppleGeorge, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7I remember something happening once before too. I can't remember what it was, but I know it happened but I can't cite any source of it, other than that I know that something once happened but I'm not sure of when or what it was, but I do remember something happening once a year or two ago..
  • ShaunOlsen, on 06/21/2008, -7/+2That probably happens all the time.

    They probably even warn their staff about it as well.
  • Kevin108, on 06/21/2008, -6/+96How did he find a Dell rep that spoke English?
  • madmaniac85, on 06/21/2008, -1/+3i swear to god that happened to me too. when i called back the woman wasn't even very apologetic
  • Scr4tchFury, on 06/21/2008, -0/+24I've had that happen to me before. Circuit City’s repair number is 888-333-2333, but the woman on the phone told me 800-333-2333, which is a sex line. I wasn't looking for that kind of customer service.
  • hagfish70, on 06/21/2008, -1/+6I am surprised Dell hasn't changed this number... I work in IT and about 2 years ago my boss gave this number out to numerous employees, also transposing the number. Being somewhat conservative, he was pretty embarrassed when the said employees came back complaining about a sex chat service.
    • DeskFlyer, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1No matter what they change it to they would still have the same problem.
  • phyl0x, on 06/21/2008, -1/+11this happens all the time. I had a lady call back cause i "gave her a phone sex line", i really gave her Microsofts number...

    Microsoft: 1-800-642-7676
    Find Local Ladies: 1-800-842-7676
  • ubuntu710, on 06/21/2008, -1/+30by reading all the comments it seems like all the sex chat companies do this on purpose lol
    • godfather2729, on 06/21/2008, -1/+10I wonder how many people accidentally dial it, then say "well wtf, I've already dialed!" and pull out their credit card.
    • bobartig, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5Why are people surprised by this? It's like the ad-filled portal you hit when you misspell a domain name, like degg.com, or diig.com. Some people call it typosquatting.

      This is just the older dial-up equivalent.
  • InSectWar, on 06/21/2008, -9/+1Dude! You've got a Dell!
  • Nuggstein, on 06/21/2008, -10/+4What I don't understand is that no one is noticing that he didn't transpose two numbers...he gave a completely DIFFERENT number...
    • Netrilix, on 06/21/2008, -0/+101-800-288-4410 and 1-866-497-2661 are both legitimate Dell numbers. The support guy started reading the first one (1-800-) and then finished with the second one (497-2661).
      • threemagic, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7Thanks for being verbose and clearing it up for the non-thinking..

  • jf76, on 06/21/2008, -0/+6So he took the time to black out the Dell service code, but left his name and email in the URL? Not too smart
    • thelastdigger, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1shows that he really did it by mistake
    • thisissami, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1and on the side next to everything he wrote
  • PetroSan, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1I think he may have meant "number" as in a complete phone number when he said "I transposed two numbers"
  • Volfie99, on 06/21/2008, -5/+0Why is it whenever there's a posting like this, and I try to read it...there's always some annoying pop-up ad that prevents from reading the ***** thing??
    • akc123cheese, on 06/21/2008, -0/+0same with me
    • gannondork, on 06/21/2008, -1/+5why is that everytime someone complains about ads I don't know what they are talking about since I use Firefox with adblock plus.
      • imapluralist, on 06/21/2008, -0/+2ABP FTW!

        I love that diggers can't help but talk about ABP whenever someone mentions an ad.
      • Volfie99, on 06/22/2008, -0/+0I'm using Firefox, and have for years.
  • Ladymongoose, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10A long time ago when my dad worked for an electronics company, his personal company phone was extrememly similar to a gay mens' phone chat line (this was before the 1-800 numbers). My dad would get at least a couple of calls a day from gay men looking for a little sex chat. My father was/still is the biggest homophobe on the planet. He was seriously not amused, but we all thought it was the funniest thing ever when he told us.
  • Twinsonia, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3The K-12 support number is one number off from a phone sex chat number also.
    Real # - 1-888-977-3355
    Sex Chat # - 1-888-977-3555
  • AaronN322, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5did this once,
    1-800-477-4127 is the Sprint mail-in-Rebate department,
    1-800-447-4127 was a sex line.
    The sex line has gotten really tricky now though...when you call now they say press a number from your touch tone CELL phone and they will send you a txt of the new info, then they require you to say the word "yes" this opts you in and you get charged for the txt even if you dont call the number they txt you.
  • ubrikkean, on 06/21/2008, -1/+3OGC
  • ileftfark, on 06/21/2008, -2/+8Wait? Phone sex still exists? Is everyone aware of the Internet? I shudder to imagine what people did in the old days. Dot dot dash, my ass. Also, I now understand why they were called 'party lines'.
  • smrekar, on 06/21/2008, -1/+1not sure why this would be a phone number
    http://www.phonespell.org/combo.cgi?n=2884410

    1-800-at-ugh-10
  • TheSeekerV2, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3i'm surprised no one has gotten sued over giving out the wrong number
  • buky125, on 06/21/2008, -16/+10
