Can you hear me now, Miss Whiplash?

THE PHONE JACKER HAS been identified as one Joseph Vaccarelli – the man who will become famous for lasting a lengthy 45,000 minutes during dial-a-diddle calls.

The Verizon employee is said to have jacked, ahem, hacked into 950 customer's landlines in order to make the huge amount of calls.

The hands-free technician racked up an incredible $220,000 in calls to approximately 5,000 'specialist' premium numbers.

According to Bergen County Prosecutor John L Molinelli, Vaccarelli made the calls in about 30 municipalities in Bergen County.

Verizon estimated that over a 40-week period, Vaccerelli spent 15 weeks 'talking' on chat lines – and for a 45 year old that’s pretty good going.

Vaccarelli was charged on Tuesday with theft by deception and theft of services… the scandal continues. µ

Maybe he diverted the calls to a line he owned,

thereby pocketing the profit of $220,000?

da problem wit youts

oh dear, remedial math or fantasy five?

45000 minutes = 31.25 days
40 weeks = 280 days
therefore,
31.25 days = 2hrs 40min per day = 11% "hobby" dedication

obviously, verizon or emma is engaged in j*cking up Q3 numbers...
