PLYMOUTH, England, July 16 (UPI) -- A woman in Plymouth, Britain, has been having phone troubles since she changed her service provider and started getting calls meant for a sex line.
Rachel Collick recently changed her telephone service provider to Virgin Media and immediately began receiving at least six calls a day from men asking for "the young nympho," the Sun reported Monday.
"It started almost immediately. It's always men and after I say hello they say something about talking to the nymphomaniac. I presume they expect me to talk dirty," said the 34-year-old mother of three. "Instead, I point out it's a wrong number and they get flustered. One said, 'Oh sorry' and hung up. The funny thing is the line's with Virgin, yet these callers think I'm anything but!"
"Sometimes the kids answered when these men rang," she said
Virgin offered Collick a new number, but she said does not want to have to change it again.
