Verizon Tech Accused Of Making $220K In Sex Calls On User Lines

Joseph Vaccarelli, a former Verizon Technician, has been charged with racking up $220,000 in phone-sex calls by tapping into the land lines of nearly 950 customers. Authorities say that he made approximately 5,000 calls, resulting in 45,000 minutes of call time. Verizon estimated that out of a 40-week period, Vaccarelli spent 15 weeks talking on sex lines. How in the world do you have this much phone sex, period, but especially at work, and not have anyone notice?

    He *isn't* spelling out his punctuation.

    "period (mostly North America) And nothing else; and nothing less; used for emphasis."

    Please don't try and grammar/spelling/etc nazi without engaging brain, it makes you look silly.

    This guy wasn't after 45,000 minutes of phone sex. Don't be surprised if soon a follow-up article appears explaining he actually operated some of those lines himself, or is in another way affiliated.
