Chen, 39, says he started receiving a stream of text messages in July 2004.
“It was so annoying, and for a long time I wondered why I was getting all these text messages,” he said.
Chen discovered that his number had been used in a TV series called “Chinese Police — September Storm,” broadcast between 2004-06 and later released on DVD. A villain spoke the number slowly, to allow another character to write it down.
The company said it made up the number from a staff member’s birthday and did not mean to cause trouble, according to Xinhua.
- as the BBC so aptly put it, “It is not immediately clear whether or not Mr Chen has now decided to change his phone number.”
