Hi all, I thought I'd share this with you as it's the use of the media (National newspaper) to create awareness of my web design company and a bit of a laugh...

Confused Winz beneficiaries dial 0800 wrong number - Business - NZ Herald News

Cheers - Toby

    I hope you are sending them the bill for those calls - or whoever is responsible for those customers having your number instead of the right one.

    That is hilarious. "Oh, we screwed up? Perhaps you should change your phone number."

    Government is as government does.

      Yeah, TYPICAL isn't it!?!?!? WE can't change a few DOMESTIC numbers to people we KNOW, so maybe YOU want to change potentially BILLIONS to people you DON'T know! I mean you could have had a flyer in a store that was copied down, sent to another country, and a person that saw it might have told a friend that told another. NOW, HOW do you tell those people?

      An OLD customer may not give you a second thought, clean out his office one day, and buy from you!

      Gee, I would be tempted to say "OK, then can you pay me a few trillion so I can run an international advertising blitz for a couple months? I can't miss ANYONE because if I miss just ONE person, THAT could have been the person that one day would have made me rich, etc.... And let's not forget a one minute spot on the superbowl!

      Aw heck, if they paid me a few trillion, I would probably retire.
