AP story is one of the stranger tales I've seen this week. Apparently a woman sent Comcast a check made out for "My Right Arm and Zero Dollars," as a joke protest against high prices (she'd already paid online), and then got more than she bargained for. She's now suing Comcast after someone at the cable company photocopied her check and circulated it around the Internet. A quick Google search finds the woman's full story in the comment section of the
Comcast Must Die website:
About 2 weeks later, i was out of town visiting family when my husband calls from home telling me that he just recieved a strange phone call from a woman in Colorado. We live in Pennsylvania. She just received an email that said "This is too funny not to pass on. This is an actual payment we received via yesterdays mail." And attached was a copy of my personal check with my name, my address, my phone number, My account numbers, my signature... nothing was blacked out...Nothing! And a copy of my Comcast statement.
The woman did get credited for three months of service, and has retained her right arm.
Update Comcast spokesperson Jenni Moyer stops by our
comment section to say this:
This is Jenni Moyer with Comcast, and I wanted to share some additional information about this. We have apologized to the customer and worked with her to address her concerns. We take our customers' privacy very seriously, and the people who were involved in this are no longer with Comcast.
