A Texas man found himself in quite the situation Wednesday evening when his phone received almost 1,000 calls… and no it wasn’t a crazy ex-girlfriend. As it turns out, the blame can be put on Justin Bieber. The teenage heart-throb tweeted out the number which may or may not have been a mistake. More details after the jump…
The tweet said ‘call me right now’ and gave a number with a 214 area code – although the last digit was a question mark.
The tweet was deleted – but eagle-eyed followers had already spotted it and began re-tweeting it so it quickly spread.
Determined fans began guessing at the last digit – leaving a Dallas man with nearly 1,000 calls throughout the night and into Thursday.
Emily Horton, the man’s attorney, told CBS he started receiving the calls shortly after the tweet was sent out.
Horton said most of the callers were polite and messaged their friends to tell them the number did not belong to the singer.
The man, who has had the listed number for more than 20 years, uses it for business and personal calls, so does not want to change it.
‘He doesn’t want to cut off communication with people,’ Horton said. ‘He wishes there were some way to filter out the calls, but at this time, there is no way to do that.
