You live in New York or happen to be visiting. You want to see a baseball game. After all, the Yankees are truly an iconic franchise. To get a chance to watch any version of the Bronx Bombers (even the aging and injured one that this season's group is) is a joy for any true baseball fan.
So you find this number. You don't know if it is old or new, but it says it is for Yankees tickets so you dial it up. Rather than ask you what section of the park you want to sit in the recording ask if you want a hot chick.
Search for "Yankees box office phone number" and you'll find this number-- 1-800-913-9793.
Call it and you'll get this message:
As funny as this is the explanation is very simple. The number is a few years old (2009 I believe). Since the Yankees quite using it the phone company has reassigned it. It just so happens that it got reassigned to a sex hot line.
Excuse me--a 'chat' line.
Things like this are not uncommon. Things like chat lines will look for numbers like this that were once heavily used in order to get some cheap traffic.
Heck, I used to have a credit card whose 1-800 number did not give me a card operator, but an operator who wanted my card number. Just like the former Yankees box office this number had turned ito a sex hotline.
So guys, if you want tickets to the game call 1-800-yankees.
Or if you want someone to 'talk' to you can call that other number...just be prepared to pay...

I did not notice until I looked at my receipt after tipping $7 on $35, and after the problem was fixed I tipped $5 on $23.50. Lo and behold, I check my credit card statement today and see that he took the liberty of adding an extra $2 onto his tip, conveniently the same tip that was for the wrongful $35 charge. sex chat
