Domino's Worker Uses Customer's Debit Card For Phone Sex While Still Making Pizzas
You might not think that when you call up your local Domino’s to order a pizza with your credit/debit card, that the employee you just gave your sensitive information to is going to brazenly turn around and rack up $296 in phone sex charges only minutes later. Or that they’d be so stupid to use the restaurant’s phone to make the call. Alas, that’s exactly what a woman in Kentucky claims happened to her.
A couple days after ordering her pizza from the Domino’s in Valley Station, KY, a woman was stunned to find the $296 charge on her account for a company she’d never heard of. Calling the number on her card statement, she discovered the icky truth: “It ended up being charged to a sex line.”
The costly call was placed a mere 15 minutes after she’d placed her order at Domino’s. And after talking to a disbelieving manager and being brushed off by a Domino’s VP, she got some help from the phone sex company. They confirmed that the number the call had been placed from belonged to the pizza place in question.
“So while this was going on, the sex line phone call, they are making food for people,” she said after making this discovery. “Very gross.”
It was at this point that the Domino’s executive changed his tune from doubtful to downright sorry:
We can’t apologize enough… I know that’s probably not good enough.
Our entire brand is being damaged by the actions of one idiot. We want to see them brought to justice.
It sickens me that this happened… And it troubles me that the sequence of events made us look like we are tripping all over ourselves. We can’t emphasize enough how sorry we are. We are horrified by this and we want to know who did it.
We’re happy to say that the phone sex company has agreed to refund the women’s money and say they are willing to turn over all records and recordings of the call to authorities.
