believes you have telephoned them to many times to complain?
well in Japan you get arrested! Akitoshi Okamoto, a 71-year-old man from Kasukabe City,
allegedly called the toll-free number of Japanese telecom giant KDDI, to complain about his phone not being able to pick up radio broadcasts, and
according to Japanese media sources, Okamoto at times called the KDDI support
number just to ask that representatives of the company “come and apologize for
violating our contract and for unfair business practices” Akitoshi Okamoto was
arrested last month and is currently under investigation, He has been charged
with obstruction of business, a Japanese crime generally defined as interfering with
someone’s ability to do regular business, the corporation had been reluctant to
press charges until last week, when the frequency of complaints became too much
to bear, how frequent? I hear you ask,
how about 24,000 times over the last two years, in the month of October alone,
Akitoshi Okamoto, is alleged to have called the toll-free number of Japanese
telecom giant KDDI 411 times in a single week, over the last two years, KDDI
registered around 24,000 calls from Okamoto, to save you doing the mathematics, works out to an average of
33 phone calls a day, so there you have it, complain too much and you will be
arrested.
