Police have arrested Takahiro Fujinuma, a Tokyo resident, for obstructing business, making approximately 2,600 prank calls to NTT’s directory service.
“I wanted to talk to women as I felt lonely,” Fujinuma was quoted as telling police. “Although the Dial Q2 telephone service costs money, the 104 directory service is free as long as you don’t ask for a telephone number, so I made calls again and again,” he said.
In the specific cases for which the suspect was arrested, Fujinuma made about 2,600 calls to the directory service provided by NTT Solco in Tokyo’s Minato-ku between June 1 and Nov. 17 last year. At one point, he made more than 200 calls a day.
Most of the calls made by Fujinuma were late in the night or in the early morning hours. He reportedly often spoke to operators in a sentimental tone, but often became angry, even shouting at them, when they tried to hang up.
Records show that Fujinuma made at least 9,133 calls between May 2006 and January this year. He had allegedly started to make the prank calls from around 2004, making over an estimated 10,000 calls in total, police said.

I got one for you:
Many years ago at a business I worked at, one of my coworkers was stealing customer credit card numbers so he could make phone sex calls. Some of those calls were even made while he was on the job. Management, tipped off by the complaints of the affected customers, busted him and not only confiscated his last paycheck as part of the restitution, but he also had to make up the rest in cash to my then employer or face being turned over to the cops. Some people are just pathetic.

I knew a guy that had to do something like that too. The restitution part…I don’t think they threatened to turn him over to the cops. And it was online porn, not phone sex. He had to keep coming into the office to meet with the higher ups, and we all knew why he was coming in. It was gruesome.
