Money: Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time...

Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time to look for it before work. This evening, my cell phone company calls me to tell me I have six hundred dollars worth of calls to El Salvador that I have to pay for. My cell phone was not misplaced, it was stolen. FML

Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML

Today, after having lost my phone three days ago, I paid a $150 non-refundable fee to have my phone replaced and mailed to me by Tuesday. A half hour later, I found my original phone. FML

Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML

Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML

Today, my cell phone was stolen. I work in a morgue. By myself. Obviously it wasn't stolen by any of those people. FML

Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML

Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

Today, after being upset at the fact that my phone was stolen at work, I received a note on my locker saying, "100 bucks and you get the phone back." My phone is being held for ransom. FML

Today, my cell phone service was interrupted because I owed the company 27 cents. It cost 36 dollars to reinstate my service. FML

This happened to me too. I called and reported it stolen immediately, but Verizon still billed me anyway. I had automatic billing so they billed my credit card. I called my credit card company and had them reverse the charge. Then I cancelled the credit card. Verizon sucks, they are still sending me annoying lawyer letters demanding that I pay them the $500 for calls to El Salvador. Hah. I will never pay.

Do not pay for those calls. The rates for cell phone usage are a huge cash cow for the carriers anyway. Just make sure you file a police report (as a protection for yourself against a charge of fraud). If they want to keep your business, they'll waive the charges, but you really do need to file the report. They *can* triangulate the location of nearly any cell phone nowadays. You just might catch the jerk who made those calls.

I used to work for a cell phone company, and I can GUARANTEE they would not have called you that day/week/month. For some ridiculous ******* reason, you are yet another person to make up a story for this website, which the mods have let turn into absolute garbage. Contrats.

Have you used to work for his cell phone company? No? Then shut the **** up. It's accusatory fuckballs like you that have turned this site into shit, not the mods. Way to ruin another post just because you think you know everything. Congrats.

Bullshit story.. if true people have done worse things to contact people. not a fml, just sucks.

Fight it. Obviously they noticed odd behavior if they bothered contacting you. They have things in place for people whose things get stolen. And if they refuse, call the BBB, call your credit card to fight for you, file a claim. Don't just fold over, that's how they make their money, from people who don't fight charges.

This is possible the worst FML I've ever heard.... It ended & I was like wait, where's the great comical funny punch line that's usually at the end of FML's? Then I realized there wasn't one. wow.
