UK supermarket chain Tesco has apologised to a 14-year-old boy after returning his repaired mobile phone packed with hard-core porn, UK tabloid the Sun reports.
Callum George's new Sagem clapped out after just two weeks, prompting the lad to return it for repair. It duly found its way back to him in the post, complete with letter "explaining a faulty circuit had been replaced", as Callum's mum Cathy put it to the paper.
A shocked Cathy continues: "But there were voicemail messages and numbers that Callum did not recognise. Then he found the pictures and video clips."
The pics and vids in question were of couples having sex and, unsurprisingly, Callum's dad Allen was reported as "fuming". The boy's parents called in the police who referred them to Tradings Standards.
The Tesco store responsible for the outrage - in Newport, South Wales - has, as well as issuing the apology, confirmed that the repair centre in question has started an investigation into the sorry affair.[/q]
I'm guessing Callum wasn't too gutted with his returned phone.....

Big Question: Why the **** did he tell his folks?
-
Credit.
He'll now find it slightly easier to get away with his own enterprises, because his parents are more inclined to trust him as a responsible adult for this act of honesty.
-
He's probably already copied all the smut onto his mates' phones. For a small fee, of course.
-
Or the hardcore porn was his and when he was caught he blamed it on those crafty repair technician guys :)
EDIT : I've been thinking about this one. Hmmmmmm. *Hits cellphone with hammer.*
What was that repair center's address again?
