MOSCOW (AFP) - An ingenious telephone service helping women in Moscow get rid of undesired suitors has become hugely popular.
"Hello. Welcome to the Moscow refusal service. The person who left you this telephone number does not want to speak to you. Goodbye," is what an increasing number of men are hearing when calling the number given to them by a Moscow beauty.
The "service" receives an average of 20 calls a minute, says founder Pavel Aladyshev, who works as a DJ in Moscow.
The 27-year-old says he recorded the message on the answering machine of an unused mobile phone after his female friends regularly complained about being harassed by zealous flirts into giving them a phone number.
The sucess of his "service," which now receives over 100,000 calls a month, came as a total surprise to the young DJ.
"The phone company almost went crazy!" he told the Russian daily Gazeta.
According to the daily, Aladyshev has already been offered contracts to place advertisements at the end of the message.
