A misprint for a toll-free sheriff's phone hotline mistakenly sent Central Florida retirees to a sex-talk hotline, according to a Local 6 News report.

The error was found in a new telephone directory in The Villages community in Marion County, Fla.

The number, which is listed as the non-emergency Marion County Sheriff's phone number is actually for phone sex, Local 6 News reported.

The correct phone number is (888) 440-0347.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

I'd check the phone bills & computer of whomever verified the number to the Phone Company.

I have a friend of mine that does this as a joke all the time. You can't ask him for any phone numbers...you never know what you'll get.
