Talk about an unlucky draw.
An Orlando, Fla., man says his life has been turned upside down since May 7, when T-Mobile reportedly assigned him the cellphone number formerly used by accused Florida murderer George Zimmerman.
It's the same mobile number Zimmerman gave police dispatchers during the notorious 911 call moments before he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin three months ago.
The 911 call (with Zimmerman heard spelling out the number) has since been widely circulated by the media and on the Internet.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Junior Alexander Guy, the man who inherited Zimmerman's old number, immediately started getting weird calls at all hours of the night.
"You murderer!"
"You deserve to die!"
Guy, who works at an Orlando wastewater plant, told the newspaper he got an estimated 70 threatening calls. He and his mother were forced to move out of their home.
"I was not only afraid for my life, I was afraid for my mother's," said Guy, a 49-year-old man who the newspaper reported has himself served prison time for drug trafficking.
By the ninth day, Guy said he'd had enough and turned the phone over to an attorney. His lawyer has reportedly been unsuccessful in seeking damages for his client, but T-Mobile did credit Guy's account and waived the early termination fee.

Don’t need new technology. We have caller ID. The caller’s number from every threat call is recorded on the man’s phone.
Italtics mine.
Moving out is insane.
It was a cellphone!
Tmobile. Hello!
Corey is the one making the calls.
Why isn’t somebody already taking a crack at Holder himself?
Because he is BLACK. I think the rule is you can’t go after two black men at once - Obama and Holder. That’s just the way it is, IMHO.

I think what have been really funny is to save all of those death threats and the dates/times they called, get a list of the phone numbers that called from the phone company, and then make a YouTube video with date, time, and phone number listed on each death threat played.
It could be a lot of fun!
The only one that we are sure of that has been making phone call threats is Corey herself. Maybe those phone numbers need to be checked.
I like the way you think Jack! I wonder if the people making death threats would try to sue then...
I don,t know why he would move out, how would they know where he lived if they did not even know who they were calling.
