![]() AUBURN, MA-March 13, 2003 — A man's phone bill has followed him to his grave. Click Here for More WPVI.com Bizarre News A local cemetery received a phone bill last week for David Towles at his correct address – Hillside Cemetery, Evergreen Section, Auburn, Mass. 01501. Towles was buried there in December 1997. He died at age 60. Cemetery Superintendent Wayne Bloomquist says he was surprised to see the Sprint bill for 12 cents, including 10 cents for a call placed on Feb. 16, five years after Towles died. "Our clients here don't usually get mail," he said. "I wondered if maybe we should start putting mailboxes on the monuments." A call to Sprint's automated service on March 6 showed that charges on the unpaid account had inflated Towles' bill to $3.95. The bill was turned over to interim Town Clerk Ellen Gaboury, who said she would hold on to it for a while. "I'll have to," she said. "Mr. Towles' credit could be affected if it remains unpaid." Imagine that?   [glow=green,2,300]Rugrat said that!!!![/glow] |

Yeah, it's greed allright but not surprising. I've also heard of scammers using dead people's information to vote in elections. Awhile back my sister and brother in law moved to a different district and registered in the new one. When the next election came along they found out that they had also voted in the old district. It sure wasn't them. Honesty is a rare thing today.
