Default Jinx phone number suspended

Could be jinx, but it's a strange number, no question about it!

I'm more interested to know how the number always seemed to end up in the hands of some kind of top-level mobster...

One died of cancer, the others were gunned down criminals. Don't need jinxed phone number to explain that.

It was obviously a highly regarded number and as such came at a price only someone with enourmous wealth would be prepared to pay for......just like extremely rare number plates for cars.

See that proves it right there. No other reason to be on the recieving end other than the phone

Got to love the daily fail.
