Texans swamped with calls after Justin Bieber's phone prank

According to authorities, pop superstar Justin Bieber sent out a tweet with two Texas phone numbers earlier this month with the message, "Call me right Now."

DALLAS - According to authorities, pop superstar Justin Bieber sent out a tweet with two Texas phone numbers earlier this month with the message, Call me right Now.

Excited young girls began calling, and weeks later they re still calling - leaving the frustrated citizens attached to the numbers seeking legal advice, and ultimately, compensation.

CBS DFW reports Bieber sent out the tweet late Wednesday night, March 7. He left a Dallas phone number, but the last digit was a question mark. Dedicated fans found at least two numbers that rang through.

In one voicemail, a girl said, Justin. I know you re there! Call me. I love you so much! I m sorry I called so late. But, I just got your number. I love you. I love you. I love you so much. Please call me back!

Twenty-one days after the incident, fans are still leaving messages declaring love for the young singer.

One of the people getting the calls, Kent, who doesn t want to use his last name, says he still gets calls at all hours.

Recently, I m even getting calls from India. They want Justin Bieber to come to India, he said.

His Dallas attorney, Emily Horton, is frustrated.

It s been difficult getting substantive response from the Bieber camp. We re a little puzzled as to why, she said. Horton hasn t ruled out a lawsuit.

Dilcie Fleming is the other Dallas resident still receiving calls, though hers have slowed thanks to a greeting she immediately recorded on her phone: This is NOT Justin Bieber s phone number. Please do NOT call again, it says.

Fleming says she doesn t want to sue Bieber. Instead, she just wants a letter of apology and concert tickets for her great granddaughter.

I ve got a great-granddaughter... she s in love with him, Fleming said with a chuckle.

Kent s attorney wants the Bieber camp to acknowledge the incident, help them slow the flow of calls and make sure it doesn t happen again.
