Looking for plates, but got sex line

Newark, NJ

New Jersey motorists callng a toll-free number seeking handicapped or animal-friendly license plates are getting a little more action than they expected. Instead of getting the state Motor Vehicle Commission, callers reached a phone sex operation. The mix-up happened because the MVC has the newer 888 toll-free area code, but its number was mistakenly listed with the traditional 800 code on the Web site and printed material distributed by the state Division of Disability Services. The Web Site has been corrected, but thousands have received the printed material, the Star Ledger of Newark reported yesterday.
