Zynga Puts Random Stranger In Customer Support Role 158
An anonymous reader writes "A server error has meant that for the past few months, a man not associated in any way with social gaming powerhouse Zynga has been getting customer support emails. When Zynga failed to return his messages, he started replying to the customers himself. Hilariously." Sadly (though perhaps some of his correspondents would disagree), the glitch has now been fixed.

Instead, it belonged to Eric Mueller, who owns the domain themepark.com, which he uses for his web design firm.
Given Zynga's code of ethics (or lack thereof), I would wager this e-mail found its way into "their" product by way of their mission statement [slashdot.org] which probably transcends game ideas into directly taking web designs that are, by definition, available to anyone with an HTTP connection. Stay classy, Zynga.

But was the hotel advertising the wrong number? If not, there's really not much they can do. Sure the hotel could change their number, but that would be a lot more hassle than you may suspect. They'd have to reprint business cards. They'd have to reprint advertisements, which could get expensive.
Not only that, but no matter what number they choose, it's going to be close to someone else's number.
