Some benefits cards bear number for sex line, not balances

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Some holders of electronic benefits transfer cards find that dialing the phone number on the back of the cards gets them a sex line, not their balances.

A Maine Department of Health and Human Services spokesman tells the Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/29L9U2d ) that officials have been aware for months that the phone number on some cards is off by one digit.
