A university student who bought a mobile phone found it "contained pornographic images of a female employee from a Cairns Dick Smith Electronics store where she had just bought the phone," reports The Cairns Post in Australia.
"It's sickening to think I've been using this phone near my face when it was used to take all of these photos," she said.
According to The Australian Daily Telegraph:
The images include a woman naked from the waist down lying on a bed performing a sex act, a man holding his penis and consecutive shots of the woman in her bra and pulling her pants down.
The store had sold the student an ex-demo phone (or "XXX-demo phone", as one wag put it). It's not unknown for staff to "borrow" demo phones over the weekend, according to some Cairns Post readers, who had an amusing time with the story. Sales In Brisbane comments:
I have worked for several mobile phone retail outlets. Trust me.. This happens all the time... Sales staff 'borrow' a phone for the weekend and forget to wipe the memory. I personally know of 4 instances when this exact thing has happend in a store I have worked in.
Another poster, Christine, comments:
I also worked for a mobile phone repair company, and we used to get replacement units back from manufacturers full of porn. These units werent checked by the techs before they were given out so I'm sure it happened more often than what we were told about - it was only old people or prudes who would complain about it!
Well, what would you do if it happened to you?
