They will never say that to anyone. They won't be providing date for such a thing.
You might be new to this DTH field but its more than 10 years we are in forums and such lies are often been played by members to gain attention.
No offence to you, but what you said doesn't seems true, even at firsr look. If possible provide any proof, of your chat or call recording. Else, accept you did it for some silly reason.
People emotions are attached with such news, so it is not acceptable to make such prank. Atleast i won't be allowing anything like that here.
