A young woman in Wuhan of Hubei Province has been troubled by numerous amatory messages and cellphone calls because a local matrimonial agency mistakenly left her number on advertisements, Wuhan Evening News reports.

Liu, 20, received more than 40 calls asking for a date in the past three days. She was also puzzled by text messages of a similar nature on her cellphone.

Upon investigation, she found the calls and messages were the result of a mistake made by a local matrimonial agency. Liu tried to sort out the problem with the agency because of the disturbance to her routine, but she was only offered 50 yuan (US$6) as compensation.

Liu has decided to take the agency to court.
