The Western New York area has been hammered by snow, and it has paralyzed the region. The storm has forced the NFL to move the Buffalo Bills’ game against the New York Jets to Detroit, with the intent of keeping the regions resources going to more pressing needs than a football game.

For those Buffalo fans who can not go to the game, the team is offering refunds. It is certainly honorable for them to do this, unfortunately they gave out the wrong number, one that is a domestic violence hotline instead.

From The Buffalo News:

"The Bills apparently mistakenly gave out an incorrect phone number for its ticket office. Information on the Bills Website instructs ticket holders to call 1-877-228-4357.But that’s actually the phone number for a domestic violence crisis center in Ohio, which has been receiving a barrage of calls from Bills fans.The center is asking people to stop calling the number because it needs to keep its lines open for people who need their services."

That is a horrible mistake for the Bills to make, thousands of fans calling a hotline ill-equipped to handle that amount of calls can tie up the lines. That would in turn prevent those needing to call the hotline from getting through.

The correct number is 1-877-228-4257.
