LOS ANGELES, June 21 (UPI) -- A passenger in a California elevator was shocked when the emergency phone inside the elevator received a telemarketing call.

A video posted to YouTube by user EZdevelopment features footage from inside the elevator in Los Angeles' Encino neighborhood Monday.


The speaker for the emergency phone is making sounds that are easily recognizable as the recording from a telemarketing call that somehow came in to the emergency line.

"Just happened to me this morning. At first I thought I was stuck and some emergency crew was trying to talk to me, but when I heard what they were actually saying I could not believe my ears. There's no escaping these telemarketers!!!" the video's description reads.
