A man from Turkey's Black Sea province of Ordu lodged a complaint against the producer of a TV series aired in Morocco after his cell phone number was displayed during a scene.

In one of the episodes of the series «Yemin» (Al Waâd), which means «The promise», a female character, Cemre, calls a number which is displayed on the screen and which belongs, «in real life», to Erol D. Shortly after the episode aired, a fan of the series in Morocco took a screenshot of the scene and posted it on social media.

The incident is said to have sparked a volley of «inappropriate» calls and messages from viewers and fans, Hurriyet Daily News explains.

«People have been calling from Morocco at odd hours and disturbing him. He has lost all his peace at home», he said. «I did not know anything about the TV series. After the messages and the improper photos that bombarded my phone, there came problems between my wife and me», said Erol D.

His lawyer added that his client «has lost all peace of mind at home» and that it has «become difficult for Erol D to use his phone because of indecent messages and calls».

«Yemin», currently airing on 2M, is a series that has been aired in Turkey since February 2019.
