It turned out that there was no such service, according to the management.
Since this is untrue, I wonder how did the whole issue come about?
Did the reporter create something out of thin air? Is he or she trying to boost the sales of newspaper with controversial subject or out to make a name? Perhaps he or she heard it from somebody who heard from somebody.
Whatever the reason, reporting on something that is not verified is an irresponsible act, especially when one comes from a position of authority and trust. In this case, a local newspaper.
And I was foolish enough to fall into the trap.
