    Postal / Phone Scam.

    This was going around last year, but it looks like they are trying again. Just saw this on the Web.

    Spread the word Folks some poor souls will get caught by this one.
    Personally I think the Telephone Providers should be held accountable for allowing these high premium rates. If they set a cap at say £20.00 then although it would still happen, folk wouldn't get taken to the cleaners.

    Many thanks for posting this, Handy. It is not the sort of thing which would catch me out, but the more publicity it gets, the better.

        I will keep reposting on FB every few days. That way word should spread. Trouble is it's probably the Elderly and non IT users that will get caught out.
