SMS Spam (General)
latest - I accidentally signed up to something called Talenttext. I received an email about getting auditions for parts, which I was fairly interested in. So I clicked on the website and it required me to confirm my Mobile number to sign up, which I did. But now they keep sending me premium SMSs which cost �1 per text for me, which I never really signed up for as they didn't say this was going to happen o..

""Ben"" phone scam
latest - This one was clever. Had half a message left on my answephone from a ""Ben"" - it cut in half way through the number then repeated it. (This was on my home phone, even though I am with the TPS). As I am self employed, I called back using my mobile as I thought it was a mobile number I was calling and it might be a customer. Even the message was convincing -"" Hi this is Bens phone, very busy righ..

"...urgent message waiting for you"
latest - The 08 number itself is simply a national rate number - about 10p a minute, but not technically premium rate, although it does earn about 2p a minute for the owner. However, it's a recorded message which tells you to call a premium rate line, and there's about a minutes silence at the end of the message before it tells you the charges. I strongly suspect this would be in breach of ICSTIS regs

"Happy Mechanics" loses me money!
latest - Well, we had our meeting with Happy Mechanics - no resolution. We gave them every detail of what has happened so far, and all the evidence but they still refused to accept they had got it so badly wrong! They offered us �500 to take down our complaints - nowhere near what has been lost - and threatened us with legal action if we continue to complain. Naturally, we declined!

0704 Numbers Beware!!!!
latest - Re "Re: 0704 Numbers Beware!!!!" posted by Guest at 16:48 26/01/05 ...
Do I understand this correctly? The owner of the 0704 has essentially 3 redirects in place, and you pay for calling wherever they are? Even if one of the numbers is a mobile in Bolivia or satellite phone? And you don't even know it? I mean, if I get a redirect on my mobile, you pay to call my mobile and I pay for redirect c..

1&1 Internet Ltd - what terrible servce.
latest - [b:f2c5dcf05b]Hi, Please read this.[/b:f2c5dcf05b]
I have somehow received a free trial from 1&1. It may have been triggered from a sales call from the USA. It resulted in an e-mail welcoming me to a free trial. The e-mail ended up unbeknown to me in my Spam Folder. And there it stayed. I am now being charged �70.00 per quarter for a service I did not ask for. I only became aware of this ..

[i:65c64448b8]It should be noted that accents differ greatly, on this small island we call 'Britain', and hence that certain people - mentioning those from no areas in particular *coughs*Scotland*coughs* - should be extra patient, given the difference between the dialect accustomed to by the 118 118 worker, and themselves. Overall, I'd say ..

We took out the contract in London where the key was fairly slow but did work. I
asked the 3 rep prior to signing up for the service that I would be moving to Hove in a few weeks. He said that this would work which confirmed what the coverage checker on the website said. On the day I arrive in Hove it turn..

The above message was received TWICE within 5 minutes on 4 Orange handsets all arriving over last weekend. The number shown is invalid, and it does NOT appear to be a premium rate, simply a spoofed number. Quite what the point of the message is eludes me.

Access the SCC via the internet. go to 'the Lord Chancellor's' website and follow the links. But beware don't try pulling a fast one!!
