Why do we allow it?

I was recently informed that I'd 'won' a Med cruise.

I'd won the cruise alright, but not the food, drink, insurance or flights to get there.

Net result? My 'prize' was going to cost me £500 per person - plus £1.50/min to receive it!

This obvious lying has got to be stopped. And soon.

And the other comments were right. BT makes a decent percentage out of these calls, passing on the rest to the scammers.

'Handling stolen goods' the Police call it if it's your jeweller someone 'fences'.

'Business process' BT calls it when it's your hard-earned sheckles being passed around.

Talk about double-standards... ;-(
