    Mobile phone Scams

    My mobile phones just had a whole week of abuse after I placed a for sale in LOOT.

    1st it was the car data people, 01592 777800, they wanted to sell em advertising space, then a free supplement. Grrr.

    Then missed calls from some foreign land, 00151169396, presumably I'll call back and listen to something at £5/minute.

    Lucky I have a spare pay as you go number for this kind of stuff.

    Spam, spam and more spam.


    Anyone getting similar?

    Quite fortunate i live on an island really, no phone scams really. Seems the UK has lots of scams for everything. Makes the whole of the UK seem degenerate, the people who do this make the UK look bad :/

    I live on an island too, lol.

    When you get telephones on Guernsey,I guess you might get Phone scams.

    Do you ever get telegrams scams?

    Sorry just some flippancy!

    Do you have free newspapers or LOOT there?

    Thats probably why one should use fleabay or something. I'd rather email spam, at leats I ca black it that way! People just have nothing better to do!
