nellie2 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I don't know which phone company they were with but they should have got some advice because as I understand it BT have been quite good over all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman123 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Although BT recognise there is a problem with dialers they still say it's not there fault and you still have to pay the bill ........ :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 It's about time something was done, but at least I am not affected being on broad band. Some years ago there was another scam. You received a phone call and was told that your line was being tested. You were asked to dial if my memory serves me 90# and replace the receiver. Somehow your line was then available for them to dial any where in the world at your expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
