Cutting straight to the point,
If you get a phone call saying that you have won some free prizes HANG UP straight away! This isn't a joke.
E-mails were being sent around to the Jaguar Car Plant all over the world, with the information of this call. I do not have that e-mail at home, but i will tell you about it as good as i can remember.
The phone will ring, as soon as you answer there will be a recording saying you have won some free stuff. (this might be different in different countries) you will then be promted to press "9" on your phone, for more information... Even though YOU got called, the moment you press that number "9" you will be connected to another recording which is charged at the rates of £20 PER MINUTE!. If you stay on the line for more than 4 minutes the rate will be increased to £50 PER MINUTE!. The only thing is, once you pressed the number "9" you will connected every time you make a phone call....
Now, the thing is, this is totally legal!!!!! Theres nothing you can do about it, because it has been estimated that lots of people have been receiving phone bills for over £700!!!!
I hope you read this warning before you receive that phone call....
i am not saying that this machine rings up EVERY person in the world, but if this machine does ring you, be sure to HANG UP!.
