Premium Rate Phone Cards 2

Recently I was coming off the train at Blackheath station and lo and behold there were several people dishing out phonecards promising huge discounts and free minutes to unsuspecting passers by. Taking a closer look I could see that these were very similar if not the same phonecard as had previously rung up a gigantic phone bill.

It is astounding that these companies can carry on doing this to visitors to this country.

Dutch National Postcode Lottery

Wow! I have won the lottery again. This time in a different country without even entering.

If it wasn't for these emails I would not even know these lotteries existed. Apparantly they ask for a fee upfront for fake worthless certificate.

Whatever you do, do not send any money top these people.
