No premium rate number costs more than £1.50 per minute.

Snopes

 

I'd do this but make the number to report the scam premium rate

 

If you get a mail asking you to forward it to everybody you know, it's almost certainly bogus. If you're still not sure try hoax slayer or snopes

 

Most of the traffic on the internet is forwarded ****e like this.

 

Thanks peeps
Trying to help thats all.

 

you send another hoax around without checking first or using the search engine and I will restrict my ST humour threads !!!!

 

Sorry Swiss. I was honestly trying, maybe a little too hard.
I shall therefore use my noddle in future.
