There was a scam going around where they put up advertisements for certain items which sound like a good deal. When you call them you instantly get charged £30 ..yes £30 for the connection and then about 50p per minute..hope you havnt fallen foul of this

I belive the large conection charges cant be done these days, bu ive never seen a £30 one £2.50s the most ive known of,

but the 50p a mins still true and allowed!

tho the person doing that add is breaking the law

was it anad in fast ford mag mate?

they started using 070 mumbers to protect peoples personal info being givn out.

but no one rang them as they go charged (i dont know how much it is, but pretty sure its not 50p/min)

anyway, they have now reverted back to just printing peeps phone numbers lol

at the end of the day tho, if you were seriously interested in buying the car, you would ring regardless no?? (or do it from work )
