In my opinion, the service providers should be held to account for these scams.
We need some legislation in this country to prevent any “Tom D*ck or Harry” from buying a premium rate number to generate an income for whatever purpose. BT and any other service providers should not be allowed to sell these systems without vetting the companies who buy them.
Only yesterday I complained to BT (as I get great pleasure in complaining to these corporations on a regular basis 😉 ) about unwanted faxes and emails I was receiving. I asked for a facility to reject incoming calls with numbers withheld…I was told they can provide this if I wanted it …but… there would be a quarterly charge for the service!!!!
B*astards (I thought) – sell premium rate numbers and also sell a facilty to reject calls from the B*astards that buy them. (Yup – that’s another lucrative business 🙄 ).
It’s about time BT was re- nationalised to go back to providing a service in the best interests of the population of GB. and all of their (so called) competitors should be put out of business
OKay .. rant over (I can’t help myelf) 😳
