actually just thought of something I should post, mainly for the guys.
I was chatting to a lady on here for days. Eventually swapped KIK id's and chatted, then she gave me her number.
Called her a few times, general chat about meeting etc. She seemed lovely.
Mobile number started 0706....got suspicious during a chat and checked it out. Scam premium rate number.
Just wanted to warn people as this was something that took days to set up, not the usual hi, call me approach. |

"Was going to as soon as I discovered it was a cam, but they'd already left. I assume they gathered a few people to chat to on KIK and then removed the profile."
If you send all the details you can remember including the kik ID to Admin from the CONTACT button they can do their thing. |

Just googled this number.
Apparently someone was scammed£30+ a minute
Not sure if that's true, but it's definitely a well known scammers number judging by the amount of feedback on it. |

There's a scam where you get a card through the door saying you have a parcel and you have to call a number to arrange a new delivery. High rate number charges ridiculous amounts of money.

That's interesting, I just spotted a profileWhere lady managed to get 7 veris in the 21 hours since opening the account.
Either very impressive or a bit suspicious ? They all seemed to be done via cam? |

Well I'm hoping it's not too massive an amount..I can come up with an excuse and say it was a support thing without a contract, i.e. they charge by the minute..or something else like that lol.
Just didn't want anyone else to get caught out as it happened on here. |

If you got a monthly cap on your mobile, you cant be charged more than lets say 18£ on your allowance, depending on your contract, its a good thing to have. |

ok people. This was just a friendly post to warn people about a potential scam. Let's not get in to whether or not people using work mobiles is ethical or not. Plenty of worse things done by people at work, and in the world. |

Ring your service provider tell them your 12 ur old kid dialled a number from the net
Ask them why the hell they allowed your kid to dial premium rate numbers in first place
Full refund problem solved
Paula has been caught 3 times now by cons on net last text was &30. To look at porn
Each time full refund |

I think the point is that premium rate numbers are often blocked by default to protect the user. the fact anyone could call the number was the point made....a child could dial it not knowing premium rate numbers exist, and therefore you get the money back. |

Fine line between personal and very personal use. Just stating you should keep it separate otherwise you're asking for trouble. Can honestly say no, haven't risked visiting fab on my work phone, use the company iPad for that |

In this case it wasn't a child it was an adult ripping off the phone company by saying it was a child.
If it really was a child doing it then surely the adult who owns the phone should be more aware of what is going on with it, I don't see why you should get a refund for it and blame the phone company. |

I'd say it is also unfair that someone can set up a premium rate service, give that number out and not be obliged to tell someone calling it that they are paying a premium price to call that number. That is the real problem. People can be ripped off, when they should be fully aware of all costs before they decide to dial, or not. |

To be fair, and the reason for the original post. This was after days of chatting online; not the usual, hi call me...
If we never called people then you'd rarely meet anyone. |

I agree.
But that isn't the same as accessing porn and blaming a child doing it to get a refund. |

Ok posts removed.
You can't blame people for falling for a scam, it just means they are more trusting than others...plus it has happened on other sites we are on so it does happen.
Contrary to the posts removed, Admin do deal with these things as soon as they are reported so get reporting if you see any.
If the person has left, any information you can remember, KIK ID's etc send them to Admin through the CONTACT button.
Don't get sucked in people, it ends up costing a fortune, google any number you are given before calling |

I honestly think theres a huge difference between using a company Ipad or Computer and mobile phone...my phone was part of my salary package the same same as my company car was...i was free to use in any sensible way i choose to...it just happened i got scammed...and just to be clear on this...i've never connected to FAB on any of the items mentioned...they were purely phone calls |

"An expensive lesson for you I'm sure! I would have though a mobile phone number that looked weird should ring alarm bells immediately, no matter how much the owner might say "yeah is for this reason..."
The point is it didnt look weird..even the IT guys said that..and i worked for a huge company...in fact the company picked up the bill once they called the number
As has been said before, valid mobile numbers issued in the UK are never 070 those are follow me numbers and Of gem issued an alert about these numbers years ago.... That kind of number immediately rings alarm bells for me and those that read this thread... Should for you!
What about those of us who didn't get the memo? "
