Thread: Just got this E-mail about Mobile Phones

I got a telemarketer a while back and they rang back again, later in the day, same voice I answered the phone and in my best '007' type voice very matter of factly asked how they got an operations number for the AFP, and that this number was used for operations purposes only and that we are about to engage in a raid on a huge warehouse filled with suspected contraband cigarettes in conjunction with the customs etc so get off the line and don't EVER call this number again, and they were quite put out!

The next bill had another 4 x $6 chargers that had been clocked up before we cancelled.

My mother never entered any code numbers but these thieves still charged her and the law seems to be on their side

See my previous post, they have to refund.
