TRADING STANDARDS
Premium Rate Line Scams
Consumers are warned to beware of phoning telephone numbers beginning 070. These are non regulated personal numbers where the charge per minute can be anything from 35p to £1.50 (approx).
A number of consumers contacted the service to report that they had have received an automated phone message that purported (falsely) to come from a leading courier company. The message told them that there was a radio awaiting their collection and asked them to phone an 070 number to confirm a delivery time.
It is possible therefore that if a caller spent several minutes on the phone the cost may exceed the value of the radio, should they actually receive a delivery (we cannot confirm at this time that anyone has received a radio).
