I was appalled to look at the AutoTrader website this evening to see that they have something called a Telesafe Number on some ads.

This so called Telesafe number is an 070 number which I believe is a personal number.

It's given to customers who want to keep their numbers private and avoid unwanted canvassers, and leaving the customer to foot the bill of up to 37.5p per minute.

It's already cost one seller a possible sale as I refuse to call such a number.

Just another money making phone scam?
