I dunno if this the correct section to put it in but hey here goes.

I recived a card today in the post, was sent Royal Mail Mailsort which is like 3rd Class.

Apparemtly I have a camera waiting for me, but only if I call an 0906 for 5.5mins to 'confirm' delivery.


Number is 0906 661 1903
Address on the card is Studio Telecom, Po Box 2087, Wrexham, LL11 4QZ.

This looks rather like a scam to me, and I have defo not called the number and will prob report it to icstis.

Looks like it's got written all over it!

Studio Telecom was fined £20,000 on 24 June 2005 in connection with a a 'prize draw' it ran. The ICSTIS adjudication is here.

Id still check your bill very carefully. Somtimes these scammers put a recording to make you think its "out of service" or a "Ringing tone" or "enagaged" when in fact your being charged 2.5 pence a second.

Unless this means ictis has got on the ball pretty quickly and "suspended" the service based on past problems.

The first question one should ask is "When did I order a camara?"

If the answer is "Never", forget it!  Somebody is indeed trying to scam you.

If the answer is something like "It's here at last!", call you local mail sorting office or carrier's local depot and arrange delivery/collection.

It is difficult to imagine a reputable supplier will use trick numbers for their customer to receive goods.  After all, they want your repeat business and your recommendations to friends and colleagues.

Had a letter from ICSTIS just arrive.

Basicly it states that as they recived 250+ complaints and that it was also xmas week they barred the service under icstis emergency procedures.
The revenue has also been frozen until further notice.

Would that but our 'friends' at Ofcom could bring themselves to act with such rapidity as ICSTIS appear to have done in this matter!
