Re: Wonderful Wednesday
Azz and All
My internet is back on line again after being off since last night at 9 pm!! Couldn't even get BT to answer their phone as the helpline just had the same message from 9 pm to 11 am this morning - there is a fault and it will be fixed asap!! It is a true say that you don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry!! I sure did miss my pc last night and this morning!!
Got my 3 mobile account in this morning and noticed a charge of £11.578 on it for 88888 calls - made over a period of 3 weekly calls I was supposed to make to that number
I called 3 Mobile and enquired and was told I had made those calls and when I asked who belonged to that number - it was text messages I was supposed to have made and when I told the girl on the phone I didn't send or call the number, she told me it was an advertising company - turned out to be a company called Jamstar (or something like that) - after a prolonged argument with the assistant at 3 Mobile and I told her categorically that I did not call any 88888 numbers, nor sent any messages to them! She then got a conference call put on and I spoke to the company - which is in Germany
I asked how they got my number in the first place and they said I had registered with them. The young lady from 3 Mobile joined in to say it must have been someone in my household - I said well I know I have a very clever dog and two clever parrots, I doubt if they were that clever as to making text messages from my mobile!
The outcome was, I was told that 3 would not charge me for the extra amount of £11.57 and to cancel my direct debit to them for the next payment, call them and pay the £16 and they would write off the £11.57! I asked the girl why 3 Mobile couldn't cancel the direct debit and she said she would!!
Just as well I checked my bill this morning, I don't normally!!
That's my rant over for this morning!!
Enjoy your day everyone
Take care.
