Phone scam

On the 8th of June we wrote about a scam on Channel 9 which featured an advert with a simple competition to win an iPod. It ended up costing us $55. before we realised what was happening.

On my computer desktop today another ad appeared offering a $50. phonecard if I could correctly answer the following question....

Which Australian public TV network is spelled with letters instead of numbers?
The three alternatives offered were.... Channel 9, ABC or Channel 7. No brainer there!

See the ad. here. After reading the 'Terms and Conditions' I can see how they raid your wallet.

Please don't attempt to win a phone card from this site. The ongoing costs could be enormous.
