You mean like this

The premium rate phone regulator has moved to stamp out charges levied by operators for information provided elsewhere for free. It also objected to operators promoting premium-rate services on websites with the .org suffix.

*Begin rant*

FFS!

All of a sudden the "pack mentality" closes in.
Internet forums really DO bring out the best in people, dont they?

How would you all feel if VM WERE shafting you all like he says?
Sounds as though theres a possibility he's right?

Who cares what business he's in? Who knows what it is...does it actually matter?
Is it relevant to this thread?

The Guy seems to be raising a fair point which might affect us all.

After reading this I'm asking VM to list my call charges individuallyon my bill.

*end of rant*

There, that feels beter.

Out to Gazjam

Finally somebody has got it!!!

I know you guys on here dont care wether I get paid for my premium rate calls or not. I know you guys may hate premium rate guys like myself but Im tryng to tell you Virgin media is screwing each and every customer EVERY month and I have PROOF.

Virgin Ive had enough. i still havnt been paid the thousands of pounds revenue you owe my company and I expect thousands if not millions you owe other companies.

Ive put massive pressure on every telco I can over this. BT Wholesale for one and Ive had enough. Im taking the lot of you to court for MASSIVE fraud against my company and each and every Virgin media customer.

Ive called Virgin media yet again over my personal home phone bill and guess what I HAVE TO PAY IT on the very numbers that Virgin wont pay revenue to network providers.

VIRGIN YOU SCAMMERS.

Im also in talks with the BBC and their Watchdog program.

Once again I know you dont care about the thousands Im owed butI think you might care when yourealise Virgin media are scamming you month in month out. I ahve evidence in the industry to PROVE this.

See, this is why comments like this are met with some incredulity. It has nothing to do with the so called forum "pack mentality" Gazjam

I do not use premium rate numbers, so where does your statement stand now? How are Virgin Media ripping me off?

I see a lot of people jumping on this guys back thinking it is a wind up and disbelieving what he is saying when VM themselves have as good as admitted it to an independant party

I'm not party to the actual discussion between them and Adam, I'm sure he'll post any further information about this should he feel inclined.

That is an admittance. So Adam is telling the truth otherwise VM would have given a denial to Russ unless all you jumping on Adams back wish also to jump on Russ's and besmirch his character also

Not necessarily. Virgin did not say to Russ what they had done, merely that what they had done was legal. We only know what Adam says they did, which could be quite different to what they did.

It's also worth noting that even if they were to admit to doing something wrong, it is unlikely that they would do so to a member of the team of a public forum, especially one that is not only not owned by Virgin, but is actually considered by some of the management to be a pain in the proverbial.

This is a great thread. I've got to tell all my friends!

**Hugh** · 18-10-2009, 20:26

Then what will you do after you have rung both of them?

Oh come on VM are not a clean company

Russ said to Adam that he would pass information on. So if this happened the details went through Russ they then replied to Russ with what I see as an admittal of doing something along the lines of the accusation. If they were clean and innocent they would have replied with an outright denial

Please tell me where I said that. I said that they haven't said what they did, I also said that what they did may be different to what Adam says. They were the ones who said what they did was legal. I did not say that what they did was either legal or "clean".

As far as I am aware, they did not pass details on to Russ about what they had done, merely that it was legal.

They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say anything that could be considered admission of doing anything wrong in a public forum. I am not discussing whether what they did was right or wrong as I don't know whether it was. I am merely pointing out that only Adam and Virgin know what was discussed, and we only have Adam's word to go on.

As usual, your post is based on assumptions and lack of knowledge.
