Recently in scams Category

I'm Nataly. I'm 29 years old.
Maybe we can through letters to know each other's.
A few words about myself:
I consider myself like interesting, womanly, romantic and creative person. I'm faithful and kind woman. I like to spend my free time on the nature, especially at the sea coast. Speaking about my hobbies, I like to draw pictures with oil and coal. At the last time my hobby is also decoration of apartments. Surely, as a social person I like to sped the time in a circle of best friends.
It is ideal for:
I search for the clever, adult man. Which will always love me. Which will want to be with me always. Also will understand me. I will be your small princess, and you will be my prince. And we will love all life each other.
Here's my address:

I missed a call recently from an 07660 number (079660 960199). When I returned the call I got what appeared to be garbled answer machine message, in hindsight intended to keep you hanging on the line to work out what's going on.

It would appear that these calls are some kind of scam. The return calls are expensive (apparently 42.5p per minute) and not included in your mobile minutes plans. They are also, apparently, not covered by www.phonepayplus.org.uk/, the organisation set up to police premium rate services.

If you receive a phone call from a phone number starting 07660, by all means answer the call but don't return it.

There are some internet rumours that operators of payphone services are being stiffed by these numbers too. The person running the 07660 number earns so much they can pay to use a payphone to call the 07660 number and still make a profit with the phone operator ending up picking up the bill.

Back in 2004 I blogged about a pernicious (not so) little scam that has caught out thousands of innocent businesses in the UK and across Europe. European City Guide mail out these request for updated information to be entered into their CD Rom and Online directory. Unless you read closely it appears that updated information is all they require. Unless you read carefully through the small print you could easily miss the fact that it is, in fact, a contract for a paid entry costing 997 Euros.

Often, the first time such businesses realise they've been scammed is when the ECG send in its debt collecting attack dogs. A former employer of mine was caught out by this. At the time the cost of the entry was even more hidden on the mailouts. The business was hassled by debt collectors and legal firms for several years.

Stop the European City Guide is a website dedicated to publicising and tackling this and other similar scams. The people behind the European City Guide have tried to shut stopecg.org down on a number of occasions using spurious libel action threats against their ISP and a number of legal threats. On one such occasion I, along with many others, hosted a partial mirror of the site to prevent data, and access to it, being lost.

Yesterday I received the mailshot above, so the ECG is obviously still going, which suggests it's still making money, which, in turn, suggests innocent businesses are still being ripped off.

If you received anything like the above, please just screw it up and throw it away. If you've been caught out and returned it, the best course of action is simply to ignore any correspondence, phone calls or threats of legal action. These thieving cowards would never take court action because they know that there's no chance of success.
