This was discussed again on local radio this week. We had an e-mail broadcast at work too warning everybody (with company mobiles ) So I rang the number from work - not recognised. Also rang the number below - not recognised. I reckon it's a hoax.

Everyone. This is RUBBISH.

for anyone that cares, the ICSTIS (Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Service) www.icstis.org.uk/icstis2002/default.asp

Have outlined a white paper on phone scams and their hoaxes.
the ICSTIS have confirmed that the highest current premium rate tarriff is a mere £1.50
