    What kind of !!!! would ring up? It's obvious it's a loop hole.

    My bank just rang me to complete a security check as CPW had tried to validate my account with an outgoing transaction of 1p.

    Mine too, just now.

    Are you sure CPW are not getting you all contracts? As they would never need a 1p check lol

    Hmmm, who rang, and why? It is/was blatantly clear this was a loophole, one which would be closed fast, so why make them even more aware? I've not yet had a cancellation email so here's hoping. I do think some people who ordered 2 were being a bit silly and greedy in this instance too...

    Well I didn't ring (I really don't know who would!!) but I did order two. I know I know, I was being greedy but money is short at the moment since I just had my gerbil in for a £90 operation :( So thought I would sell one on ebay. The operation came as a surprise so my bank account wasn't quite ready for it unfortunately. Boo :( Luckily he pulled through though.

    I don't think they can put us on contracts, I think all of us have print screens through the stages and it clearly said phone only.

    On the other hand, if we don't get it, I'll just really dislike the idea of them holding our credit card details...

    Awwww, I hope your gerbil is better now.
