    [Sam] I would like to know if this is an official 3 offer: http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/
    [Minaz] Hi Sam
    [Minaz] Welcome to 3. Sure. I'll help you with the deals.
    [Minaz] one moment while I check the link you have sent me?
    [Sam] Thank you
    [Minaz] You're welcome
    [Minaz] this is not an offer provided directly from us and we don't have access to the link you have given

    (Note: Sam is of course not my real name. Minaz is the 3 rep)

    I've just phoned Tesco which is the cc I used for my order, they say it is showing as the correct amount and to the correct company, so I have no idea why OH's order seems to be questionable with a different company name.

    I received this as a press release from Verbal Communications - call them if you are unsure.

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I dont think there is any doubt you will get a debit on your card for the amount but the risk has to be will you actually get anything and what will happen to your apparently unsecure details afterwards.

    This does strike me as to good to be true and am holding fire at the moment.
