    That's four years on the trot! Just as people write to the papers when they hear the first cuckoo in spring, we should write a similar letter when the first PDS "warning" makes an appearance.

    Not only has this "warning" now been posted up on the Isle Of Man Post-Office website, the BBC have repeated this non story. Idiots!

    First receipt for 2010!

    My colleague was most disappointed when I sent her a copy of the PhonepayPlus statement dated over 3years ago!

    I have just done a quick Google search and this "warning" has started to appear on various forums, including the one for Spur's fans. Luckily there have been replies pointing out that it's a chain email and there is no scam.

    I've had two of these emails today, and see that it's gone up to £315 for the phone call this year!! How's that for inflation? :rotfl:
