when you phone the number you get this line is currently closed there are other sex lines

as soon as i herd that i hung up

the worrying thing here is i do have an Argos account
I am not an expert I am self taught i have no legal training any information I post is based on my own personal experience and information gained from other web sites


If you are in any doubt please seek legal/expert advice help

    just hazarding a guess but im fairly certain that should be an 0845 number instead of 08445?

    if it is argos, get a catalogue, phone up the number there and go through those channels. problem solved.
