'A £1000 Vodafone bill when I lost my mobile'
28 6 13

One reader was told to foot the bill when fraudsters got hold of his Sim. took on the telecoms giant. When Jon Barrett lost his uninsured iPhone on holiday in Barcelona, he resigned himself to the cost of a new handset. What he didn't bank on was Vodafone billing him more than...

"We make it clear in our terms and conditions that the customer is responsible for all charges on a lost or stolen phone up to the point that he or she reports it to us."

A spokesman said: "We've looked again at Mr Barrett's case and it seems that, rather than a straightforward case of fraudulent usage, this could be part of an organised scam. On that basis, we've waived all the charges. We're sorry that we missed this initially, but it is an extremely rare occurrence."

my advice to anybody with huge amounts of fraudulent charges on their phone bill would be to seek proper legal advice.
get the press and you MP involved

consider whether you want to dispute the bill in writing.
no Network has ever dared chase these fraudulent charges in court.
