    Oh thanks, when I entered the url it came back with nothing.
    Certainly looks a bit dodgy though. I will certainly delete that.
    cheers:)

    Some of the magazine "offers" involve premium text services but fairly sure you have to confirm the opt in and not just tick a box before you start getting charged.
