Re: billed premium rate calls when noone has called them

Hi D_Kemp

 

Thanks for your post and I hope that now that the call barring has been applied to this line that this has not happened again.

 

With issues such as this we'd usually direct you to speak to our customer services team to investigate this further for you. This is not something we can help you with through the forums.

 

I have run a couple of pre-emptive checks on your line and can see nothing service affecting which would account for this particular issue.

 

I am sorry that I am unable to assist further.

 

Thanks

Hi D_Kemp,

                   The only time that I can recall having unknown premium rate calls added to my bill, was many years ago, when I was on a dial-up internet connection, and antivirus programs weren't as adept for catching trojan's, when I acquired one, which was dialling up to unsavoury sites.  Fingers crossed... I haven't had that kind of issues for well over 15 years.     Hope you manage to get it sorted though.       Regards dozer167
