"Erm hi, hello. This is Jonathan Simmonds from Cruise Connection."
This isn't the start of a message I want to hear.
I've won a cruise apparently. Funny that I've not entered for any draw, that my name is down on the UK's "do not call" list, and that I have a sneaking suspicion nothing comes for free.
"To claim your cruise, simply call 090 6125 ..." ah, there's the punch-line. That call would cost me £1.50 per minute. No mention of the cost in the message of course. I wonder how many people call just in case it's true.
But why is it so difficult to dig this information out of BT's website? You have to first check for the charge rate the number's in, then cross-reference that on the call charge list. Is it too much for BT to have a cost calculator on the website that does all this work?
Nice money if you don't mind breaking the law to earn it.
