You're absolutely right. Here are two examples of companies which have just been liquidated rather than pay the PSA fines.

Quote:I tried to call my insurance company and misdialled area code 01296 instead of 01926. A message instructed me to call 118820. I was then transferred to my insurance company. In order to resolve a technical insurance issue the phone call was 25 minutes in length. For this call 118820 have charged me £94.27 !
That's steep!!

Just a question (and probably a daft one at that) How many of these companies are operating premium rate lines here as well as abroad?

Scam of the month! A company advertised assistance for passport applications at £1.50 per minute but calls were actually forwarded to HM Passport Office.

The PSA have announced that it will cease to exist next year and the regulation of premium rate phone services will be taken over by Ofcom.

Ofcom take over as the regulator on 1 Feb.
