Many thanks for the warning.
RE: BEWARE, SCAM COULD BE EXPENSIVE.
They cannot charge that much for a premium rate call. The maximum anyone can charge is £1:50 a minute. Secondly, this is a chain email going around about a compnay that isnt operating any more. Follow the link to Icstis and read about it for your self.
