fooking twunts -08000MUMDAD

[drlove8]

bwastards!
today i topped up dd2's mobile, ready for school tomorrow......
then she gets a rapid influx of text messages..... all from "08000" dd2 hasnt even looked at them, but tries tophone her friend to arrange how they'll get to school tomorow.... she cant - NO CREDIT !!!!.
Dd2 asks me to look at her phone and see whats wrong with it as she cant understand why she's getting no credit message.
she has four sms from the same number..... so she reads them aloud.
its a reverse charge service that dd2 has never used... its a new phone so she hasnt phoned anyone , usually texts with it.
wtf! so i go to the web site and look. other people can use this and charge your mobile for theyre calls ,so some little teenage git , has phoned alannah and used all her credit .

Apparently they send them to randomly generated numbers with a certain 087...beginning, O2 most often, which sounds right.
