The latest shows to come under attack are Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Game Show Marathon, Soapstar Superstar ........... But they reckon a full investigation could reveal a lot more.
Have you wasted a lot of money on these shows thinking you were in with a chance of winning or that you thought your votes would make a difference?

Yes and not happy. But they will not catch us again either for competitions or voting to support someone or other. Think they have cut off their noses to spite their face as a huge amount of the public will not trust them for a long, long time.
End of their money making schemes but it is going to hit the good causes collections.

I as quickly as voted in Pop Idol while i replaced into 14, and that i discussed as a quiz instruct as quickly as to work out how lots it costed to telephone via cellular. yet to circulate into those competitions makes no sense. 1000's of 1000's of persons will for sure call in to win £20,000 or some thing, so the probabilities of you winning are so narrow. yet having stated that it is so tempting to achieve this! Quiz exhibits could be banned IMO. And as for exhibits that have a public vote, why no longer in simple terms enable online and text fabric votes (the place texting expenses no extra desirable than the nicely-known fee?)

I used to work for Vz and poeple would txt in on at .99 and get banged for 3 calls a night. It was sad.

Apart from any other considerations as to the silliness of these so-called competitions, I would never, ON PRINCIPLE, dial ANY number beginning with 09 - indeed, I jib at having to call 08 numbers although there are sometimes ways round these, but never the dreaded 09x numbers ! ! !

The simple answer to these idiotic phone scams is for everyone to boycott them.
I have never phoned except to vote for an artist a few years ago and the call cost about 20p.
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT! lol
