What do you make of this?

[4p]

Never actually come across a website that has said this to me, I've gone over my details 5 times now. Don't really want to ring the number as its pricey.

Anyone booked via them? Seems a bit dodgy, the website didn't even seem to take a minute to check my card it just came straight up with this red box within a second.

Sounds a bit odd...

 

[POB]

08444 is not expensive approx 5p per min.

It takes seconds or less for computers to check things, banking systems are not run on 1980s Spectrums

Says at the bottom of their page

* Calls using 0871 will be charged at 10p per minute plus 8p setup from a BT landline, other networks may vary

Well it's not an 0871 number, dodgy low rate 08444 number

The dodgy low rate number is between between 3p and 5p a minute.

These numbers are a RIPP OFF

Some reputable companies now offer a mobile phone friendly number

Home owner loans for almost any purpose

Ocean have access to 100’s of Loan Plans

I think they may lend on your house for the cost of the phone call. (They have a freephone number )

yer ssl over the internet, but

1) the malware on you PC collects the details and sends the to russia
2) the web server at the other end sends an un-encrypted email with the details on to the sales person
3) the malware on the sales persons PC sends the details to a guy in china
4) the sales person sells your details to a guy in india
5) the company put the details unencrypted in a database that gets hacked by a guy in america
6) a rogue admin backs up the database and sells the details to a guy in nigeria...
7) The sales persons laptop is stolen by a guy in london who opens their email and gets your details..

Ring your credit card company and see if they have attempted to charge your card.

You can't charge anything via my bank until you go through an extra stage of security, via the bank itself.

Rang them up, wasn't of much help said they would ring me back and they haven't so...
