I have VLC, it's my preferred choice of player. I just couldn't be bothered to download the file and a bit wary of doing so.

Re: Rep deceived me into a new 12 month contract : what to do?

yeah, only a bit is missing as I was asleep and didn't know who was calling, he just confirmed my account name and details, I then asked him to wait for a few seconds to turn on the voice recording. so only my account info is missing and I got him to repeat what he was offering ...

Did you

A Tell him you were recording the conversation
B Get his permission to upload the resulting recording to the Internet.

Whilst the files themselves seem ok, given that at least one person is getting warnings from the links I've removed them from the post above as a precaution.

In the past I've personally had issues with ZShare and MediaFire, although I think it's more likely the advertising that they permit (or the files than have been uploaded) than an issue with the site itself.

a) Calls are recorded by Virgin, therefore there is the reciprocal right for me to record calls..
b) If I could find this liar, I give him a punch in the nose, so no, I don't know who he is, but I have given the time and date information so maybe someone from virgin can track him down. This is the second time I have been lied to by a Virgin/Telewest rep. The fist time it was the guy that signed me up, he was offering me a really good deal, but it turned out be be lies which cost me £90.

As did my anti virus work for me. however i should be able to click on a link that a user has posted without running the risk of getting infected. Might i suggest you check your links in future with the same gusto as you are posting recording on people you have not had permission from to allow you to do so.

However they do not then post those calls on the Internet against your wishes

Personally i don't think you have the legal right to be posting that call on the internet. Nowhere in that call do we hear you ask or tell the person on the other end that you are recording the call or that you are then going to upload that call to the internet.
