Hello

I have also been charged for Â£400 worth of premium rate calls. Having been with virgin now for about 8 months and never had a monthly charge over Â£2.60, to suddenly over 5 days phone several different premium rate numbers for somewhere near 14 minutes for each and every call (dialer?). My friends a street away have also been hit for this by virgin. Their premium rate calls were made on the same 5 days: between the 9th and 13th of may. They don't have a phone! They also can't tell me the numbers citing "data protection act", but as far as I'm aware if my name is connected with that information then tecnically I have full access to it. I have contacted the police and consumer advice service. If necessary I can use contacts to get this story to national press as, it seems to be large scale fraud.

Any advice on this?
Thanks
