Yep, VM are trying it on. The evil bearded one is out to get you. I mean...what else could it possibly be?
On the other hand it could be that somebody did dial the number.
:rolleyes:
Oh, hang on a minute........
Failing that are you sure you didn't enter a competition or anything? Is the call charge really that high on your bill for 3 seconds? It's unlikely (though still possible) that virgin would bill a call that didn't happen though if you are still unsure query it with them
Some premium rate numbers are charged at say £1.50 or whatever price they want to charge flat rate either 3 seconds or 3 minutes, it could be £1.50
Well it does seem far more likely that he has stumbled on some secret VM cash scam than someone dialled a premium number with their finger.
Try identifying it on http://www.icstis.org/ they regulate the premium rate number services so if it is scam run by Virgin it will be picked up pretty quickly (it's not done by Virgin, £1.50 isn't worth the hassle and has all kinds of legal implications for such a big company). Chances are as has been said before it's a rogue dialler on your computer or possibly if you have an Amstrad Email phone or Sky Digital as they often use these numbers as a way of paying for their services. Of course it could never be someone else in the property like say a teenager!
A BBC show or charity donation to comic relief type thing?
