I'm pretty sure on xbox you get asked to choose payment option aswell
Same with ps3 now you get option to pay by card/paypal or voucher, and the price is always shown before you confirm the sale.
Imo EA/Soy or Microsoft are not at fault it's ignorant parents who are at fault for not doing propper checks.
Safest way to avoid Xbox horrific charges is to use the points/xbox live pre-payment cards - especially when some have discounted prices on some sites...
Why are most of the people they take stories from seemingly well off?
That woman with the £1500 on Fifa doesn't look like £1500 would even be noticed, and she didn't notice for weeks.
They never seem to have many 'average' households on there.
That's been standard BBC policy for years - Make-over programmes with Mr and Mrs middle class who have £3000 spare to spend on making over one very small room.
Never how to make over a room for someone on the dole with £5.50 to spend on it.
Same with all the cookery programmes with the cost of one meal being what some have to spend for a whole month!
exactly as usual in modern parenting abdication of responsibilty
ITS THE CHILDS FAULT
It the one thing parents don't seem to know nowadays - they are FULLY responsible for their child up to 16 years of age. I even see that CBEEBIES is doing children's book reading for your child every night now. What happened to the parents doing that?

Is it limited to the BBC?
I can't say I watch too many programmes outside of Music, Sport, News - Watchdog is one.
When I am flicking, it does appear cookery programmes are middle class people in general.
I would have hoped that Watchdog would be more about people with less money who are being conned.
It was good that tonight's crooks were people getting money out of elderley, though.

most of ths is designed at women so its aspiration TV
same as the property shows
they dont show a middle terrace in stockport for £50K
matt needs to come up with a plan where the scammers are not close enough to their car. he only usually gets 5 seconds out of them before they drive off.
Perhaps they should make the programme with the cooperation of the team from 'Parking Mad' & make sure the salesmen's cars are clamped when they're inside.
Who the hell advised Annie to have her hair cut like that? It's ridiculous at her age. She looks as if she wants to be 40 again (rolleyes)
I'm sure most people over 40 would love to be 40 again and it makes her look really old. Bobs like that are the moniker for the over 60s but I think she is growing it, hope she grows it longer and more fashionable. Never understood women cutting hair short as thet get older, it usually looks awful. A 40 year old with that hair would be even worse Anyway, next week's show looks good.
as far as I am aware rogue traders is in association with trading standards and its them who front the money used to pay the crooks. trading standards dont have the resources for hidden cameras and other stuff so easier to get a third party like rogue traders to help them out, and yes there has been many prosecutions, they do updates on the last episode of the series but you also see stuff in local papers where the crooks operate and been caught
If he's got evidence of wrongdoing he can take it to the police. Don't be a dick.
Or the police could actually get off their arses and investigate/ prosecute the companies themselves. Radical thought, I know.
By the way, he ends each series with a round up of the people who've been fined or sent to jail as a result of the programme. But don't let that get in the way of your lazy ill- informed criticisms.

Absolutely - didn't the parents look at their emails to see all the purchases?
Too much botox in her jaw muscles. They no longer move!
