Florida Holiday Scam

We've been experiencing all sorts of annoying phone calls, most of which start with "Congratulations, You've won a Florida holiday". I wouldn't fall for the scam, as I don't visit the States, as they still have the death penalty and deny global warming. We actually had four calls yesterday, including one at four in the morning.

But a lot of people have lost a lot of money to the scam.

You can read more about it at boakes.org/ameri-scam, where he has done a great job in detailing it all.

I've spoken to BT about it and they say they have to deliver the calls. Why? They know where they are coming from, so why don't they dump them in the ether. There is also an 0800 number associated with this scam, so why don't they get it cancelled?

They say that it's all down to Ofcom. Fat chance.

The only solution that will work, is for everybody who has suffered from these calls and that includes millions of us, not to take a holiday in the US. And tell everybody why! How long do you think it would take before Disney and the other reputable American holiday companies got heavy with the scammers?
