I was urged to ring or text for more revelations. At the bottom of the page the name Zamano appeared. I googled it and came across this page. I am glad I did not get sucked into that! Reading the small print pays off. I was recently bombarded with spam from some (seemingly) psychic/astrology services claiming to have insights into my near future,re;relationships and business.

Apparently she has been receiving texts at 2/3am, however there is NO record of these. Also, she doesnt do these prn's, so where they got the number from is a mystery! We only noticed when we investigated the fact that the mobile bill has been getting higher and higher. We dont have paper bills sent, and every time my wife tries to create an account on the vodafone site (even when speaking to them on the phone!), it comes up with a "site issue". Anyhow, Voda have agreed to refund the last 3 months (£44.91), nothing more, and we have to write in a letter of complaint to Voda hopeing that they will cover the rest (around £30), and i only managed to get them to agree with that after keeping them on the phone for over an hour, and arguing my point! i will get every single penny of my money back, even if i have to see them in court!

I too was stopped from posting on the Consumer Forum and saw that you wanted to speak with me with useful information on these scammers. They prevented me from comtacting you. What is it with these people? I will posting full report here on what happened with them and hopefully will get it written over the weekend. But first I have a very important story on Gaza to write as I have obtained some horrific pictures from inside Gaza that the mainstream press won't publish. Hi Brian,

Good luck - certainly The Scream! seem to be the most switched on with regards to this problem. Thanks.

I was hoping to get this help from the Consumer Action Forum but for some reason only known to jonni2bad one the site team I can't post anymore. I will be putting the story up on this blog later. I will be following through with this so any helpful results will be posted here and on The Scream! Thanks again, come back often. Thanks Mike that’s very helpful.

For lots more information on Zamano on PRS, check out http://www.the-scream.co.uk/forums/f30.html? (this is not a commercial site BTW, and I'm not spamming you here). You could consider putting in a link in to the scream from your blog. If I were in this position again I should take my network to the small claims court. My contract is with my network. It is they, not me, who choose to do business with the likes of Zamano. Just as your network provider will blame the "service provider" Zamano, Zamano will blame the "content provider" International Mobile Solutions Ltd. Unit 83, 17 Holywell Hill St.Albans, AL1 1DT (bogus address BTW). This kind of theft will only end (IMHO) if/when the networks are forced to take responsibility! PP+ are about as much use as a chocolate fire-guard, but you should certainly insist (and you will probably need to insist) that his pursue your complaint. Hi Dave
