If they wanted you so badly, Maureen, they would phone you. If you phone that number they will probably charge you a thousand pounds a minute! For more info on scams like these check out "Scambusters". They send you an email with things to beware of. Regards Abigail

0871 numbers are available from here: http://www.gtitelecom.*com/incoming/0871/ (remove *) Calls apparently cost 10p/min of which the people receiving the calls get over 4p/min.
