TV's Dirty Secrets

An exposé by BBC TV's Panorama programme claims that "Callers to premium-rate phone competitions on the GMTV breakfast show have been defrauded out of millions of pounds." So what else is new? Coxsoft Art has stated its view on premium-rate number scams (CLICK) and has called for premium-rate telephone numbers to be made illegal. GMTV has suspended all phone-in quizzes and has responded with the usual bull about not having breached regulators' codes. Maybe not, but it is still immoral to rip off the punters in this way. You can view the Panorama exposé TV's Dirty Secrets tonight on BBC1 at 8.30pm.
