Confuzzed Rip Off
« on: 20 September 2013, 16:34:09 »

Well , been doing quite a few insurance quotes myself on the comfuzzed DOT com website and happy with how fast the quotes come up and some reasonable prices  :) Now , thing is ive been bombarded with phone calls ever since ive been doing the quotes  :( Just checked my balance on me mobile bill and they have been charging me for the privileged £6 so far  >:( >:( >:( >:( They dont tell you that when doing your own quotes  :( So the filter settings on the site have been duly rearranged and ive reported them to Phonepayplus and got the £6 paid back from the scumbags  :(

Don't make up a number .. while doing the first "trawl" use a false name and use the number of someone you don't like .......  ;D ;D ;D only give your real name once you've decided you are seriously interested ..

We got ourselves an 0870 number about four or five years ago ,this gets given to all utility company's and any internet searches this is put in!!!

Fairly easy to get hold of (or was),very few companys  query it and we still have our "normal" number as well.

Most providers of 0870 to consumers use it to pay for the service that they offer for free.

If you're charged for incoming calls in the UK, you need a new mobile provider!!!
