    How can we allow these gangsters continue to operate.. Just listening to the owner on Radio 1 this morning..
    How do we go about getting these premium services shut down ?

    Simple... get the idiots to stop phoning up in the first place!

    That'll put them out of business....

    What is it like anyway? Are you talking to a real person on the line or is it just a bunch of recorded responses?

    Well apparently there's a reward going for the workers, whoever keeps callers on the line the longest gets a bonus... I'm not sure of the exact charge but isn't it something like €1.50 a minute? I only caught the end of the programme this morning when Pat Kenny was reading out responses he'd got, but it sounded like everyone was outraged!

    i say fair play to the guy. he found a way to get idiots to give him money for nothing. the only thing they can accurately predict is "you will soon be poorer".

    from the interview...

    €2.40 a minute for the call

    you rack up over €4 before even get to speak to a 'psychic'

    They're obliged by law to inform u when u've racked up €30, but they're having difficulties at the moment so none of the 5 psychics tested informed the person of this. Co-incidence.. I think not...

    Most of them read your tarot cards over the phone I think. I thought half the point of tarot cards was that the person you're reading for shuffles the cards themselves while thinking about whatever's bothering them... In fairness though, who would be stupid enough to ring the Psychics Hotline or whatever they're called?

    Phone psychic: You will die a terrible terrible death.

    Marge: *GASP*

    Phone psychic: Oh I'm sorry, that was our last caller. Hmm, ok I'm getting something, hmm... Ok, You will die a terrible terrible death.
