The Daily Mirror were also taken in by this fake scam (or at least pretended to be for the sake of a story).

The Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services (ICSTIS) has stated:
A £20.00 per minute premium rate tariff does not exist – the highest premium rate tariff available is £1.50 per minute. Despite the hundreds of enquiries received by ICSTIS about this 'scam' (and most have heard about it second or third-hand), not one person who claims that it has actually happened to them has been able to produce a phone bill to support their story.
