Looks good? I rang the number and got some `one on one girl chat service $hit. Probably at a stinking rate.

Sure you didn't hit re-dial? Any vague recollections of being pi**ed last night or anything?

Instead of waffling on about it, I've done what I thought others might do, and contacted the website, asking them to check the validity of the advert or pull it.

I understand from my London-based friend that this is quite a common scam, earning the people responsible some easy money, although he said its the first time he'd heard of them targeting 'classic' car ads.

What's wrong with waffling on a Sunday morning.
