Stop spam calls

I got this number from Luton Trading Standards website. It did not say that this number is a premium rate number. I've just got my phone bill and discovered my call to them about a dodgy car dealer cost me £49:82p. Can't work out if that includes VAT. I feel Trading Standards ripped me off more than the car dealer. For what I thought was a public service this is a complete CON.

I contacted trading standards on the recommendation of CAB to report a suspected scam only to find I had been ripped off by them. I rang the number I was given and was not informed it was a premium rate number.

I contacted trading standards due to be ripped off by a company, Only to find out today, Trading standards have ripped me of £45 for the phone call. Oh the irony! No way did I ring a premium numners, Even if it were New Years eve! Who do I go to to complain?

This No has cost us close to £50!

I used this number as I thought that I was connecting straight to Trading Standards. Turns out that it is a connecting service but I cannot recall being advised of this. You would have thought that a Trading Standards Officer would have questioned this and ask me to phone them direct! It was a 15 minute and 57 seconds call for which I have been charged an astonishing £27. 94. I dread to think what if the call had lasted for e. G. 1 hour! Surely something should be done about this!! Disgracef

I thought i was connecting straight to trading standards and i have incurred high charges. So annoyed i have been scammed. What can i do about this?

I've been billed an extra £55 as I have supposedly rang this number, I have never called this number, Be careful ppl

Just got my phone bill. It said it was free but it was not free and have no been charged 44. 00 for 19 minutes. Not happy at all.

I Google searched trading standards and got this number, It said it was free, But it only redirects you to trading standards and I got charged £50

Told free number to phone trading standards, Just recieved phone bill and have been charged nearly £20 for 10 minutes

Scam number listed as a free number for citizens advice. It connects you to the real number and secretly charges you for the privilege, So you have no idea it’s costing you a fortune. Got a bill for over £100 but thankfully Vodafone wiped the charge when they investigated.

A scam number that's listed as a freephone number for Citizens Advice, But is connecting you and charging for the privilege. Thankfully Vodafone are giving me a full refund, Otherwise it would have cost me over £100. Avoid at all costs.

Thought was calling trading standards.. 15 mins at the cost of £30... No mention of a charge 😡😡😡

This company has ripped me off for £60 in calls proclaiming to be trading standards avoid if possible I have a harsh penalty from your provider EE are very extortionate as they charge you on top of what the company is charging you

Scam number, My husbands bill has come through £64. 10 more than it should have been, Was supposed to be a free call to trading standards, Said at end of message we would be charged for the call.

This is a connecting phone call company that scams you as you’re connecting to trading standards, Considering the company in question I find the whole thing legal theft I will be reporting this number to the police as the consumer is not made aware

This number is a call connection company that relays the call to trading standards charging you £1. 50 a minute
