"Her and the other girls had a nickname for me, I was so well-known there."

Yep. I've got a nickname or 2 for him as well.

If OFCOM were to try and have the Babechannels shutdown because of it then its no skin of my nose any how they just have to find another job. I don't watch them a great deal these days and if i do it is not for very long i stick with Myfreecams nowadays

It's very amusing how he blames Vodafone for the whole thing and even gets a migraine if he sees a Vodaphone shop , when it seems to be established that he knew perfectly well what he was spending. If I was Vodafone I'd be asking him to pay the full amount.

The girls or the channel isn't to blame here at all. This is the nature of the beast, and guess what? The beast has big fake boobs and bites hard!

With that said, I do often wonder how these girls justify their jobs to themselves. It's all pretty ruthless.

The 'babeshow' won't last much longer that's for sure.

No Ofcom rules have been broken.

It's a relatively short career. In their shoes i wouldn't think twice about where the money came from.

That Ofcom the regulator for ... telecoms. I still don't understand why Vodafone allowed this idiot to run up such a large bill. Mobile operators have plenty of bad customers, most must get cut off way before they run up a bill that high. Surely there are mechanism to stop the same person opening account after account.

The man ran up an initial bill of £19,333.63, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Who pays for this? Vodafone and possibly the babe channels. Vodafone will pass the loss on to other customers, shareholders and the taxman (ie the public). Its not good for anyone if losses are passed on to babe channels either.

All babe channel viewers and callers lose out because of this wanker.

There praying on lonely people who probably have no family or friends so there a easy target and to me that shit is totally wrong!

Perfect example of this today - I was on MASTICAM.COM the girl had left her webcam MIC UP Misty she was called from BS and this guy called in 5 times after getting time out time and again. The Last time before i had to leave the House he timed out which of course she gave him all her bullshit about really liking him and he was her number one now he got timed out. Producer come along in back ground and said you made sure he would call back before the end and her reply was OH YES I MADE SURE OF THAT ALL RIGHT AND THEY BOTH STARTED LAUGHING...

of course the babes are pretending to be into their callers and try to get them calling regularly, that's their job. they need to get people calling the shows and if they arent into their callers they wont get calls and lose their job on the shows agree though its wrong if they are praying on any lonely people who have no family & friends and that isnt nice what missty has done, but they arent forcing people to call them back and spend more money calling them. the callers have to be disciplined and not run up bills like this person has and he's now paying the consequences

Rammy you worry me. You cannot help yourself from defending these programmes no matter what. Trickster is just pointing out the underhanded depths these despicable cretins will go to to get their hands on peoples money. And what do you do? You condemn the paying customer. Where Trickster is wrong is in describing the callers lonely etc, not all are lonely, just obsessively strange sex starved weirdos who get a stiff cock listening to some tattood trollop calling him baby on a premium phone line. But that doesn't give the twats the right to rip the weirdo off.

i wasnt defending the shows here. i said in my reply to trickster that of course the babes pretend to be into their callers so that the callers will call them time and time again. if they dont do this they wont be in a job on the shows. i then went on to say that the babeshow babes dont force the callers to call back and the callers have to take some responsability of their own and not run up bills like this person has. also said what missty has done wasnt nice at all.

also there was no ripping off the caller (the weirdo as you call him) here. this person knew full well what he was doing. he used one sim card till he got barred and then when he did get barred he got another sim card and carried on calling the shows. now seeing that he's nearly £100,000 in debt he's now trying to potray himself as a victim, blaming everyone except himself and has made himself look a right idiot

Ever since this story came out the channels have been as tame as fuck. Coincidence or what Who's to say that ofcom haven't already directed the channels and Studio 66 in particular to tone down, I mean most of the models tonight are wearing 2 pairs of panties.

Could this one islolated incident be the catalyst for ever increasing dull shows so as to dissuade anymore of his type ringing in despite the fact he was only phoning for a chat on the dayshow.

I mean it's ofcom we're talking about here. They don't need any logic or reasoning as to how they inflict even more censorship on the channels. This is why I refer you back to my previous post.

Having watched the shows last night and this morning he does have a point about the cost being not that visible on the screen and its not just S66 its every channel when u compare the size of text of the cost to the text size and clarity of the actual phone number its miniscule and hardly readable

that said there was plenty of other warnings
