"Hi, this is Jasmin from 'something' in Los Angeles. You have won a pize.
To claim your prize press 9."
*i hang up*
It was all automated and really random as they rang my old phone...
Anyone had this phone call? Or is it just me?

obviously, right i am actually going to ignore you again now. and although i am sure its a waste of my energy i'd recommend not replying as i won't read it. have a good life spazzy i hope it is of a higher quality than the six years you have already enjoyed.
who me? banned? i think not. I have been on here ages and everyone knows i'm not malicious and that i'm joking. On top of that phil is someone ive spoken to on MSN a fair bit and i think he knows i'm joking. and the :-) was a bit of a give away too.
People don't mind if you have the odd bit of dodgy humour and they'll let you know if you've crossed the boundary, if you're malicious and insulting to everyone then peoplewill dislike you and you'll get banned its failry simple.
amusingly i unignored you to see what crap you were spouting, gonna have to ignore you again!

Wait until old Spaz has to go back to school, then he'll act normal again. Until he can go back home and be that cool person on the Internet that he loves to be!
when i called your house on you mum's private line it charged me 5 quid a minute! :-)
It's all an urban myth.
You can't charge anything more than £1.50 a min.

i heard the max was £20.
there was a cunning legalish scam going on, where people would knock on your door, saying: "my cars broken down, would you mind if i use your phone to call my AA?" most reasonable people say yes, especially when they send a pretty young female in. She calls the premium rate number racking up 3*20 quid for her 3 minute call. Your none the wiser till your phone bill comes though, and legally you can't do anything as you consented to the use of your phone.

They can't charge you just by you pressing 9. You press 9 to confirm that you're listening.

Because no matter how many times I tell people to add my new number to their phone, they still insist on texting my old phone!
Plus a few important people have that number and may need to contact me.
