"You've won £10,000!!! Press "9" to claim your prize"

Got one of these phone calls t'other day and to be honest, it's an utter disgrace. Apparently they're 100% legal as well, as the "companies" (in this case, company = thievin' money grabbin' criminals) are based at a non-UK location.

Lukily, I'm not stupid so I didn't press "9", but what if my 5-year old cousin had picked up the phone?

Argghhh! It makes me maaad.

Anyone else been hassled by these phone calls?

Hmmm...

Even so, I phoned 999 once when I was about 4, and my fingers stayed in, er, five pieces.
