Thanks Mike I pay by cheque (old dear) and only payed less the £50,so i expect they will keep adding the money to my bill each month and i will hate that because i like to pay my bill at once and will hate to think i'm in debt. Thanks again Margaret

Greeting's Margaret. . . . I was given the following tel No. by my local customer services for customer support . . . . . 0845 6500 121 ( local rate ) But I still had to press the right buttons before I got through to the right person ( hate that ) I wish you luck with your claim. . . perhaps you should get your bank involved as well, if it was to do with the use of your card details ? Christel. . . . To be fair not everone has the "NTL Home" as their home page I know I don't. . . and as you said you now have to dig for the info. . . it didn't stare out at you That's why I volunteered to put this notice on here I have been with NTL for more years than I care to remember they have always given me good and prompt service, So I'm only returning the favour. . . MIKE.

There was a warning on the NTL Homepage for a while about it. There is still a warning on the 'Server Status' page marked as 'ongoing'. Christel

Thanks Mike How did you manage to contact NTL? I had the problem of a scam via the internet of £50 added to my phone bill,I have e-mailed them,spoken on the phone and written but no one has come back to me 2 weeks down the line. If I dont get a reply i am thinking of making this a bigger issue. Margaret

Is this on the go . . . . . I had this e-mail months ago, and was quite worried about it at the time. No warning from NTL. There are some very sad people out there!!

So if NTL know this hoax is going round why don't they put a warning on their Home Page? As someone is using their name to commit fraud. They seem to be getting such a bad reputation lately a little bit of customer service wouldn't do them any harm. I am an NTL user, and I would really appreciate seeing that sort of info. By they way, thanks Mike
