So one night upon returning from the pub I thought I'd catch some late night telly in hope of some softcore p0rn - hey I was drunk and horny what can I say?
Anyway nothing was on but I did catch a lovely lady doing a phone in quiz show.
So I thought why not I'll give 'em a bell, I got through on the 3rd attempt and won £50. Woot.
Cue the next two hours constantly trying to get through. I won £350 in total and the girl was drawing hearts on screen for me, yay.
Sadly though the £350 just about paid for the VAT on my phone bill. Seeing as my phone only clocks 29 calls I didnt think it was that big, but it was :-(
My sim got barred until I paid the £1,080 that I owed - luckily I paid it off the same day and nothing is against my name, but the guy at T-Mobile said it was the biggest bill he's ever seen.
And I guess the other bad thing was is that it was my Christmas Bonus of a £1000 that went down the shitter.
I felt sick for a week after that.
no apologies for length.

Amateur.
I used to work for another telco, and £1080 is pretty small beans by comparison.
Worst one I ever saw in five years of Collections work was a young 'un from Nottingham who'd managed to arse six and a half grand in a month.
A salutory experience for everyone - pay as you go for drunken phone time. Contract will just shaft you royally.
