RE: Re: Free Box more info...

Thanks for the info Phil

Oh Shit :-(

The site now appear not to be around anymore.
At least it was only a tenner.
That was why I toook the gamble.
As usual with my gambling activities it would appear that I have lost.

No change there then!

I would have been more sceptical if there had been an online purchase
option.
Once they had your credit card number they could have dome all sorts!
