"Free" Sky Box Office abd Events ?

[The_Shepherd]

Hi Guys.

Does anyone know the story behind the following posting on YALGO ? The full address is:

http://www.yalgo.com/smclassifieds/templates/template1.asp?action=addetail&adid=516

and is from someone claiming that 9 key-presses can be used to activate BOX OFFICE free of charge. He charges you for the information (of course) which makes it seem even more unlikely .

Cheers,

The Shepherd.

BAA !

Don't pay him any money.

All it is , is instructions how to enter a dialing prefix, so that when the box tries to make a call, it fails.

This will allow you to watch a few PPV events, until your viewing card reaches it's credit limit. Then it will stop working.

There's no way to erase them, and soomer or later if your box ever does make a sucessfull call, you will be billed for them.

If you do try it, don't enter the prexix 123, or you will end up with a big phome bill as your box keeps on calling the speaking clock.

Thanks. I knew it was a scam, just wasn't quite sure what was involved.
