Back in March they tried it on with my son, he'd just started up literally that week. They said that they'd callled him 3 months previously and that he'd agreed to support some kids charity. He said he couldnt have done as he wasnt even a business then, they insisted he had and had recordings, he told them to go away (not quite so politely). Thieving scum.

They must take us for idiots, "Oh yeah I think I remember saying I want to give you a load of money, so glad you called back I had forgotten about it"!
