What a scam! Do you live with anyone that might have called them? When were all the calls supposed to have taken place?
OllieRocks

No, I live on my own. :(

All the calls took place within 2 hours.

No-one has been to my house in the last month. Except the gas man. LOL

Hmmm, weird - definately worth reporting to someone, maybe BT and/or Habbo, but I'm not too sure what to do in a situation like that, call the BT helpline or something I suppose?

I blame the gas man!

BT say we will look into it and start a investigation.

Report to watchdog filed

Report to trading standards filed. (I didn't really know wether it was trading standards but it was purchasing something)

Same thing happened to me, only on a smaller scale.

Buy the credits another way.

Isn't impossible to make 636 calls to habbo in 2 hours each call last at least 1 minute so thats 60 seconds = 1 min = 1 call so x2 is 600 calls and the calls are easy over a minute. :p

Right, i am 21 right, and i get billed by BT every month. I spend 10 pounds a month on credits and no less or no more.

Today, i got my bill, calls to the number 0905657575 cost me £636 pounds and i had aparently called 636 times.

On the first day of everymonth i call habbo 10 times and no more.

What is up with this?

Beware........ you'll prob see me on WatchDog soon!!!

You Would Of Had.

6360 Creds :o

Azela's right, it would take you about 3 hrs to make those calls, and did you get those credits?

My friend had the same thing.
They didn't had to pay a thing since it came out to be a glitch.
Contact Habbi about this and it will be solved ;)

It is rare, but possible, that if you use dial up internet, that someone can hack into the modem and make calls to any number worldwide. I am unaware of how it works, but in the paper today actually there was a report of this happening in my neighbourhood.
OllieRocks
22-01-2005, 10:33 PM
Oh and - i didnt even get the credits
OllieRocks
22-01-2005, 10:34 PM
And yes, i do use dial up so it prob is possible!

Thats strange. As everyone else says it would have taken around 3 hours, plus they only let you call up 10 times each day..

BT may have got it wrong.
Contact them?
BlackGarden

It would actually take over 10 and a half hours to make 636 calls, assuming each call lasts one minute.
Janeh: I just looked on the Habbo site and I couldn't find the bit about them only allowing a certain number of calls per day. I'm sure there is though because I'm sure I saw it before. Do you know where it is?

OK Guys, BT said it was a 'Glitch' in their system and are sorry. Plus they will not charge for ANY of the calls made to that number that month (Means the 10 times i did call was free - w00t w00t!)

Cheers

contact BT, if nothing is acheived there, try and pursue legal action, this is alot of money to lose.

DED.MAN.LIVING, I think you posted that RIGHT after i posted that BT said they would not charge me for ALL calls made to that number this month (meaning 100 creds free w00t w00t)
