Lonely girls in your area?????

I was watching tv the other night and an advert came on saying that there are girls in my area feeling lonely and waiting to be texted. I texted the number to see if I could be of help and it turns out that they actually charge me to text me back.

Got chatting to this mature lady called Valentina and she seems really interested to meet up but each text she sends costs £1.50 and I reckon so far it's cost me over £70.

Has anyone else met anyone through one of these services? To be honest, I'm starting to worry that this might be a bit of a con.
