Anyone been a victim of Mobile Phone Fraud and did you get your money back? The phone company are insisting I pay for it at the moment but I am sure I will be able to negotiate. My phone was nicked and used to call premium rate numbers in Senegal and Azerbaijan. Hundreds of pounds. I wouldn't mind but I didn't even get to hear the tips!

barry, there was a story in the guardian last week about the very same thing. Guy got his phone nicked on holiday and it was used to ring up a bill of 20 grand - phone company insisted he should pay up.

the bassstards don´t care about the customer, only making more dosh.

My scenario is almost identical. Pocket picked on la rambla. "Only" £900 for me though.

I must have been lucky barry, got me phone nicked out of my pocket two streets behind Rambla on Wednesday. According to my phone company there was no activity thereafter.

hopefully too busy eyeing the photos of my gf...
