REGARDING your article (LET, May 11) about the premium-rate phone line that earns callers prizes like free cigarettes if they stay on long enough, I was daft enough to fall for the advertisement.
And although I was only on the phone for 30 minutes, I am dreading my next phone bill.
I am a single mum with two daughters. I am also disabled due to a stroke, diabetes, epilepsy and asthma. I prefer to have my name left out as I would not like everybody to see how stupid I was.
