The Equalizer

Welcome to the first post of the Equalizer. Also known as Gordon's Rant, it has but one purpose - to put the world to rights.

Anything that bugs you, feel free to post it here. My particular interests at the moment are spam emails (especially phishing), "silent phone calls" using predictive dialling software, automated telephone "helpdesk" menus, expensive credit cards, advertising on the BBC, ripoff ISPs and scams of all sorts. All right, I'm a grumpy old man.

The Rules of The Equalizer:
Matters will be exposed to the world in generic terms only, with sufficient detail to describe the injustice, absurdity or pointlessness of something, but not enough to identify who the culprit is (we know there's two sides to every story, right?).
Then we contact the culprit and alert them that they've been rumbled. We give them sufficient time to clean up their act, and only when they don't do we name and shame.

Idiots of the world, you have been warned!

That said, now let's begin, and put the world to rights....
