Another Vodafone scam

Watch out for this one - when trying to recharge prepaid sim via vodafone
website, you may find that the transaction fails with the recommendation
that you try again shortly. If you do you WILL be chaged again and so on. I
have been charged 4 times for the one transaction due to a vodafone syatem
fault and now have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get the refund!
Another unethical way to make money especially of people don't check their
transactions.

That's a failing of the website, not a deliberate attempt to scam you.

reminds me of the story where there are women in a shopping centre accosting
men and raping them, taking their wallets.
The bloke reporting it had lost his wallet 5 times that week.
