Please press #1 to find out if your loved one has been splattered across a London suburb.

Imagine that you are the friend or relative of one of the people who may have been caught in the London bombings last week.

What kind of anguish would you be feeling? The uncertainty of whether they are alive, dead or are currently wandering around with no knowledge of who they are due to the brain trauma that could be caused by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now imagine the anger that you'd be feeling when you discovered that the helpline set up to help find people caught up in the bombings is costing you 40 pence a minute.

This is NOT a joke.

Any reason or excuse that the company in charge or the Government comes up with will not be good enough.

Profiting from the dead has reached a new low.
