From BS
There is a scam circulating in the form of a letter (it may also be in email format) which tells the recipient they have been shortlisted to be a "Ring Steward" at the London 2012 Games.
The letter/email informs the recipient that they will be contacted again in due course if the recipient is selected to be a "Ring Steward" and purports to be sent from "Rob Hoekstra, Olympic Selection Committee Chairman" at London 2012.
Recipients are asked to call 0906 200 1036 for any details. This is a scam. Do not provide any of your personal details or pay any money to the people who sent this email.
After seeing this warning Jump-mail did some research and found calls to numbers calling starting 09062 cost a minimum of £1 per minute. Scams such as these work by getting you to contact the number, whose owner then keeps a large percentage of the income from the call charges you are paying.
