    the biggest scam I ever saw was Play TV. Wasn't stupid enough to fall for it, thankfully. I'd be happy to discuss Play TV on your show, send me a PM if interested.

    How much are you paying for the interviews?

    I must agree with the previous poster. If you want to investigate a scam, Leah, you should look closer to home with PlayTV. I think there has been a huge amount of people conned out of money by them.

    You should contact the people who got scamed by those ads you run, you know the ones when you text the answer to a question but you are automatically subscribed so that they take €3 every couple of days from the credit in your phone.

    Ah, Boards.ie.
    HOME of TV3 research and journalism. Maybe this should be moved to AH :)

    Leah, fair play to you for putting yourlf in the firing line here. I know that as a researcher you are not making the big decisions about TV3 policy and programming, so please don't take this personally.

    I have to agree with the other posters, however. A station that runs ads for "psychics" and hosts Play TV is hardly anyone's top choice for a show about scams.

    im basicly trying to email you about a job you have offered on line. Here is the jest of the email i sent.:

    Dear Emma

    I recently found an advertisement on line (www.castingzone.ie) and wandered if you could submit me in to your entry process. I have included some head shots and would look forward to a replay as to whether or not i could fit in to your vision.

    Regards

    Anthony Heaney

    Any chance you could get back to me and let me know please

    Hi Leah, a bit OT.
    I wish Tv3 would investigate salaries in RTE and how our licence fee is spent, the biggest scam/fraud going if you ask me.
