PurpleHaze420 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 "Steven Topham, 36, manipulated the mobile phone giant's customer credit offer, which rewards you for making purchases. The data network team leader realised he could make orders for Redcar and Cleveland Council, quickly cancel them, and still retain his bonus." I don't really see whats wrong, it's in the realm of grey, yeah sure. But, Vodafone should have had safeguards in place to not allow this anyway surely. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
