The BBC's Watchdog program exposed 2 sites offering telephone advice lines that charge people £1.50/min for info that is freely available elsewhere. Several people claiming child benefit have been charged up to £28 for these phonecalls, and Wacthdog are struggling to get the sites closed down.. Can we help them by marking the 2 sites below red please.
child-benefit.org.uk ( child benefit advice)
ukpi.org ( passport advice)

"Dead" links?
Just curious Colin . , . didn't see those "dead" links on those sites. The only link I saw was an identity theft link . . . is that what you were referring to, or did I miss something?
BTW, this has nothing to do with the lack of virtue to the sites or the poor behavior shown . . . as I said, I'm just curious.

Links
The links on the home page are brown, and with the genuine site lead to further information, on these two sites they are not linked as they should be 
Example of genuine site:
