Company charging money for a phone interview

Hi everyone, I got a random call today from a recruitment agency who saw my cv on total jobs and offered me a phone interview. Although in their disclaimer form they say they charge £1.53 per minute during the phone interview. This seems pretty dodgy to me so I wanted to get other peoples take on it?

Totally dodgy. No genuine business recruits like this.

Run................basically it seems like these interviews are totally fake and long winded. And they make their money through these premium phone calls, I suggest you report them to totaljobs.

Don't do it. No company is going to charge you for it, especially not a recruitment agency who earn their money via finding you work. They wouldn't implement a policy that would push potential customers away.
