I keep getting charged every week, does anyone know how I can put a stop to this?

Just looked at my phone bill and noticed a £9 charge for three texts from 85878, which caught me off guard. After digging around on some forums, it turns out it's a scam. I’m planning to get in touch with my provider, TalkTalk, about this. Honestly, I had no clue that companies could bill you for texts they send out. I even tried blocking those numbers after the first message came through but still ended up getting charged. Like someone else here said, this is straight up theft and I’m not going to just let it slide.

Somethin like this happened to me too. I got loads of texts and just deleted them without replying. Turns out, I got charged £3 every time for those messages! I rang my mobile company and asked them to block the number so it can’t come through again.

Got one of these texts just now! What on earth?!

If you get a spam message saying you're signed up for a £3 weekly fee, just don’t respond. The best thing to do is report it to your mobile provider and ask if they can block those messages from coming through. After that, either delete it straight away or add the number to your block list. Ignoring it is the safest bet!

Just text them "stop" and they usually leave you alone after that.

Got hit with an extra £16 on my phone bill and I don't even visit any adult websites or anything like that. Really puzzled where the charge came from.

I’ve received more than ten texts from this company, and each time I’ve been charged over £3 plus VAT - seems like they’re making you pay to receive their messages, which is pretty cheeky. The message says to text 85878 to opt out, but whenever I try, it just says my message wasn’t delivered. I called the number 01244459699 and spoke to someone who was no help at all. They insisted I’d signed up to their service, which isn’t true - it’s a dodgy adult site. They took down my number and promised to unsubscribe me within 24 hours, but I’m seriously doubtful. The person refused to give their name or any company info, which just feels sketchy. Has anyone got a clue if you can get your money back from this? I’ve already contacted my network, Vodafone, who said they’d block further texts from them, but I’m still getting messages. Not too pleased with Vodafone’s handling of this either.

Got a message saying I’m signed up to celltaunbabes and they’ll charge me £3 every week unless I text stop to 85878. The thing is, I never signed up for anything like this! How come they can just start billing without asking me first? It’s really not on.

I found out that this number is linked to a firm named Digitaun Ltd, located at Herons Way Chester Business Park in Chester, England, postcode CH4 9QR. Their company registration number is 08232329, although it seems there’s been a suggestion to remove them from the register. The person in charge of Digitaun Ltd for over three years now appears to be Mr Hitesh Modi, who lives at 20 Ames Close, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU3 4AS, here in the UK.

This number claims to be a "help" line that apparently collects messages and forwards them to their "support team," who are meant to remove your number from certain lists. These lists seem to target unsuspecting people who have unknowingly subscribed to dubious paid services. The terms they use are ridiculously broad, basically giving them free rein to sign you up for any service they like, provided they send you a text saying you’ve "subscribed." Then, in the text, they offer a chance to opt out by replying "Stop" to a premium rate number, which means you'll be charged just to unsubscribe. They also provide another number (01244 459699) to call for help. Honestly, this kind of thing needs to be regulated much more strictly to stop these rip-offs.

I keep getting texts from this number and have no clue who it could be. I don’t really want to call it back though, in case they hit me with some ridiculous charges or something. Anyone got tips on how to find out who this number is without ringing?

I just noticed £3 missing from my phone balance and honestly, I have no clue who these people are or how on earth they got hold of my number.

I got a random text out of nowhere telling me to text WANT to 67891 to get "action" and "hot babes". They also dropped this number 01244459699 for help, which is a bit strange. Honestly, I’m really not into this kind of spam and wish it would just stop without me having to reply STOP or anything like that!!
