Reports on phone number 01494400138
10 yearsReceived an odd text from someone claiming to be Amy early doors on Saturday. Just now, I've had a message about some technical glitch. We haven't enrolled in anything or taken part in any competitions, mind you. As soon as I track down this number, I’m certain there’s someone responsible for this who I can approach for a refund, as it strikes me as nothing short of a scam!Amy10 years"Recently, you might have received a text from 85222 owing to a technical glitch. I want to extend my apologies for this and assure you of an immediate refund. Kindly call 01494400138. However, we are rather sceptical about that!"10 yearsWe've been getting these calls as well, but it's peculiar because they started coming in just after we sent a text to enter a competition linked to Channel 5’s Gadget Show! Has anyone else experienced something similar?Channel 510 yearsAs an O2 subscriber, I received the exact same messages. I’d entered a gadget competition a little while back and had completely forgotten about it. Just gave the number from the text a ring using a landline, and it prompted me to send them my details via email - name, address, and the like. I reckon I’ll contact the number listed on the Phonepayplus website as well. By the way, a shoutout to Jon for sharing his info above; it’s been a real help. At least my girlfriend trusts me now that she's had a look at this discussion! Cheers, everyone!PhonepayplusJon10 yearsI've received the same messages as well. It's a shame you can incur charges just for receiving a text, and unfortunately, it's unclear how to reclaim that. We never intentionally subscribe to those SMS quiz services or anything similar, yet we keep getting these messages from premium rate numbers that cost anywhere from £1.50 to £2.50 each time! In total, it adds up to about £10 every month, and it seems there's absolutely nothing we can do to stop it!11 yearsReceived a message about a new smartphone camera claiming to be 'from Amy', complete with a link. Upon visiting the site, I found it was showcasing semi-nude images of someone named 'Amy'.Amy11 yearsI've received the same messages repeatedly. I'll have a look at my statements as soon as I get a moment. Still, I can't help but question how these folks can bill for texting without consent. Definitely steer clear of calling that number!11 yearsWe’ve received both of the aforementioned messages as well, and it seems we've been billed £1.28 for the SMS from Amy. We’re also guessing we might face a charge for the technical fault message as well. We’ve been in touch with O2, but they’ve been rather unhelpful, refusing to issue a refund and informing us that they can't halt the sender. Is there anyone out there who knows how to stop these nuisances from coming through?Amy11 yearsI stumbled upon this link: www.phonepayplus.org.uk/numberchecker/ComplaintForm_Numbercheck.asp, which appears to provide comprehensive details about various companies. Looks like I know exactly who I'll be having a chat with come tomorrow!11 yearsWe've received both of those messages as well and noticed we've been hit with a charge of £1.28 on our statement for the text from Amy. We presume we're going to be charged similarly for the other technical error message. We've had a chat with O2, and unfortunately, they’re not willing to issue a refund, claiming they can't stop the sender either. Is there anyone out there who knows how to block these annoying messages from coming in?Amy11 yearsWe received the exact same text message, and as we’re with O2, this is simply not on.11 yearsWe've also received that technical fault notification just now. Earlier, we shot off a text to enter the Gadget Show Competition, making sure it went to 85222. It seems plausible enough, but we're a bit apprehensive about giving it another shot. Perhaps Channel Five could shed some light on this, seeing as that was their SMS number for the contest. Any thoughts, anyone?Channel Five11 yearsI dropped a message on that number yesterday and got a call this afternoon from a chap who was quite contrite. He explained there’d been a mix-up with a text and that we should be expecting a refund via postal order. Seems alright, I suppose. I’ll have a look at the post tomorrow and find out! By the way, it's with O2.12 yearsJust received a message from "Amy" that looks exactly the same as the previous one. They took £1.50 for it, and now I’ve got another text saying ‘call me for a refund.’ By the way, we’re also with O2 over here.Amy12 yearsI recently received a text message from 85222, citing a technical glitch. I want to express my concern and seek an instant refund. If anyone else has had the same message, particularly the one from AMCC, it really raises suspicion. Definitely feels like a scam to me! Be cautious, everyone!AMCC12 yearsRecently, I received a text from 'chat to Amy' and now I've just got one suggesting a refund. There’s absolutely no chance I’m calling them! Interestingly, I've noticed another discussion here about folks being hit with a charge of £1.50 for the Amy message. Since I'm on a contract, I won't really know for sure until my bill arrives. If I find I’ve been charged, what steps can I take to reclaim that amount?Amy12 yearsI recently received a text from the number 85222, and I’m a bit concerned about its authenticity. Apparently, there's been some sort of technical glitch, and they mentioned something about offering a refund. They’ve asked me to call 0149400138. Does anyone know if this is genuine? I’d appreciate any insights!12 yearsI've received the messages as well. Does anyone happen to know the way to opt-out? I'm using O2 on a pay-as-you-go plan.12 yearsDid it seem like everyone was on the O2 network, or was I just imagining it?O212 yearsI've received the exact same messages. It's a bit of a shock to find out you might incur fees just for receiving a text! Sadly, it seems tricky to figure out when you can reclaim those costs. We're always careful to avoid signing up for those SMS-based quizzes and the like, yet we continuously end up with messages from premium rate numbers that charge us 150p or even 250p per text. It tends to rack up to around £10 a month, and we feel utterly powerless to stop it!Submit Your Own Report (01494 400138)
