01567380029 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01567380029 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number linked to unsolicited premium text message charges of around £4.50 to £9 weekly, often connected to fake prize competitions and subscription services such as "Top Prizes" or companies named Socman Ltd and Switchfire. Victims frequently report difficulty stopping the texts or subscription, with standard STOP commands failing and customer service unresponsive or hostile. The charges typically appear on mobile bills without genuine consent, affecting various UK networks including Vodafone, EE, O2, and Tesco Mobile. Many users advise reporting to Phone Pay Plus, contacting provider fraud departments, and, if necessary, changing phone numbers. Authorities have been urged to intervene, as victims include vulnerable individuals and pensioners, with the general consensus warning against engaging with messages or calling provided numbers.

Beware this number! They send messages that charge you £4.50 each time. I contacted three different mobile providers and they all said it’s not their issue. I think the company behind it also goes by the name tap2bill and uses the shortcode 60336, which charges the same amount per message.

I’m pretty sure Vodafone is involved in this mess. The company used to be called WIN IN LTD, but now they've switched their name to SOCMAN LTD. They seem to keep changing their name every half year or so just to dodge responsibility. They’re sneaky, taking money from us with no punishment at all. If you want to get your cash back, ring Phone Pay Plus on 0300 303 0020 and make a claim.

It seems these folks have full control over the messaging server because when I tried to text STOP to a couple of their numbers, my messages wouldn't send. After that, all the texts that had arrived on my computer disappeared remotely. Then, I got a bunch of messages from the server apologising, saying they couldn’t process my request (I guess that was the STOP message). So basically, the subscriptions will just keep coming with no way to halt them. Honestly, I reckon the only fix is to shut the account, switch to a different server, and grab a new phone number altogether.

I use an Osprey Mini with Mobile BB, so my phone number is through EE (seems like “MobilePhones” is the link here). I’m pretty sure someone’s gotten into my account. These dodgy people are somehow stealing cash straight from the phone bills. The only texts I get on this number are from the EE Billing Team, and I’ve never given this number to anyone else.

I've been getting scammed by these dodgy folks for ages now and Vodafone couldn't care less. I've always paid on time, never missed a single bill with them, but honestly, good luck trying to make your next payment. They keep saying I won't get charged and it's all just a bunch of rubbish.

Yesterday I got scammed by this bogus charity. They took £27 out of my bank account in three separate transactions of £9 each via Three mobile. I never gave them permission or agreed to anything at all.

I got charged by this company too. I immediately contacted Vodafone and they said I’d somehow signed up for a charity, but I swear I never did. When I told Vodafone right away about the charge, they eventually agreed to refund me after I pressed them for proof. They even sent me a confirmation text about the refund. Honestly, it feels like Vodafone are part of the problem since they first refused to help, but only gave in when I demanded evidence. So yeah, if you spot anything odd on your bill, make sure to report it to Vodafone straight away.

I'm a retired person too, and every Tuesday £9 just vanishes from my account. I've done everything I could think of to get it to stop. I even sent a text saying "stop" and got told there would be a fee, so I backed off, but then the messages just got blocked. I rang Vodafone and they told me they can’t do anything because some third party is behind it, but they won’t say who. Feels like they’re just letting this theft go on and don't care about us customers. After being with Vodafone for 25 years, I’m seriously thinking of cancelling my contract because they’re showing no respect or loyalty at all.

I been dealing with this exact issue and called Vodafone about it. They told me they've blocked the number, but then my latest bill arrives and there's another £9 charge added every week. It's really annoying and feels like Vodafone couldn't care less. They promised to refund me £20, but now I'm not seeing anything about it on my recent calls. Honestly, seems like they don't even have a proper handle on this.

I’ve reached out to Vodafone about this four different times already, yet it still keeps charging me £9 every week.

Honestly, it’s so frustrating being hit with a £4.50 fee every time. What kind of miserable existence do these crooks have, stealing cash from others? They should seriously find proper work instead of ripping people off like this. I keep getting messages and getting charged for stuff I never agreed to - it’s well beyond annoying!

Right, instead of just fuming and doing nothing, why don’t we actually take some action? I’ve lost hundreds of pounds to these dodgy scammers. The bloke running this whole thing is called Dace Viesture. The company’s registered at 591 London Road, North Cheam. They’ve set up two firms: Socman Ltd and Mobile Paid Services Helpline. You can check their financial info on the Companies House website. If someone goes to court and claims £5000 (it costs about £185 to do it), we could force them into bankruptcy. If you're interested in teaming up, drop me a line at [email protected].

I’m 70 and on a pension, so there’s no way they should be allowed to tack on an extra £4.50 every week to my phone bill. It doesn’t feel right at all.

I got charged £9 every week by this firm, which used to call from 02035405938. Vodafone refused to give my money back and the company just doesn’t pick up when you ring. I’ve lodged a complaint with Action Fraud and I’d suggest everyone else does the same.

I'm an 82 year old pensioner. Just yesterday I was happily paying £20 a month to stay in touch with my family. But suddenly it's jumped to £60 a month! So in October I switched to an unlimited text and call plan. Then in November, my bill shot up again by £18.40 for texts. That’s almost two days worth of meals I’m losing each week just to cover phone charges. Where’s the consumer protection in all this? Feels like something the Police should get involved with.

So, I got this message on Facebook saying I could win £500 from Tesco or something, and it had a link in it. I contacted Virgin Mobile for help but they just hung up on me. Then I switched to a pay as you go phone, but the texts kept coming through. Someone told me these messages are linked to Virgin somehow. Not sure about all that, but today my phone actually accepted a 'stop' text to the number replying back.

Has anyone managed to get a refund through an appeal? I’m really annoyed because they’ve been taking £9 every week for three months (my pay day sort of masked it, so I didn’t notice how much it added up to).

Im really stressed out because I keep getting texts from this company called Top Prizes, which ive never heard of or signed up for. They keep saying Im "subscribed" and have to pay £4.50 every week, but I never agreed to any of this. I have no idea how they got my phone number. They tell me to text 61991 to stop or ring the number they provide, but its a premium rate number and ive heard people who called still got charged. I only have a £5 goody bag with giffgaff so how can they possibly take money from me through my mobile? Can anyone confirm they cant just keep taking money without my permission?

I’ve been having this exact issue with my TalkTalk bill - they keep charging me £4.50 each month for the past 4 months with no clear reason. I’ve called their helpline loads of times but it’s just the same story over and over, no solution. Honestly, if anyone knows how to sort this out and stop these dodgy charges, I’d be grateful for some tips. Feeling totally stuck with these scammers taking my money.

Got a text saying £4.50 taken from my account, told me to ring to stop it, but no one picks up. The number’s one of those pricey ones and no reply at all. I’ve contacted Tesco to block these expensive calls, but I’m still getting messages saying I’ve won something. Just keeping to delete them all.

They managed to grab £99 from me over just a couple of months. You’d imagine Vodafone would do somethin’ to stop them. Seems pretty dodgy since they’re based in Cheam and even have an address shown?

Be careful with Pornbash, they trick you into charges through your mobile network. It’s a dodgy scam where they sneak payments onto your phone bill without you realising. Stay safe and watch out for it!

About a month ago, I found out I was unknowingly signed up for five entries to some Hot Prizes scam, which ended up charging me £22.50 on my BT mobile bill. Once I caught on, I blocked their number and the reference shown on my BT account. Then I followed their instructions by texting STOP to 85011. They replied saying I wouldn’t be entered into their Hot Prizes contest anymore. I’ve been keeping an eye on my BT mobile charges and thankfully, they seem to have stopped running this scam now. Hope this helps anyone else dealing with the same!

How did I even end up entered to win a prize? I’ve ended up paying £4.50 for something I never asked for. Probably clicked something by accident or just didn’t notice the tiny text somewhere. Honestly, it’s a warning for anyone who’s not careful - always check the fine print, even on your phone. Blimey, not all these things are honest... feels like they’re just trying to take advantage of us.

Over the last couple of months, about £130 has been taken out of my son's account by this company named S Fire or Socman. I got in touch with Vodafone, but they pretty much told me there was nothing they could do. I also tried ringing the company itself, but they're not open until 9am tomorrow. It’s unbelievable how these firms can get away with nicking money from people like this. Mobile networks really should step up and sort this kind of thing out.

My missus got a text saying they were charging £4.50 every month for some sort of registration. It said to text STOP to 89365, but warned it would cost extra. We phoned Virgin, her phone company, and told them it was obviously a scam. They quickly sorted it by blocking all premium numbers from her phone. Fingers crossed that sorts it out!

Seriously, just stop the direct debit straight away with your provider! Whether it’s O2, EE or whoever, they’re the ones taking your cash. Just ring up and cancel the direct debit - honestly, it’s really simple. Before switching to a new company, double check they don’t let this happen too. If loads of people do this, it really makes a difference. Trust me, just cancel your DD now!

Can anyone tell me if calling this number costs anything? I keep getting charged £4.50 each week by a 61991 number and I’m not sure what it's for. I’m a bit suspicious about phoning it back because it might be a scam. Also, I’ve tried texting ‘Stop’ to 61991 loads of times but it never seems to go through.

Since June, my phone bill has been mysteriously increased by around £30-£40 each month, even though I never signed up for anything. I tracked down the above number after calling another unfamiliar number listed on my bill. When I rang the number, the person on the other end claimed to be from a customer service firm representing various internet providers. They discovered I was apparently subscribed to a porn website, which I definitely never did. The agent seemed to understand I was clueless about the subscription and said it was clearly some sort of scam. She promised to look into it by contacting the website and requesting a refund on my behalf. Vodafone have now blocked that number, so I’m just waiting to see if that stops the additional charges.

What a bunch of absolute rotters! This outfit has fleeced my son for a staggering £108 over the past three months and they can’t even be bothered to pick up the bloody phone. Honestly, what a bunch of cowards! As for October’s payment? Forget it, you lot. Stop preying on the young ones-it’s absolutely disgraceful what you’re doing. I hope your own kids aren’t experiencing the same sort of nonsense, but honestly, who knows? Let’s shine a light on your dodgy practices!

Every week I get loads of texts saying I’ve won top prizes from competitions, like at least two messages promising £4.50 a week, but it just seems like a load of rubbish to me. Why are they sending so many messages for such a small amount? Feels a bit dodgy if you ask me.

I keep getting texts telling me I’m being charged £4.50 each week. I replied STOP to 85011 but it hasn’t helped at all. They don’t have my bank details yet money is still coming out of my "buffer". I’m with Tesco (O2) and they say they’ve blocked the number, but clearly it’s still going through. I’m at a loss about what to do next.

This number messaged me privately saying I’d signed up for a £9 a week subscription, which I haven’t. They only stopped when I texted ‘stop’ to a number they sent me. I contacted Vodafone about it, and they said they’d change settings to block these scams, but clearly, it hasn’t helped. I never agreed to anything like this - it’s just ridiculous. Honestly, the people behind this should be locked up. If you get these messages, don’t just reply ‘stop’ straight away.

I’m with EE just for my internet, paying £20 a month, but somehow they’ve been charging me £67 each month instead. Feels like a proper rip-off to me. From what I’ve seen on their community forums, this isn’t an isolated thing - they seem to know it’s happening but aren’t doing much about it. Obviously, it’s making them a nice profit so why would they care? When I confronted EE, they told me I probably hit a button on my laptop by mistake and promised to block my account to prevent it happening again. Bit late for that, isn’t it? They’ve already taken my money and say I can’t have a refund. What I don’t get is how anyone can use the SIM card in my dongle to buy stuff without my say-so. Shouldn’t there be a confirmation step to make sure the customer agrees? If not, it really should be mandatory to ask before charging for something so sneaky.

Oi, can you please stop sending me texts? I'm getting charged for calls I never asked for or even wanted. If you keep ringing me or I get billed again because of your calls, I’ll have to take some proper action. You're ripping people off all over the place and honestly, I’m really fed up with it.

My broadband bill suddenly spiked much higher than usual. After looking into it, I found charges for premium numbers every Monday for a couple of months. My son had a go at blocking them but couldn’t get through to the number 60145 - kept failing. The support line they list is 01567380029 but it’s impossible to get a signal. I tried ringing from my landline and it just kept ringing out. They said they’ll ring back if I call from a mobile, but I don’t use one. I’m in my seventies and my husband’s 81 - we’re really stuck and don’t know what else to do now.

I've also fallen for that M&S ad popping up on Facebook, and now it's come back again today. I reached out to Facebook about it, but no reply so far. Funny thing, if you remove the 'O' from SOCMAN, it spells SCAM - bit obvious once you spot it!

Reading through the posts here reminded me of my own experience. I’m a 74 year old pensioner living on a fixed income, and between 25th July and 16th August, a company named Socman withdrew £19.25 from my EE account without me realising. It’s really upsetting and makes me uneasy that companies can just take money without your clear consent. EE have thankfully blocked them now, but I’m left dealing with the stress of trying to get my money back. I had a chat with someone at Socman who claimed they’d look into it, but honestly, I’m not optimistic. Do you reckon I should report this to the police or maybe trading standards? What would be my best bet?

On August 17th, I noticed a £3.50 charge that I didn't recognise. I contacted EE, who were quite helpful and gave me the contact details for the company involved, including this number and the email [email protected]. It seems the company is operating under the name Switchfire. EE have promised to block any future charges on my account. I've also emailed Switchfire demanding they stop any further billing and refund me. I've warned them that if this isn't sorted, I’ll have no choice but to involve the police as I believe it might be fraudulent.
