01618841078 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618841078 👆 is reported as a fraudulent and unsolicited source of premium-rate text messages, often linked to entities named Glamour Hunnies or Total Solve. Many users receive repeated chargeable texts without consent, typically around £2.50 to £3 weekly, leading to unexpected deductions on their phone bills. The operation appears to exploit loopholes with mobile providers, causing significant distress, especially to vulnerable individuals. While refunds have occasionally been obtained by directly contacting the reported number, consumers are frequently advised to proceed cautiously when providing personal details. Mobile networks generally do not refund these charges and recommend blocking premium messaging services. The company behind these messages is reportedly dissolved, complicating reimbursement efforts. Users are encouraged to report such activity to the Phone-paid Services Authority, their network, and law enforcement to help mitigate the issue.

I got a call from some bloke abroad asking if I’d been in a crash that wasn’t my fault. I was a bit puzzled, said no, then ended the call. Best to just steer clear of this number, seriously.

Over the past seven months, I've been stung for more than £80 by this very same con. I've tried ringing and emailing them loads, but not a single word back.

Here's the link to the company info: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07984062

Turns out, the company was marked as Dissolved on 24th January 2017.

Does that mean we're out of luck when it comes to reclaiming the money? Anyone got any idea?

Has anyone here actually managed to get a refund from this lot? For ages I kept telling my partner to check his Vodafone bill cos it was way higher than expected, but he never bothered. He just thought his lad was using up all the allowance. Then one day I decided to ring Vodafone myself and found out this company had been charging him around £15 every month since June 2015 through text messages! The trouble was, I’d told him not to reply to those texts - thought they were phishing or some scam trying to verify his number for selling on. We managed to get Vodafone to block the number and stop other pricey texts come January 2017, and they told us to claim the money back from Zamano. Problem is, nobody picks up the phone when you ring 0161 884 1078. Has anyone else had any luck with this? Cheers, Michelle.

I really don’t get how they manage to take money from us without asking first? Surely the mobile companies have to be part of this somehow, otherwise it doesn’t make sense. So many folks are moaning about the same thing, yet no one seems sure what service they’re actually billing for. It’s proper mysterious!

First, I reached out to my phone provider, but they pretty much shrugged it off and said it wasn’t their issue. They happily took the money from my bank for these scammers but refused to give it back. I even told them that by allowing this, they’re basically helping criminals, which is illegal, and if I had to report it, I’d make that fact known. Then I got in contact with Total Solve, who promised to refund me straight away. But since I sent them my Paypal info, they’ve gone silent. Just sent another email warning that if I don’t get a reply soon, I’ll be reporting them to the PSA and the police.

How is it even lawful for these lot to just blatantly take money off people? It really boggles me that these greedy crooks can carry on with it without any consequences. What’s happening with the so-called officials who are meant to be stopping this rubbish? They ought to be found and shut down properly, but only after they've paid back everyone they cheated.

For months now Ive been getting loads of annoying texts from somewhere called Glamourbunnies, and ive never signed up for anything like that! Theyve been sneaking £3 out of my bank every week for nearly 4 months. Since I pay my phone bill by direct debit, I didn't really check my statements as the amount was always the same, until last month when I spotted an extra £15 charge. After digging around, I found out that these texts were coming from a number starting with 85878. I've just sent them a message saying STOP, hoping it’ll stop the messages, and im planning to get in touch with them too to ask for my money back. Honestly, its heartbreaking how many dodgy, money-hungry businesses there are out there, especially when most of us are struggling just to get by...

I'm not sure if this has been resolved already, but just a heads up - your service provider won’t be able to cancel this for you. It’s definitely a dodgy scam, so keep a close lookout on your next few bills. I manage some of my partner’s business accounts and spotted these charges on one of their company lines - about £18 added up over a few months. I rang the number they gave and expressed my dissatisfaction, and the rep quickly offered a refund either by PayPal or cheque within a week. I actually got a cheque for £33 just three days after the call, which was quite unexpected. Honestly, it’s really strange that this hasn’t caught the attention of the authorities yet. The person on the phone said we’re now unsubscribed, even though we never actually signed up in the first place! Fingers crossed others catch onto this scam early by checking their bills and stumble across forums like this to stay informed. Good luck everyone!

So, I began receiving messages from 85878, but I never opened any or clicked any links. Then I saw £3.00 appeared on my bill each time! I didn’t text back STOP because I figured it was some sort of scam and worried about being charged for that too. When I got in touch with Three, they told me I’d get my money back if I was charged for sending STOP. Fingers crossed these dodgy messages stop showing up now.

Got a message from 85878 claiming I’d signed up to glamourhunnies.com, but I definitely didn’t. They took £3.50 straight off my phone credit, and when I tried ringing to sort it out, they charged me another £3.50! Proper nasty scam. I’m sitting here in a hospice with a terminally ill family member, and the person I spoke with just thought it was funny, even laughed. Absolutely disgusting place.

Got two messages from GlamourHunnies and later saw on my phone bill that each one cost me £2.50! I rang the number given and they said they’d send a cheque back to me as a refund, claiming I must’ve signed up for some premium service. But nowhere did those texts say anything about a service or charges. Feels like a proper rip-off. Fingers crossed they actually send that refund.

So, I kept getting texts from this "glamour hunnies" thing, and each one was costing me £3.00! I went down to Vodafone to sort it out, and they told me I’d somehow signed up to a subscription. They rang the number for me, and it connected to this company called Total Solves, which I’d never heard of before. They asked for all my info, which I thought was dodgy, like a trick to steal my details. They said it was to process my refund though. I warned them they had my info through shady means and now I’m just waiting to see what happens next.

I keep getting a text every week from this number claiming to be Total Video Services. I’ve tried texting STOP to 88108 but it never seems to go through. I’m going to check with my phone provider to see if they’ve actually taken any money out of my credit. There’s got to be a way to put a stop to this con. I had a look online and there are loads of complaints about these scammers, mostly bad reviews, though a few good ones pop up which I reckon are fake, probably from them or people working for them. Here’s an idea - why not label these companies as terrorist supporters or something, maybe that would make the authorities finally take notice and do something about it. It’s awful to think there must be elderly people or those who don’t understand tech being ripped off without realising.

Had a look at my phone bill and noticed an extra charge of £20 for some services called total solves and total bunnies, which I've never come across before. I rang EE, and they told me they couldn't give me a refund but have stopped the services. Since then, I've been trying to contact the company behind these charges but haven’t had any luck so far. They did give me a website URL, [email protected], which apparently manages the service gateway. I called their free number, and they helped by giving me the contact numbers of the companies and also blocked any future calls from them.

Today, I got a message from these guys saying I’d signed up for the Total Solves video service, costing £3 a week. I checked my O2 account straight away and saw they’d been charging me £3 every week for a month, and this was the first I’d heard about it. I have no clue how I ended up subscribed, so I rang O2 who then put me through to the company. O2 warned me not to give my bank details and suggested I get a refund by cheque instead, which they promised would arrive in a couple of weeks. Not long after, I got another text saying I’d been unsubscribed.

My kid was getting these absolutely inappropriate messages from glamourhunnies, and we were really annoyed that stuff like that was aimed at children. They were random texts on a pay-per-message basis, no warning or consent. Tried to find out from Total Solve how this even happened, but they just gave me a refund and no proper answers. Fed up, I decided to track down the IP hosting the website by googling the site name along with "IP address" and then reported them to the hosting company's abuse team. Just heard back that the site’s been taken down now, but I reckon it'll pop up somewhere new soon enough!

Got a message from these lot on Saturday. I’m really starting to question what the phone providers are actually doing to stop this kind of scam. Seems like nada. They only seem to act when it hits them in the wallet, then they bother putting measures in place. I’m going to get in touch with Total Solves video service later and try to get this sorted. If they try telling me it’s just a mix-up like others have said, I’ll ask them for their address so the police can pop round and help them fix their so-called IT problems. Pretty sure they won’t be handing that info over though.

They then directed me to TOTAL SOLVE LIMITED at 01618841078. I raised a complaint, and they said they’ve unsubscribed me and will refund all the money taken. If you want to stop these muppets taking your cash, text STOP to 88150, or ring them like I did - hopefully, you’ll get your money back. Have a look for 700383864 too.

These fools managed to scam me too, charging me £3 every week for nearly two months. I was never told how to stop the texts until just last week, and even after I sent the STOP message, the messages kept coming and I got charged again. I phoned them up and insisted they cancel my subscription and give me a refund. They said they’d call back today, but I’m not getting my hopes up. They also wanted my email, which seemed pointless, so I didn’t share it - didn’t want to get spammed on top of this. Never heard of them before and definitely never signed up for anything.

Received a message saying there was a £3 weekly fee. I asked for my money back. Since it was after hours, the complaint was logged and they told me someone would ring me tomorrow to sort the refund.

Guess I’ll wait and see what comes of it.

Then later got another from same number about hunnies or somethin. Never signed up for any of it so just ignored but now they took £2.50 from my account. Not happy!

I just received a message saying I'll be billed £3.00 unless I reply with "stop". Someone told me not to reply with stop because these scammers then know my number is active. Honestly, why do the authorities or the government allow these crooks to keep getting away with this? It’s so frustrating... why won’t something be done?

Just had a chat with these lot about some dodgy video subscription they reckoned I signed up for. They're sorting me a refund through PayPal now. You can hear it's a buzzing call centre with loads of voices in the background. Definitely gonna report this number.

So, got a call from this number at like half six in the morning, which struck me as weird. I figured it’d just be one of those automated out-of-office replies, but nope, someone actually picked up. I gave them some info and they mentioned they'd forward it to their main office. Now I’m just waiting to see what happens next.

I've been getting messages saying my £3 weekly subscription to glamourhunnies is switching to shortcode 85878. They tell me to text STOP to 85878 if I want out and give a phone number for help, 01618841078. Honestly, how come these crooks haven’t been shut down yet? So many complaints have been made but nothing seems to change!

These crooks deserve to be nailed, honestly. Instead of just texting, give them a call and demand not only your cash back but also covering any costs caused.

Give them a bell on this number and say you think the cash was taken without your permission and ask for your money back (they'll know the exact sum). They’ll probably suggest sending a cheque or using PayPal. I went for PayPal myself cos it meant I didn’t have to share my address too. Afterwards, make sure you report it to 0800 500 212 so they can block those numbers from messaging you again.

I gave them a ring and they promised to sort the refund right off. It's mad how they manage to pull this kind of stunt, especially since, like others have mentioned, loads of folks probably wouldn’t bother chasing it up. Proper idiots.

Just got a message saying I've signed up for a video service costing £3 a week. No way am I paying that! I'll be ringing them up in a minute.

I called them to find out why I'd been billed for a service I never agreed to, and just like others have said, a woman on the line told me it might’ve been an error. She took down my details and promised to send a refund by cheque. The cheque arrived around a week later but was £3 less than it should have been - didn’t bother making a fuss though. Honestly, they’re just dodgy types; I'd guess a lot of people just send a 'stop' text and never chase the money back!

Does anyone know why phone firms aren’t putting a stop to these sorts of companies? Seems like they should be doing something about it.

I just gave them a ring and had a chat with a lovely woman. She mentioned it might've been something I accidentally accepted or clicked on while browsing online. She asked for a few details and said they'll sort out a refund for me.

Today I got a text from a short 5 digit number, 85878, so I decided to call their helpline on 0161 to find out what was going on. I asked what charges were being made and how I ended up signed up, but the lady on the phone seemed unsure herself. She said her job was mainly to refund people who called about these texts. At first she only offered to cancel my subscription, but when I pressed about a refund, she said they would sort it and promised to call me back. They actually phoned me later, got my address and said they’d send a cheque soon. I discovered they’d charged me about £60 over quite a while without me realising. It’s clearly a dodgy scheme just to rake in money. Don’t reply to their texts, just give the 0161 helpline a ring. Hope this helps someone avoid the same mess.

i got the exact issue with these guys too. i called up o2 and they passed me on to phone pay plus at 0800 500 212. phone pay plus is kinda like ofcom but for premium-rate numbers. they were really good and helpful, fingers crossed they sort these dodgy callers out properly...

I’ve been getting messages from Total Solve saying it’s £3 a week and to text STOP to cancel. I’m with Giffgaff using a goodybag and usually keep some credit on there. Somehow these texts have used up my credit without me agreeing, and the sender number isn’t included in my goodybag deal. I don’t have any contract, so I was wondering if I just let my credit run out, will they stop sending these charges?

I've been getting loads of texts about subscriptions I never signed up for, trying to take money from me. The latest one says: Your subscription to glamourhunnies at £3 a week is moving to shortcode 85878. To unsubscribe, text STOP to 85878. SP:TotalSolve. IF YOU NEED HELP CALL 01618841078. It's really frustrating because they've already taken cash from me before. I seriously need a way to block these scammers for good. I’m really annoyed and want my money returned, and those crooks punished for what they’re doing.

I keep getting these free messages, but then they charge me £3 every week. I texted "stop" to 85878 and got a message back saying it was cancelled. Yet, after a couple of weeks they start sending them again. The number that keeps showing up just says error on my phone.

Got a text that said something like, "FreeMsg: You’re signed up to Total Solves video service at £3 per week until you text stop to 85878. HelpLine 01618841078 16+ only." I did what T-Mobile suggested and sent “STOP ALL” to 85878 straight away. T-Mobile told me that this service was operated by a company called “VIP Messages” with the website http://www.vipmsg.mobi/ but when I tried it, no site came up. They also gave me a contact number for VIP Messages: 0120 244 3333. Right after I sent the stop message, I got a confirmation saying I was unsubscribed from everything. T-Mobile have now blocked me from getting any of these “third party” texts like this, which I requested. Now I’m just waiting to see if my next bill shows any charges from this lot.
