02030269521 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02030269521 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving unsolicited premium rate texts charging users around £1.50 per message, often totaling up to £4.50 weekly. Victims frequently receive multiple messages despite replying with "STOP," which itself incurs charges or fails to block the service. Many users were unknowingly subscribed through actions like scanning QR codes or connecting to public Wi-Fi, highlighting deceptive tactics. Phone providers sometimes refund and block these charges, but responses vary and cancellation is often ineffective. The operators remain elusive, making direct contact or refunds difficult. Users are strongly advised not to respond to texts or call numbers provided, to contact their mobile provider to block charges, and report incidents to fraud authorities for protection.

I keep getting texts from this number and each one costs me £1.50. I've tried texting "STOP" but it never goes through. Even my mobile network told me to send "STOP" to 88222 but that message won't send either. It's really frustrating!

I got three messages one after the other that didn’t say a single word, and each one set me back £1.50! Completely livid about it. Who even are these rip-off artists? How do they manage to pull this off without getting caught??

Got a message saying I had signed up for something, which I never did. Don’t want any cash taken from my bank, that’s for sure. They mentioned I’d be charged every month, but this sounds like a total rip-off, maybe even fraud. It’s stressing me out big time, doesn’t help my blood pressure one bit.

This so-called premium SMS thing "Stripey" is totally dodgy. I even sent STOP, but they still went ahead and took the money. I guess I messed up by signing up, but I really hope no one else falls for it. I've contacted my network to make sure it gets blocked for good.

I was just trying to sign into my Tesco Mobile account when suddenly I got hit with 3 texts from some random number charging me £1.50 each time. Honestly, this is an absolute rip-off. These lot should be sorted out, it’s clearly a scam.

Today I got a message from someone called "Stripey". I blame myself really, as I scanned a QR code in a cafe thinking it was the menu. Now I've ended up having to send a cancellation text, which apparently cost me £1.50. I'm going to ring my mobile provider and find out if there's a way to block this sort of thing properly - at least so it doesn't happen to me again.

Dodgy lot, been nicking a bit of dosh from my O2 account every week without me noticing. Only clocked on when my contract was due for an upgrade. Proper sneaky scammers!

These idiots won’t stop texting me at 4 in the morning! They started draining money straight from my phone bill. I contacted my network provider who was able to refund me and block the number, so it’s doable depending on who you’re with. What really baffles me is how they’ve been operating for ages and nobody’s shut them down yet. I filed a report with Action Fraud but they’re still causing trouble. Watch out - if you reply STOP to their texts, they charge you £1.50 on top of the sneaky offers they send. Proper con artists!

I never agreed to join Stripey Giraffe, but somehow it got connected via a hotel wifi network I logged onto. Now, I’m getting texts I didn’t ask for and I’m being charged £4.50 a week. I blocked the number back in July, but the messages just started coming through again this month. I notified O2 in July, but nothing changed, the messages still keep flooding in. I called O2 again on 22nd August, hoping for a fix, but their fraud team told me they can’t do anything and suggested I contact the company myself... bit of a joke really. I’ve tried reaching out to them, but they’re clearly a scam and won’t stop sending these messages. Plus, when I texted STOP to the number in the messages (88222), I was even charged for that! It feels so wrong, especially since I never signed up and O2 just wash their hands of it even though the fees appear on my phone bill. Does anyone have any advice on what to do next?

I never agreed to join Stripey Giraffe but somehow it got linked to a hotel Wi-Fi I used. Now I’m getting messages I never asked for and they’re taking £4.50 every week. I blocked the number back in July but the messages started flooding in again this August. I reported it to O2 in July too. I called O2 again today (22nd August) and the fraud team just said they can’t do anything and told me to speak to the company instead... yeah right! I tried reaching out to them but it’s obviously a scam and the messages just won’t stop. I even texted STOP to the 88222 number on the messages and they charged me for sending that! Seems really unfair as I never signed up and now O2 just wash their hands of it since it’s on my phone bill. Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

I reported it to O2 in July, but it didn’t stop. Today (22nd August), I rang O2 again, and this time their fraud team just said they can’t do anything and that I should deal with the company myself. Ha! I’ve tried to reach out, but it looks like a total scam. Even when I texted STOP to the 88222 number from the message, I got charged for that text! It’s so frustrating because I never signed up for this, yet it’s coming off my O2 bill and they won’t take responsibility. Has anyone been through this or know what I could do? Would really appreciate some advice.

While trying to sign up on my5, I accidentally ended up subscribing to something called Stripey Guraffe. I phoned a number to try and cancel the activation, but I’m not certain if they actually stopped it. Now I’m a bit anxious that I might still get random charges added to my phone bill.

0203069521 88222. Got this message sayin I'm signed up to Stripey Offers.com, charging me £1.50 each alert up to £4.50 a week unless I text STOP to 88222. Help? 02030269521. This seems dodgy, can someone please verify if this is a scam or not? It's really confusing!

I never agreed to join stripey, yet I keep receiving messages saying if I text STOP to 88222 I can end the subscription. Thing is, the message never gets sent properly. The number seems dodgy to me, so how do I actually stop this and stop them taking £4.50 out of my account every week? These constant texts are really annoying.

Dodgy lot, took cash claiming I’d subscribed to some costly text service. After looking them up, I set my phone to only allow a tiny extra spend. These people are basically thieves, and good luck trying to find their address if you want to take legal action. Don’t try contacting them at all. If you're on PAYG like me, just restrict your spending or, better yet, get a new number.

Was having a go at downloading the Wetherspoons app, but somehow I accidentally signed up for something called Stripey Giraffe instead. The number started bombarding me with texts warning about a £1.50 fee for each message, so I blocked it pretty quick. Had a look at my bank today and thankfully nothing’s been taken yet. I’m planning to drop them an email too, just to make sure it’s cancelled for good.

So, I followed the instructions and texted STOP to quit getting messages, but then I noticed a charge of £1.50 on my phone bill for 6 texts sent to 88222. I called up Sky Mobile to sort it out, and they said they’d take the charge off now. Bit annoying, but at least it’s getting fixed.

Honestly, these are just complete con artists. I think it started after I got the Royal Mail app on my phone. So, I decided to message them back and asked if they could show me a picture of any contract I supposedly agreed to. Naturally, they couldn’t provide anything since it was all a load of rubbish. Anyway, the good news is I’m sorting out getting my money back.

I keep getting calls from 0203 026 9521 about some Stripes offers, telling me to call them back if I want to stop it. Seems a bit dodgy like a bank scam to me.

Feels like they’re harassing people, and honestly, it might be risky too.

Stripey Giraffe needs to be closed down right now! They’re running a scam under the name of some “premium party” that nobody asked for, sneaking into your phone and firing off messages that drain your mobile credit.
