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 receiving texts from this specific phone number, and each message costs me £1.50. I have tried texting "stop," but for some reason, the message doesn't go through. My phone provider advised me to send a text saying "stop" to 88222, but that also seems to be unsuccessful.

I continuously receive text messages instructing me to pay an amount ranging from £1.50 to £4, but despite my persistent efforts of replying with the word STOP, it seems to be ineffective in stopping these messages from coming through.

Despite repeatedly responding with STOP, they continue to send unwelcome messages that I don't want. However, these attempts to stop them remain ineffective.

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.

As I logged into my Tesco Mobile account, I was surprised to receive three messages from an unknown sender, charging me £1.50 each. I strongly believe that this is a scam and the people behind it deserve to be reprimanded.

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 intended to register with Stripey Giraffe, yet somehow it linked itself to the hotel Wi-Fi I connected to. Now, I find myself inundated with text alerts I never asked for, along with weekly deductions of £4.50 from my account. Though I blocked the number back in July, the pesky messages have resumed in August. I reported this to O2 back in July, and when I reached out to them again today (22nd August), their so-called fraud team basically shrugged off my plight and claimed they could offer no assistance. They told me I must reach out to the company itself... how absurd! I've made attempts to contact them, but it’s evidently a scam, as they simply won’t halt the notifications. I even tried texting STOP to the number 88222 listed in the messages, and wouldn’t you know it-I got charged just for sending that! It's utterly ridiculous, considering I never opted in, and now O2 seems to be avoiding their responsibility since the charges appear on my monthly bill. Is there anyone out there who can lend a hand or offer some guidance on how to tackle this situation?

I didn’t intend to subscribe to Stripey Giraffe, but it seems to have linked itself to the hotel Wi-Fi I connected to. Now I'm receiving unsolicited message alerts that I never asked for, and they’re taking a £4.50 hit from my account every week. I blocked the number back in July, but lo and behold, the messages reappeared in August. I reported the issue to O2 in July, yet the messages show no signs of stopping. I reached out to O2 again today, 22nd August, only to be told by their fraud team that they can't assist me. It’s a real laugh! I’ve attempted to contact the company directly, but it’s clearly a scam-they just keep sending the alerts. I even tried sending a "STOP" text to the 88222 number provided in the message, only to find myself charged for that too! It’s utterly ridiculous that I never consented to this, and now O2 seems to be shirking their responsibility while the charges keep rolling in on my monthly bill. If anyone has any suggestions or knows how I could tackle this situation, I’d greatly appreciate it!

So, I was trying to sign up for my5 and ended up accidentally joining some company called Stripey Giraffe instead! I called a number to try and halt the account activation. Now, I’m a bit on edge, unsure if the cancellation went through or not, and I’m anxious about the possibility of unexpected charges showing up on my phone bill. Fingers crossed it’s all sorted!

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.

Beware of this fraudulent phone number, as it is an attempt to swindle money. By contacting your mobile account, it imposes a fee of £1.50 and sends a quick code message to 88222. It is crucial not to reply to this message. This scam can be highly risky and should be treated with extreme caution.

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.

This is a complete scam. By some means, the fraudster alleges that you have registered for text messages costing £1.50 each. However, when attempting to text 88222 to STOP, the message does not get delivered.

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.

Be cautious of an untrustworthy giraffe-shaped app that will charge you £4.50 per week through your phone provider. The incident I encountered happened when I was attempting to download the Asda app. Suddenly, a pop-up appeared, which I mistakenly thought was from Asda. However, after clicking on it, I was prompted to enter my phone number. Now, I find myself trapped in a situation where they are taking my money, all while I struggle to prevent further charges by blocking them.

It is imperative that this organization is immediately shut down. Known as Stripey Giraffe, it shamelessly operates as a fraudulent premium service, without any prior request or consent, extracting funds from mobile phone accounts through text messages. It is an unfortunate reality that by the time you realize you have fallen victim to this scam, it is too late to prevent the monetary loss.
