02030533541 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02030533541 👆 is reported as a scam linked to unsolicited magazine subscriptions, often promoted via cold calls under the guise of a £1 trial. Customers struggle to cancel due payments of around £40 for unwanted magazines, facing unreachable phone lines and unresponsive emails. Many report unauthorised direct debits, difficulty obtaining refunds, and poor customer service with calls abruptly ended. The company behind these calls appears to operate under multiple magazine titles and aliases, causing confusion and distress. Affected individuals frequently need to involve their banks to block payments and consider reporting to Action Fraud. Caution is strongly advised to avoid falling victim to misleading trials that lead to unexpected charges and problematic cancellations.

I've tried loads of times to stop the magazine but even after cancelling the direct debit, the issues keep turning up at my door. I've even sent them back with a note telling them I don't want any more and to stop sending, but they just keep arriving. Honestly, I'm so fed up with seeing them all the time now!

This number called me saying I’d won some kind of prize from a word game but then they ended up taking over £40 from my bank without my proper consent. When I tried to email them to stop the direct debit, I just couldn’t get any reply. Feels like they pressured me into it. Honestly, watch out for this one, it’s definitely a scam. 😡😡😡

Loads of people say it’s a scam, and in just three weeks, they’ve taken 120 quid from my account. I got in touch with the bank’s policy team to look into it and have my account frozen. Don’t bother trying again, and I’m after every penny back. I’ve already reported it all.

Money’s been disappearing from my account and I keep trying to ring them, but no one ever picks up. It’s obvious they’re scammers. Fortunately, I managed to get my bank involved and they’ve blocked any further withdrawals.

Today I gave them a ring and got told to email enquiries @shoelanepress for a refund. I also stopped the direct debits, as I was proper shocked they’d already taken the money. It’s really harsh to do that, especially with everything going on in this pandemic or honestly anytime.

I got a phone call and ended up being billed over £40. Luckily, because I used my credit card, the bank sorted it out and gave me my money back. The problem now is that I keep getting this magazine called Good for You each month, which I didn’t ask for. I want to stop it but there’s no address or phone number for the company. I think it’s from Culinary Collections but I’ve not been able to find any contact details for them.

This number seems to be tied to several companies, offering magazines like "The Critic", "Perspective", and "Puzzled". They're all run by a firm called Aditus, who cold call people to push magazine subscriptions.

When they contact you, it sounds like the usual "3 months for £1 trial" offer that plenty of mags have. I got a call about "Perspective" and went ahead with the trial.

On 9th November, they took the £1 payment and sent the magazine, which was fine. But the very next day, two direct debits showed up on 10th November - one for £35.99 for a 6-month subscription to "Perspective" and another for £40.99 for "Puzzled" - a magazine I never ordered and frankly have no interest in as puzzles aren’t my thing.

Now I’m stuck sorting out a refund through my bank since trying to get hold of the companies is pointless.

This whole thing feels like a rip-off. Stay away from this number!!!

For the past couple of days, I've been attempting to get through to them. Every time I wait ages on the line, they just suddenly say 'goodbye' and hang up. I've also tried calling different numbers and emailing them, but nothing works. It's really upsetting - I don’t understand how a company like this can still be operating when they’re causing so much distress. - Mrs Pe Ripton

This company called me out of the blue, and I only signed up for a single trial magazine costing £1. Then I got the magazine and a letter saying they’d soon be taking £1 plus £39.99 from my bank account, plus more payments after that, unless I rang to cancel. But every time I tried to call, there was no answer. So I sent them an email instead. My bank told me that on the same day as the call, three direct debits from firms I didn’t know had appeared on my account. I put a stop to them and reported Shoe Lane Press to Action Fraud. I’d say if you get anything similar, you should report it too.

I’m a mum of four and noticed £40.99 was withdrawn from my account by Shoe Lane Press without me agreeing to it. I called them up, and they promised to give me my money back in 7-10 days, but I still haven’t got anything. Really frustrated! I keep trying to get through to them on the phone but no luck so far.

I got a call from this number after receiving an email saying they'd take £1 for a puzzle magazine and then £39.99 by direct debit on 24th August 2020. Problem is, my bank says the direct debit isn’t even set up yet, so I can't stop it! I have a feeling they won’t actually set it up until right before the date, and maybe it’ll be under a different name too. I’m quite old and was convinced by a friendly young woman who promised I’d only be charged £1 if I cancelled in time. Now, trying to reach Shoe Lane Press is impossible, it’s always customers on the line. They just tell me to block via my bank, but that's no use if the direct debit hasn't been arranged yet!

Someone called me trying to sell me a wordsearch and a sudoku for a quid each. I wasn't really bothered but just said yes to be polite, even though I never really bother with those puzzle mags. They told me I'd be charged £1 for a trial, and could cancel before the full subscription kicked in, which would cost nearly £40. I was watching my bank account waiting for the £1 to clear, but then suddenly £40.99 was taken out, and to top it off, another £40.99 was taken a couple of days later. I rang their customer service, spoke to a woman called Laura who said sorry but couldn’t promise a refund and could only stop the direct debit going forward. She told me to email them explaining everything. I emailed over and over again, no response at all. Every time I try calling it's just voicemail. I’ve now reported it all to my bank and am waiting to see what will happen. It’s awful how easy it is to lose your hard-earned money to scams like this in broad daylight.

I got calls from this number quite a few times. When I picked up, a woman asked me about a survey I supposedly took part in. It was to do with a trial for a magazine, I think. I said yes to a trial payment of £1, but now they've sent me a bill for £39.99. They said if I want to cancel, I need to call back. I’ve tried ringing that number around 25 times across a couple of days, but all I get is a message telling me the lines are busy - even just after they open! Feels like a total scam to me.

Been attempting to get in touch to cancel but no luck at all. I've already told my bank about it. It began when I got a deal for womens weekly magazine at £1 a copy, which seemed legit. But the problem started with an offer for a wordsearch thing where they try to charge £39.99.

They got me with this £1 trial thing. You don’t pay anything straight away, but they get you to create a direct debit, and then they just keep taking cash from your account each month. Even when I tried cancelling with both them and my bank, they still took money. Honestly, avoid this scam, it’s not worth the hassle!

Tried ringing to stop a free trial but didn’t get through right away, only managed on the second try. They told me it’s all cancelled now, so hoping that’s the end of it. I’ve also let my bank know just in case, though it’s tricky to block payments before the initial one goes through.

I signed up for a magazine subscription and paid the £1 as requested, but somehow they charged me £117.97 instead. My bank flagged it and cancelled my card, but shockingly, the next day another £117.97 was taken from my account. I sent an email and was told to send a letter to a postal address they gave me. Since then, I haven’t had any reply and calls to them go unanswered. Because of all this, my bills have piled up and I’m really struggling financially, especially after recently losing work - the money I had was meant to just about cover everything for the month!

We first got involved when we signed up for YOURS magazine, paying a quid for 3 issues and gave them our bank info, told we could cancel after that if we wanted. The mags didn’t even begin until the following month. Then out of the blue, we started receiving free copies of THIS WEEK mag, which bizarrely had all our bank details on them. We cancelled ASAP. When we asked YOURS mag how THIS WEEK ended up with our info, they said the two magazines were run by different publishers and printers and that they don’t share any data! Really dodgy if you ask me.

Like others have said, I never signed up for anything but just found out they’re planning to take £39.99 from my account in a couple of weeks. I rang my bank to try and stop it, but they said there’s nothing they can do until the money is actually taken. Apparently the Direct Debit Guarantee should protect me, since I never gave consent. The problem is, I’ll be abroad during that time and will have to make the call from overseas to sort it out. Also, I’m not even sure if the payment will come from Shoe Lane Press or Auditus. I also saw another name pop up linked to the 0203 number - Earth Restoration Service. Very fishy.

About a week ago I got a call about trying out this Brainiac magazine. I called back and left a couple of messages on their voicemail to cancel my subscription, but they still attempted to charge me for another one. Luckily, my bank stopped the payment. The frustrating bit is, they never pick up the phone and I can’t find any other contact options for them anywhere.

I got a call saying I’d get a free issue of Puzzled magazine, which showed up fine, but then I spotted £39.99 missing from my bank.

I had the same experience not long ago - got signed up for some weird magazines without even asking. They’ve got me paying nearly £40 every half year for a cooking mag and something called Puzzled. I’ve told my bank about the issue and sent the mags back marked as ‘return to sender.’ Found a few phone numbers and addresses for some of them, so they're not completely fake. But weirdly, the cooking magazine has no proper contact details anywhere. Quite frustrating!

This whole thing seems like a complete scam - I can’t get hold of anyone on that number, and my bank details shouldn’t be with this company at all. Seriously, don’t let these dodgy people trick you.

I gave this number a ring but got told it’s not in service. Then I tried to send an email and it just bounced back saying it was unknown. Seems like they're just pretending to be legit and trying to scam people out of their cash. Watch out, folks!

I just found out apparently I’ve signed up for a direct debit charging me £39.99 for something called Culinary Collections. I never agreed to that at all. They said I’d get a FREE issue of Culinary Collections along with a few other magazines, and it would only cost me £7 altogether. It’s really frustrating because now the number they gave seems to be disconnected.

I just got told I apparently signed up for a £39.99 direct debit with Culinary Collections, which I definitely never agreed to. All I was expecting was a free issue of Culinary Collections along with a few other mags for £7 in total. Now when I try to call the number, it seems to be disconnected. Really annoying!

I’ve been trying to get in touch by phone and email to stop this but no luck! Just remove me from your list ASAP. I’m pulling the direct debit and will have to look into other options if this keeps up.

Today I got a book through the post from this company even though I never ordered anything. I quickly rang up and stopped the direct debit on my phone. I’m going to pop into my bank first thing tomorrow to make sure they don’t manage to pull any money out. It’s ridiculous that businesses can get away with sending junk like this!

Has anyone heard of Shoe Lane Press? About two years back, I got sent some books I never asked for. I tried ringing them a few times but never got through. So, I sent the books back to the address they’d given and told them to stop sending anything else. I even spoke to my bank to cancel any direct debits linked to them. Thought that was the end of it. But then, this month, I noticed £39.97 withdrawn via direct debit on my bank statement. My bank has now blocked the payment and is trying to get my money back, though I’m not very hopeful. Feels like a total scam. Tried calling different numbers for Shoe Lane Press but no luck either. Be careful and keep an eye on your bank stuff! Claire A, 14.05.2019.

020 3053 3541 called my husband and somehow managed to swipe almost £40 from his account by pretending to be delivering a £1 magazine. It’s awful especially when he’s unwell. Really watch out for this one.

Got a call claiming I had completed an Asda survey and mentioned crosswords as my hobby. They tempted me with a £1 crossword trial and then asked for my bank details to set it up. Now, I've got two emails saying they're charging me in early May for both crossword books and cooking magazines - the latter I never signed up for, and the crossword deal was supposed to be just the £1 trial. I was at my dad’s, tired after a long day, and just said yes to get them off the phone.

I've been getting ripped off by this firm for about two years now, even though I was sure I’d stopped the direct debit. About 18 months back, I chatted with someone from their team who promised to end the subscription. Still, the book kept showing up and money was still being taken out of my bank for £39.99 each time - and I never signed up for this at all! Tomorrow, I’m going to my bank to put an end to this direct debit once and for all.

I just got a call from this number, but as soon as I answered, they hung up. I've since gone to my bank to stop the direct debit and blocked them from taking any more money out of my account.

I called this number to stop a subscription and was quickly picked up by a really nice woman. She told me I’d actually cancelled back in January, but I still needed to accept the rest of the books I’d paid for. Pretty disappointing experience with Shoe Lane Press, honestly. You pay just a quid for the trial, they get all your info, and then suddenly £49 starts disappearing from your bank. Feels like a total rip-off, but sadly there’s not much to do for those who’ve already been caught out!

Hey there, Really sorry to hear you’ve been struggling to reach us by phone. Our lines tend to be pretty busy through the week. Have you tried calling us on 0203 0533 541? If not, dropping us a message at [email protected] might be quicker. We send out our trials every month, and apologise if you’ve had trouble getting through to cancel. If you could specifically ask for customer service next time you call, they’ll be able to help sort this out properly.

I demand that you return the £89.92 taken from my bank without my permission. You got in touch pretending to offer This Week and Money Week for £1, somehow using my bank info from these supposed deals. I never agreed to anything from Shoe Lane Press. If the money isn’t put back soon, I’ll have no choice but to pursue legal steps and make sure this mess gets some serious attention. It’s your call to sort this out properly and keep things civil.

I demand that you refund the £89.92 you took from my bank without my permission. You got in touch with me pretending to offer This Week and Money Week magazines for £1, which is how you obtained my bank details. I never agreed to any deal with Shoe Lane Press. If the money isn’t put back into my account, I’ll be forced to take legal steps, and you’ll end up with a lot of negative exposure. It’s your choice to sort this out properly and steer clear of trouble.

This number linked to Shoelane Press is definitely a scam. I got a couple of ebooks from them on trial, then suddenly they set up two direct debits to take money from my account starting 1st January 2019. One was called Baking Day, the other Fit & Fab. I tried calling to cancel but the line was always busy. They also told me to email them to cancel, but I’m not trusting that at all. When I rang my bank, they said nothing was set up yet, but it would be by 1st January. I’ve informed the bank’s fraud team and shared everything with them. Honestly, so many others have warned about this number, so beware and don’t fall for the same trick!

Hello, I've attempted to contact this number a few times but it only rings a couple times before going straight to busy tone. Others have had the same problem. Feels a bit dodgy, like this company isn't legit. I never agreed to you using any of my personal details or accounts. If you have any info on me, please remove it immediately. Very disappointed, thanks and goodbye.

I’ve been trying to call this number to stop a free gift and subscription they said I’ve got. They mentioned they’ll charge £39.94 from my account on 1.12.18 if I don’t cancel, but the number they gave me to cancel just won’t connect. Also, the email address they provided isn’t real or doesn’t work. Really frustrating!

Shoelane Press is absolutely dodgy. They took money from my bank twice just for some stupid paper letter. You can't get hold of them by phone or email either. Total scam.
