Phone number ☎️ 02030868953 👆 is reported as a widespread scam involving premium rate text charges, typically around £4 to £5, linked to fraudulent competition entries that users deny participating in. Many UK mobile users - across networks like EE, O2, Three, and others - have found unexplained fees on their phone bills attributed to this scheme. Attempts to contact the originating company are often met with voicemail or no response. Mobile providers generally do not offer refunds and frequently advise customers to liaise directly with the scam company, though this proves futile. This scam has affected adults and children alike, causing considerable distress and financial loss. Victims are encouraged to scrutinise phone bills carefully, report suspicions to authorities such as Trading Standards or the police, and consider provider blockers to prevent further unauthorised charges.

10 yearsGot hit with a dodgy 5 pound fee from some scammy marketing firm. Definately not legit. Might report it to the cops.10 yearsI got hit with a £4.50 fee just for getting a text message! Can you believe that?10 yearsGot hit with a £4.50 fee just for getting a text message! Absolutely ridiculous.Got10 yearsSame story here. Noticed a strange charge on my phone bill. I called EE, and they handed me a number to ring, but it just went to an answering machine. Pretty frustrating!EE10 yearsTried calling EE once more and got directed to Phone Pay Plus - aren't they the ones in charge of these kind of calls? Seems like they’re closed today for training, so I’ll give them a ring again tomorrow. The number was 03003030020.EE10 yearsSpotted a random fee on my EE bill today. I was told by an agent it'd be for entering some competition, which I've never done. They've now blocked it from their side, but no sign of a refund. Told to reach out to the company, but all I'm getting is their voicemail. Proper frustrating!EE10 yearsJust like a few others here, I got charged £4.17 on my phone bill after receiving a text from 64500. I rang up Three UK and they said it was because I’d joined some competition, which I definitely haven’t. It’s a total scam and Three refused to give me a refund. They handed me a number (02030868953) to get in touch with the company behind it, but honestly, I’m not sure what good that’ll do. I’m about to report this to OFCOM because it feels like outright theft to me. It’s really frustrating that mobile providers aren’t cracking down harder on these dodgy calls.ThreeUK10 yearsI got a charge on my phone bill from 64500 as well, so I rang Three UK and they just told me to get in touch straight with the firm at 02030868953. Honestly, I feel like writing them a proper angry letter, these scammers are such crooks. Hope something bad happens to them, like some kind of payback karma or they get hit by a car or something. Number calling was 02030868953.ThreeUK10 yearsHad a look at my phone bill and noticed a £4.17 charge for some contest to win a car - never entered it! I called EE, who told me to get in touch with another number. EE were quite helpful and even blocked the scammers, but they couldn’t refund me. Then I tried calling that other number, which just went straight to voicemail, with a message about agents being busy and to leave a number. Yeah, sure... feels like a total rip-off. Watch out for this kind of scam, honestly.10 yearsi just had a chat with ee about this number, and they said it’s linked to some competition i’ve never heard of. like loads of others, i’ve never signed up for anything like that! there was a charge of £4.17 from 64500 on my phone bill. ee gave me a contact for the so-called “competition,” but after reading other people’s experiences, i don’t see any point in bothering to call. honestly, don’t know what to do since something similar happened before - back then orange refunded me, but ee told me they can’t sort it this time. really frustrating!EEOrange10 yearsI got charged £5.00, but I called Three who then rang the company and put me on a call that went straight to voicemail. After that, Three told me to text 'stop' to 65400, which I did. They rang me back shortly after, were really helpful and ended up cancelling the charge as a nice gesture, even though they didn’t have to.Three10 yearsHad the exact same thing happen here, got charged £4.17 for a car contest I never even signed up for. Proper annoying.10 yearsNo idea where they found my number from, honestly. They’ve taken £5 off me for a contest I never signed up for. Contacted my network, but they just said I agreed to it and refused to refund. Tried ringing back the number but it just went straight to voicemail every time. Definitely feels like a scam to me.10 yearsI noticed a charge of £4.17 on my account from the number 02030868953. Definitely feels like a scam to me.10 yearsJust got a text from Stepforward Holdings Limited about a chance to win a new car. They charge you £5 per entry via a premium SMS to 64500, and apparently, there's a new car prize every month. They say if you buy one entry, you get another one free. Sounds a bit fishy to me!Stepforward Holdings Limited10 yearsLoads of folks are getting caught up in this dodgy marketing scam, including kids who have their own mobiles. Honestly, it's one of the creepiest scams I've come across in ages. I reckon it’s serious enough to report to trading standards or maybe even the police, as it’s basically stealing.10 yearsI recently got caught up in a scam where my phone bill shot up for no good reason. When I rang up my network, O2, they told me I’d signed up for some kind of competition linked to this number. I explained I’d never entered any contest and had no clue what they were talking about. The support from O2 was rubbish, they said I wouldn’t get my money back and couldn’t block the number from my account. I’ve been with O2 for over 20 years but I’m seriously considering switching providers now.O210 yearsWhat a horrible scam this is! They even go as far as calling kids on their mobiles and ripping them off. It’s nothing short of stealing, and I’m definitely going to report these crooks to the police and trading standards. This “marketing” firm couldn’t care less about how they trick you out of your money, and they honestly should be stopped from ever doing business like this again. It’s pure theft, and it needs to be banned for good.10 yearsI've had this scam on me too. My phone bill suddenly shot up by around £5 so I called O2 to see what was going on. They said I’d signed up for some competition. I told them I never entered anything like that and didn’t recognise the number involved. Sadly, O2 weren’t much help and refused to refund me or block the number from my bill. After being with them for twenty years, I’m seriously thinking it’s time to switch to another provider.10 yearsI was shocked to see a £93 charge from this competition firm for contests I never signed up for. It's honestly awful that things like this go on.10 yearsthey say i signed up for their service and charged me £4.17 but i am 100% sure i never agreed to or subscribed to anything from them.10 yearsGot a message from 64500 that showed this number on it. They charged me £5 just for getting the text even tho I never signed up for any contests. Thankfully, my network, 3 mobile, kindly cancelled the fee since it was a one-time thing.3 Mobile10 yearsSo, my 15 year old daughter got hit with a £4.17 fee for supposedly signing up for some competition. She keeps telling me she never did it, but O2 reckon they can’t take the charge off her bill - only the company who sent it can. Honestly, what a load of rubbish.10 yearsA company has somehow charged me for a contest I never signed up for. When I contacted my phone network, they told me it's down to me to get my money back but getting hold of the company is near impossible. I’m stuck because I can't even complain to them!10 yearsMy phone company told me that a text was sent from my phone to this number and it cost me £5. I have no clue this happened and there's no sign of the number in my contacts or messages. I'm guessing it might have been sent through some internet service or app, but honestly, I have no idea how.10 yearsI just got a text from a number that turned out to be one of those premium rate scams. Watch out, cause they try to charge you through texts without you realising! Really dodgy stuff.Submit Your Own Report (020 3086 8953)
