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 yearsDodgy marketing firm indeed! They unlawfully took £5 from me. I'd suggest getting in touch with the police about it.10 yearsI got hit with a £4.50 fee just for getting a text message! Can you believe that?10 yearsGot hit with a charge of £4.50 just for getting a text message.Got10 yearsJust like many others, I've found an unfamiliar charge on my phone bill. I reached out to EE for assistance, and they provided me with a number to call, but all I got was an automated answering service. Quite frustrating, really!EE10 yearsI just had another chat with EE, and they've pointed me in the direction of Phone Pay Plus, the authority that oversees these sorts of calls. However, they're not available at the moment due to training sessions today, so I’ll give it another go tomorrow. The number I’ve got is 03003030020.EE10 yearsI spotted an unexpected charge on my EE statement. When I reached out to their customer service, the representative mentioned that I’d entered a competition, which is absolutely not the case. They’ve managed to block the charge on their side, but I’m still waiting for a refund. When I tried to get in touch with the competition company, all I got was an answerphone. Quite frustrating!EE10 yearsLike many others, I've noticed a charge of £4.17 on my phone bill for a text message from the number 64500. I reached out to Three UK for clarification, and they informed me that I supposedly entered a competition, which I can assure you I did not. This feels like an outright scam, and despite my pleas, Three refuses to reimburse me. They provided me with a contact number (02030868953) for the company involved, advising me to reach out to them directly. I'll be escalating this matter to OFCOM, as it appears to be quite illegal-more like a form of theft, if you ask me. It's rather disheartening that mobile network providers are not doing more to combat such fraudulent activities.ThreeUK10 yearsI've had a similar experience; my statement indicated a charge from 64500. I reached out to Three UK, and they advised me to contact the company in question at 02030868953. I must admit, I feel quite livid towards those scoundrels. If only there was a way to send them a strong message about their dishonest practices! I do hope they face some sort of justice soon-maybe even a hefty dash through the traffic would serve them right. Caller: 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 deduction of £4.17 from my account linked to the number 02030868953. It appears to be nothing more than a complete scam.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 yearsI'm absolutely appalled by this horrific marketing con. It’s shameful that they’re even targeting youngsters who own mobiles, racking up charges without a second thought. I'm seriously considering reporting them to trading standards and the authorities, as what they're doing amounts to theft in my eyes. This so-called marketing firm has no scruples when it comes to getting their hands on your cash, and they really ought to be banned from operating ever again. It’s high time someone put a stop to this kind of dishonesty!10 yearsI've fallen victim to this scam myself! This month, I spotted an unexpected increase in my bill-around a fiver-so I reached out to O2 for some clarity. To my surprise, they claimed I had signed up for a competition. I insisted to them that I've never participated in any such thing and had no clue about the number in question. Sadly, O2 wasn't very accommodating and flat-out refused to issue a refund or block the offending number from my account. After two decades of being a loyal customer, I reckon it's high time I consider switching to a different mobile provider.10 yearsI’ve just discovered that this competition firm has taken £93.00 from my account for entries I never signed up for. It’s utterly appalling that such practices are allowed to 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 yearsI got a message from 64500 that included this number, and believe it or not, I was hit with a £5 fee just for receiving it-even though I definitely haven't signed up for any contests. Thankfully, my network, 3 Mobile, decided to waive the charge since it was a rare occurrence.3 Mobile10 yearsMy 15-year-old daughter has been hit with a charge of £4.17 for supposedly entering a competition, but she insists she never did such a thing. O2 has washed their hands of the situation, stating they can’t do anything about it since it’s down to this other company. It’s absolutely absurd!10 yearsI've found myself in a bit of a pickle. It seems that I've been billed by a firm for a competition that I never entered. My mobile provider has suggested that I should pursue the company for a refund, but quite frankly, that seems like a tall order. I'm having a devil of a time trying to contact them to lodge a complaint!10 yearsMy mobile carrier has informed me that a text message was dispatched from my phone to this number, which has set me back by a fiver. Oddly enough, I have no recollection of sending such a message, nor is there any trace of this number in my contacts or text history. The only explanation I can come up with is that it was somehow sent through the web or data, but I'm completely baffled about how that could have happened!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)
