02035405938 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02035405938 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving unauthorised weekly or monthly charges, typically £8-£9, appearing on UK mobile phone bills across multiple networks like Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three. Callers claim these come from competitions or prize draws linked to companies such as BigWin, CoMob, and SocMan, often initiated unknowingly via misleading pop-ups or adverts on social media. Victims report poor responsiveness from mobile providers, who generally block the numbers but initially refuse refunds. The scam exploits legal loopholes about subscription and opt-in confirmations, with many users losing hundreds before realising. Blocking the numbers, persistently disputing charges, contacting PhonePayPlus, and involving consumer adjudicators are common recommended steps. Awareness and caution about clicking unsolicited links or adverts on phones are strongly advised.

My husband has been slapped with a £9 fee every Saturday for the past month, and I'm absolutely fuming! I'm planning to ring O2 first thing tomorrow. This 0203 number hasn’t shown up on his phone at all, yet his bill clearly lists purchases from Bigwin. This is infuriating!

I'm afraid the situation hasn't improved; Vodafone's response has been utterly lacking. I'm getting hit with a £9 charge weekly, which feels rather fishy, as if they're in on this somehow. Honestly, it seems that switching providers would save me a fair bit in the long haul. I'd strongly advise anyone to consider parting ways with Vodafone at this point!

Since April 9th, 2016, this number has been racking up £9 a week on my Vodafone bill, which adds up to around £240 so far. Vodafone aren't willing to refund me for it. Although they blocked the number on December 15th, I kept getting charged until I discovered another number to text "stop all" to. It feels like Vodafone is just helping these scammers get away with it. What can I do now? I reckon it might’ve been my granddaughter when she was staying over.

I’ve fallen prey to this scam operation known as Big Win, associated with the number 02033227173. I've been bombarded with text messages, often at ungodly hours, claiming I’ve won an iPhone-each morning I find myself deleting these messages without giving them a second thought. However, over the course of several months, they’ve managed to siphon off £351 from my account! I reached out to O2 to discuss the alarming bills, but they informed me that merely not engaging with the messages and sending a 'stop' request is akin to subscribing. O2 didn't offer any help in halting these charges, so I took matters into my own hands and called Big Win to cancel. I asked for a full refund, but surprise, surprise-I've heard nothing back! It’s utterly infuriating; they must be raking in a fortune. I'm left feeling let down by O2 since I’m the one who’s been loyal whilst Big Win thrives off this nonsense.

I certainly haven’t given permission for this number to deduct funds from my Vodafone account. They assured me back on 15/12/2016 that the debits would cease, yet here we are, still dealing with it. I've already lost a staggering £256. Honestly, stay clear of Vodafone; it seems they can't handle their customers' finances properly. What steps should I take from here?

Can't believe how these absolute w#nkers keep pulling this off. Vodafone was charging me £9 every month for weeks without me noticing. Thankfully, I've sorted it now and got my money back. Honestly, would love to confront these useless c#### in person.

I've also fallen victim to a £50 scam thanks to unsolicited messages from this number. Despite VODAFONE assuring me that they've blocked any premium rate texts and calls on my account, I'm still noticing weekly deductions of £4.50. It turns out these charges are classified as Charity Donations, which allows them to slip through the net of premium rate bans. It's essential to press VODAFONE to ensure these donations are properly barred from your account, otherwise, you'll find yourself in the same frustrating situation.

I’ve just discovered that this company has been taking £9 from my account every week since July. I decided to ring the number, only to find it’s been changed to 01567 380029. When I reached out to this new number, the customer service rep informed me that it pertains to a mobile service that manages payments for various businesses. I pressed them about the original number starting with 0203, and they mentioned it was linked to a Tesco voucher competition that one of my kids may have accidentally entered back in July. They’ve promised to stop any future charges. I’m starting a full investigation to compel them to provide proof of when the initial subscription was approved. Let's see how this unfolds.

Since July, I've noticed a weekly deduction of £9 from this firm. I rang up the listed contact, only to be directed to a different line: 01567 380029. When I called this number, the rep informed me they’re a mobile services company that handles charges for other businesses. I asked about the original 0203 number, and they told me it related to a Tesco voucher contest my kid might've entered months ago, and they’ve now stopped further charges. I’m starting a probe to find out exactly when I agreed to this subscription. Let’s see how it unfolds.

We've fallen prey to a scam that has cost us hundreds of quid over the past few months. It's my husband's account, and I hadn't been keeping tabs on it, but he finally brought it to my attention. We called Vodafone straight away; they promised to block the number but insisted we needed to reach out to them first. Unfortunately, we've been unable to get through to anyone. Honestly, Vodafone's support has been woeful. What should we do next? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve fallen victim to a scam, and they’ve taken £100 from me without my consent. It’s utterly appalling! When I reached out to Vodafone for assistance, their only advice was to block the number. Not a single mention of reimbursement or support-how is this even acceptable? This whole situation is downright revolting!

Recently, I noticed a curious spike in my daughter's phone bill, so we rang up Vodafone for some clarity. They hinted that it could be down to her using the internet and other services. However, upon digging a bit deeper, we discovered that a mysterious entity called Winit Ltd has been siphoning off £9 from her account every single week for the past three months. It leaves me baffled-how on earth does an unfamiliar company manage to do this? When I pressed Vodafone for a solution, they simply shrugged it off, stating they couldn't halt the payments. But how did this all begin in the first place?

I recently had a look at my Vodafone bill and was rather startled to discover that I've been billed £9 every week for the past five weeks by a company I’ve never even come across before. I definitely didn’t give the go-ahead for any payments. When I reached out to Vodafone through their live chat, the representative informed me that I would need to get in touch with the unnamed company directly to halt these charges and request a refund. Additionally, Vodafone has now disabled premium rate calls for my number, so fingers crossed that should prevent any further deductions. However, the number in question isn’t appearing in my call history, so I’m not entirely convinced this will solve the issue.

Hello there! I've been noticing that for the past three months, I've been billed £45 for two of those months and £36 for the other, along with weekly £9 charges. I reached out to Vodafone for assistance, and they informed me that I'll need to file a complaint to seek a refund. Quite frustrating, really!

I've been with Vodafone for quite some time now, and so have several of my relatives. Recently, we've all noticed some unexpected charges that added up to over £200. I reached out to Vodafone's customer service to get to the bottom of it, and while I appreciated the representative's explanation of how these dodgy companies operate, it still feels quite unjust. It's evident that this isn't a fault of Vodafone itself, but surely there should be some measures put in place to tackle this issue. Cheers to Vodafone for taking the time to clarify things for me!

It's absolutely disheartening to hear about my daughter's unfortunate experience with the Safari lottery scam that's been going on for the past three months. She's lost over £100 from her O2 account, yet she never even signed up for such a lottery! They’ve been deducting £9 weekly under the guise of a mobile phone prize. It's incredibly frustrating that Phonepayplus, the organisation meant to assist in these matters, can only provide subscription details sourced directly from these fraudsters-details my daughter never consented to. It feels as though these scammers operate with impunity, and the situation is likely to worsen since there appears to be little regulatory recourse available. I firmly believe that O2 and other providers should have a responsibility to alert customers about any premium charges before they are deducted. I’m seriously considering reverting to a simpler mobile phone!

A dear older friend of mine has been hit with four dubious charges of £9 each from this number. It’s absolutely disgraceful. How on earth is this allowed to happen? There’s definitely an urgent need for action here. She simply can’t bear the cost, and I’m determined to assist her in securing a refund. I would highly advise anyone - steer clear of making donations or similar transactions through your mobile phone. It’s a complete con.

I never signed up for anything like this, and honestly, I can't spare that kind of cash. O2 has told me they're not going to refund me, which is really frustrating. Any idea what my next steps should be?

I recently encountered a similar predicament with Vodafone. I reached out to SOCMAN, the outfit responsible for Winprizes, which had been deducting £9.00 weekly from my account, totalling £36.00. After speaking to two representatives, they flatly denied my request for a refund. Despite their claims, they haven't produced any evidence proving I ever signed up; they insisted I answered three questions, yet I have no recollection of even hearing about them! To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to provide me with the date and time I supposedly signed up, which is laughable since I was tied up at a family gathering at that very moment. Moreover, PhonePayPlus has been utterly ineffective in resolving my complaint, and I'm still battling with Vodafone to get my money back. It's absolutely baffling how these companies manage to operate with such impunity. It's nothing short of a scam!

I think I've fallen victim to a scam, to be honest. They took £36 from my account in May and then another £27 in June, supposedly for a purchase and a charity donation that I never signed up for! I've already alerted Vodafone about the situation and have now blocked that number.

I recently discovered that I've been charged £9.00 on a weekly basis, which led me to reach out to Vodafone for assistance. It was quite the task to reach someone, taking the best part of half a day. To my dismay, I was informed that it wasn't their issue, although they did manage to block the charges in the end. I proceeded to dial 02035405938, and after some back and forth, the representative-who introduced herself as "Claudia"-claimed that I must have inadvertently clicked on an advertisement while browsing online, which initiated this subscription. She shared that the address linked to it was "Suite 73, 95 Wilton Road, London, SW1V 1BZ." When I inquired about getting a refund, I was told it simply wasn’t an option. I’m now planning to reach out to Phone Pay Plus in hopes of resolving this, although I’m not particularly optimistic about the outcome.

Having just returned from my bank, I spotted a hefty Vodafone bill that caught my attention. I had recently purchased a new iPhone 6se, and I was certain my charges shouldn't skyrocket like that. Upon closer inspection, I discovered I was being hit with a fee of £9.00 each week. I reached out to Vodafone, only to find myself speaking with various customer service representatives overseas, each offering a plethora of solutions that proved entirely futile. Remarkably, they all insisted that Vodafone bore no responsibility for this issue. It’s quite puzzling, as they are indeed the network provider. Coincidentally, this anomaly began right after I switched to their services and acquired the device. What a right mess this has turned into! I'm adamant about getting my money back. Cheers, Phil

I recently found four charges of £9 each listed on my Vodafone statement, labelled as "Comp 02035405938". After an unexpectedly delightful online conversation with Piyush from Vodafone, they promptly refunded the entire amount and have also put a complete block on any premium services linked to my account. I’ve never engaged with any premium services or taken part in competitions via my phone, so these charges were definitely out of the blue for me, making it straightforward to illustrate that something wasn’t right. I trust this will provide some assistance to others in reclaiming their funds. Best, James

Right then - it appears that the website they send you to for your receipt actually reroutes you to http://payforit.impulsepay.com, which is a sort of intermediary billing service that's ostensibly legitimate yet doesn't actually receive your funds directly. They have a link for your receipt over at http://mobile.wintheprize.uk/
What's quite intriguing is that this domain is registered under Identity Protect Limited, a firm that operates somewhat in the grey area by registering websites on behalf of others, effectively cloaking the true identity of the owner.

Clearly, this is rather suspicious - my initial advice would be to reach out to Trading Standards in Surrey armed with all this information. They might be able to unearth the entity behind this operation and take it further.
