Since August, this darn number has been draining money from my account. I kept trying to reach someone but only ended up talking to some automated system. I'm planning to ring my mobile provider tomorrow to sort out a refund.

Got this message (copied below) so i rang Vodafone and sorted it out. They told me if you dont ring to cancel within 24 hours youll get charged. FreeMsg: Just a reminder youre signed up to SecretSalesCodes for £4.50 each month via Mobtech till you text STOP to 60031. [email protected][###] 0203 608 5243

(Part 3 - why is there a limit on how long messages can be?) I plan to call the Post Office just after this May Bank Holiday 2018 to check if the 'refund voucher' they send by text is legit. Because paying this way (through text) is so often used for scams and unwanted fraud, I really think they ought to stop the service altogether.

got a message first offering 10% off hotels [###], then another saying thanks for subscribing and it’s £4.50 monthly. rang 02 and they’ve blocked the number, said i won’t get charged. they also told me to text 60031 so they stop messaging me altogether and make sure no fees come through either.

Got a text like this today too. After reading the tips here, I got in touch with Virgin and they blocked the number. I'll be keeping an eye on it, and once GDPR kicks in, I'm definitely gonna chase it up properly and make them pay.

Got the exact same message back in January 2018 and even replied with STOP in February. Now I just got another text saying "Freetext" but when I rang my network, Virgin, they told me that there's a fee just for getting the premium message. I've emailed the contact given in the text and, following Virgin's advice, sent STOPALL to 70207. When the new data protection rules start in May, I'm planning to take legal action against these lot!

hey, i never asked for any calls or messages from these people, it just popped up on my phone outta nowhere. no clue who they are or how they got my number. someone must have shared it without me knowing! really fed up with companies selling your details without a heads up, just for a quick buck. i haven't even looked at the texts or replied. gonna visit the bank tomorrow to make sure they can’t access anything. this is just annoying!

Got a text not long ago saying I needed to cancel a magazine subscription I never signed up for. They wanted £4.50, but luckily I set my phone spending limit to £2.50, so no money was taken. Seems these crooks pick amounts just under the usual £5 threshold. I'd really recommend everyone lowers their limit to something like £2.50 to stop any sneaky charges from going through automatically.

Keep getting messages about £4.50 monthly charges but I never signed up for anything like that.

i emailed the company secretsalescodes to complain and they said they’d take me off their list and refund me £4.50 if I show a text at the post office. i just got the text this morning, they said it’ll show as an MCOM payment, and the post office clerk should know what to do to give the refund.

Drop an email to secretsalescodes and tell them to take you off their list and that you want a refund of £4.50 through a post office text voucher. I just got mine this morning, it was labeled as an MCOM payment, and the post office guy knew exactly how to sort the refund. I never signed up for anything and had emailed them asking for proof of my subscription. They said they’d send the refund via the post office payment thing, which I wasn’t too sure about, but it actually showed up.

I got a message claiming I’d signed up for their service, which I definitely hadn’t, so I blocked the number straight away. But then I found out that the first text they sent actually charged me £3.70, and if you just block the number instead of replying STOP to 60031, the fees keep adding up. It’s a total rip-off and really should be illegal. Shame there doesn’t seem to be anyone willing to put a stop to this awful breach of privacy and outright stealing. Secretsalescodes and Mobtech, you’re absolutely disgraceful.

Got a message on my phone just now from this number, which I’ve never heard of before; FreeMsg: You have been signed up to SecretSalesCodes at £4.50 monthly by Mobtech. To cancel, send STOP to 60031. Contact: [email protected] or 0203 608 5243. I haven’t ordered anything like this and have no intention of replying. I’m about to contact my bank to block any payments because I definitely never agreed to any subscription with them. Feels like another one of those scams going around at the moment.

This seems to be run by some third party named mobtech. The company is .SYMOBY GHBH and their number is 01183244333. I honestly have no clue how I ended up "subscribing" to this service. I spoke with my network provider and they've gone ahead and blocked it, so thankfully I won’t be getting charged any more for it.

Got the same message on my phone tonight. I’m with Three, so I’ll give them a ring tomorrow to find out where they’ve got my info from and what subscription they reckon I’ve got. The site’s just a single page asking to text ‘stop’ to the number. Fingers crossed for me.

Just to add to my previous comment from the 30th, I phoned the 0118 number and they confirmed the service had been cancelled but couldn’t say where it was originally signed up (bit odd). The number on the original text just goes to voicemail, so I contacted O2 again. Eventually managed to speak to someone and they agreed to refund me as a goodwill gesture. This seems like the best way to get your money back.

Got a message sayin, "Free Msg: Thanks for signin up to SecretSalesCodes at £4.50 a month from Mobtech. Text STOP to 60031 for help 0203 6085243." After readin some of the comments here, I realised the real cost comes from a follow-up text they send, a TKMaxx discount offer. To stop gettin charged, I just blocked the number that sent the first message. That way they can’t send the second one with the TKMaxx voucher that usually ends up billin you. So, no chance of gettin stung this way.

Got the same call here and reached out to giffgaff, but they said they can't really help. Honestly, not much use. Their only advice was to report it to the PSA, which I’ve done now. Also emailed mobtech like someone else mentioned here. Rang the number and told them to take me off their list. Even sent STOP ALL to 60031, not that I wanted to, but PSA suggests it. Totally a scam. How do they manage to do this without consequences? It’s illegal and bogus. Ridiculous.

I got the same thing happen and £4.50 was taken from my bank without me signing up for anything. I got in touch with my phone provider and blocked that number so it cant charge me again. They gave me this number to report it to the phone regulator: 0300 3030020. I’ve already put in a complaint and emailed mobtech at director@mobtech info. If they don’t sort it and return my money, the PSA will launch an official complaint against them. They need plenty of details from anyone affected.

Same here - got charged £4.50 on my Three account after receiving two texts I never asked for. I called Three's customer support to report it as fraud and asked for my money back. They said they’d refund the £4.50 and block any texts from that number going forward. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it really stops.

got a message sayin ‘freemsg: you’ve subscribed to secretsalescodes costing £4.50 monthly from mobtevh, text stop to 60031 for help? 02036085243’ called my phone company straight away to stop any charges.

Same here, got a message saying thanks for subscribing to secretsalescodes at £4.50 monthly from mobtech. We replied STOP to 60031 but not sure if that just confirmed we've got an active number with them. Not sure if they can take money from us either. We had a similar thing before where a company somehow took about £5 a month through our phone contract. No clue how they pulled that off, O2 suggested it might’ve been from clicking a Facebook ad by mistake but we really don’t think that was possible. Anyone got any ideas?

I just received a rather peculiar text, which goes like this: FreeMsg: Cheers for signing up for SecretSalesCodes at a cost of £4.50 each month from Mobtech. If you wish to opt out, just reply with STOP to 60031. Need assistance? Call 0203 6085243. I'm rather suspicious about this since I don't recall enrolling in anything. Has anyone else come across this or have any insights to share?

i tried texting stop to this number but it wouldnt go through, yet it says you’ll get charged if you do (text number 60031). i’m planning to report this to the police - there’s an email help@secretsalescodes(### i’ve already sent them a message asking them to take my details off their list, but i’m still waiting to hear back from them.
