My mobile bill suddenly had a charge of £16.50, which I didn’t recognise at all. I called up the company, and they tried telling me I’d signed up for a subscription under a name that sounded like Phonifybv. Thing is, I’ve never agreed to anything like that. After a long chat with a quite polite chap, who kept insisting it was legit, I eventually got him to say they’d refund me - but only through PayPal. Now I’m just waiting to see if that actually happens. They gave me this number too: 08082060808.

There’s a dodgy subscription scam coming from Southampton. I’d recommend getting in touch with them straight away to cancel, and then call your phone company to try and get your money back. Also, make sure you report the number to 7726 so it gets blocked. It’s about time these sorts of people were put to a stop. My network provider is already checking into it.

Beware, this is a scam that will show up on your phone bill as a text from 78484 costing £1.25. Even if you call your network provider, nothing changes - they just carry on with it. Thanks a lot, Three. Trying to block the number doesn’t solve anything, the messages just vanish but Three still takes the money and hands it over. When I talked to Three’s security team, they basically blamed me? What kind of nonsense is that? Honestly, this is just plain theft.

I’d recommend complaining to Ofcom and filing a theft report to Action Fraud. You can head to police.uk’s Action Fraud section and fill out the victim report there. If you’re in Scotland, calling 101 might be necessary to report the scam in progress. Also, sending a text with the phone number to 7726 could help, as that service is designed to catch attempted scams. Reporting through 7726 could mark the number as spam on the network and might prompt further action. It’s worth doing all of these steps to protect yourself and others.

I just looked over my phone bill and noticed an extra charge of £11.85 that I have no clue about. No idea where that's coming from.

I've been receiving text messages on one of my devices, and they’re cheekily billing me for the nuisance. What a right con! Absolute scam artists!
