08000689042 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08000689042 👆 is reported as a persistent scam targeting UK mobile users, often triggered by clicking on Facebook adverts or browsing certain web content, particularly related to hairstyles or cars. Victims unknowingly subscribe to costly weekly premium services, typically £4.50, without explicit consent. Efforts to cancel by texting "STOP" often fail, and direct contact with the provided number is risky, with scammers pressuring for bank or PayPal details under the guise of refunds. Network providers may block future charges but rarely issue refunds, advising victims not to respond to texts or calls from the scam number. Users are strongly urged to report incidents to their provider, the Telephone Preference Service, and Action Fraud, while exercising caution and avoiding interaction with suspicious messages or calls.

Hey everyone, if you’ve ended up paying for one of those sneaky text subscription services, please reach out to me. I’m looking to put together an article about this issue. Cheers! You can contact me at [email protected][###]

If this keeps going, they'll be raking in a fortune! £4.50 a week really starts to mount up, doesn't it? As it stands, I'm out of pocket by £45 already!

I've noticed that I'm being billed for Fun Mob, even though I never signed up for it in the first place. A few months back, I sent a text requesting to stop these charges, but they're still appearing on my account. It's incredibly frustrating!

I've just been hit with a £4.50 charge for browsing some hairstyles, and it appears I've been signed up for something called Funfor hairstyles without my consent. I hadn’t texted 64055 to cancel the subscription, fearing it might incur further costs. This is certainly dodgy and warrants some investigation. I reached out to that number to request the cancellation of my subscription, and the reply I received was simply this: “Your text-to-speech message to 08000689042 has been delivered.” I intend to get in touch with my 3 network provider to put a stop to any payments.

Got hit with £5 a week for three weeks, and I never signed up for any of it. Rang EE, and they told me it’s dodgy and to send an email to info[###]@your-mobi[###]. Proper scam.

I reckon this is a total scam. Vodafone know about it but all they do is attempt to cancel it, no chance of getting your money back. Watch out!

I just got a text saying I’ve signed up for something. Does replying with STOP actually mean you’ll get charged £4.50? Looks like this could be the case because I haven’t replied or done anything yet, and no money’s been taken from me. Watch out for this scam, seriously. You should report it to the cops.

I've just been stung by what appears to be a blatant scam, as I was hit with a charge of nearly £12. I've never signed up for anything related to this, and I’m in desperate need of a refund. My financial situation is already tight, and this has only made matters worse!

What a con! They simply siphon off cash by billing your provider. I ended up losing £27. I requested a refund, but it never materialised, especially since I never even signed up for this service. Has anyone managed to get their money back?

I just found out they hit you with fees just for clicking links on their site, with no warning about any charges or subscriptions. If anyone else has fallen for this trick, make sure to report it at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk.

Really frustrated right now, I never signed up for anything with this firm but they're still charging me through my Virgin Media bill. After three months, they suddenly took £13.50. I kept getting messages from them but just ignored them. Honestly, it feels like I've been scammed because I got nothing in return. Virgin Media say it’s a premium service charge from that company and they won’t give me my money back. Proper annoyed with the whole thing.

Fraud Alert! I can't believe what's happening! I stumbled upon a car photo online, and out of nowhere, I was hit with a dodgy pop-up claiming I was now signed up for a subscription at a ridiculous £4.50 each week. Thinking it was a scam, I didn’t pay it any mind, only to find a shocking £13.50 charge on my phone bill! After texting 'stop' and giving them a ring to report the fraud, the woman on the line insisted it was all cancelled but then asked for my bank details to process a refund. I made it clear that my phone provider is taking care of it, but this is definitely something to watch out for. Stay vigilant, folks!

I recently noticed a £4.50 charge on my account for browsing hairstyles, and apparently, I've inadvertently signed up for Funfor Hairstyles. I've sent a message to 64055 to cancel, but this strikes me as a total scam that deserves some serious investigation. I'm quite concerned as I've heard others say that the cancellation text sometimes doesn't work-what's the next step if it’s the same for me?

I've received a text from this business that I never signed up for-just happened to click on their Facebook page. I'm completely baffled about how to stop them, and it's got me quite anxious that they might drain my funds.

Same here - Got a call from a number saying it was some Facebook article about healthy eating costing £4.50. I thought it was just a normal FB read, clicked through, and somehow ended up signed up for a service I definitely didn’t agree to. Absolute scam, those people.

I came across an advertisement from Pfi.funforyou.mobi plastered all over Facebook, sponsored by Gossip Animals. Honestly, steer clear of clicking on it! I’ve reached out to my mobile provider, and they’ve confirmed that nothing has been charged to my account. However, when I rang their contact number, they offered a refund contingent on me providing my bank information. Whatever you do, don’t share your banking details with them. It's crucial to inform your mobile operator that you're unwilling to set up any new accounts linked to your number, just in case they try anything sneaky on that front. Stay vigilant! This site absolutely needs to be taken offline!

I was just browsing hairstyles on Facebook when outta nowhere I got this text saying I’d subscribed to something. It told me to reply STOP to a number, which I did, but by then they’d already taken £4.50 from my account. Makes me wonder how many others they’ve scammed out of that same amount. Thinking about whether it’s even worth getting in touch with my phone provider, since I did reply STOP and all.

These hairdressing con artists are at it again, got a text seemingly from some random FB scroll, never even clicked their profile tho. I’ve filed a complaint with the ICO 7726 and now sorting stuff with my phone company to get back the £4.50 and block their number. The mobile companies really should do more to stop this kind of scam, feels like they turn a blind eye so the scammers keep making money.

I've noticed a recurring charge of £4.50 popping up on my mobile bill every week, and I’m finding it quite the hassle to get it sorted. It appears my mobile provider directed me to this number for a refund inquiry, but I'm at a bit of a loss here. Who can I turn to for some clarity on this?

Got a message from some app on Facebook claiming they’d charge me £4.50 weekly for "funforyou." I rang my network provider to check and they said not to respond or ring back. Apparently, there hadn’t been any charges on my account. They warned that if I replied or called, they’d see it as me confirming my number and start taking money. So yeah, don’t bother contacting that company - just sort it through your phone provider instead.

I stumbled upon a Facebook ad about hairdos, and out of the blue, I received a text notification claiming I’d signed up for a weekly subscription of £4.50. I can assure you, that wasn’t the case! The message insisted I needed to reply to opt out. It’s so obviously a scam, and it’s left me feeling quite anxious that I might be swindled out of my cash, leading to a hefty phone bill.
9 years
The moment I got the text, I got in touch with my network provider and sorted it out. They told me best not to call back or reply by text, because that just confirms your number to them. Instead, they suggested saving the numbers to my contacts and then blocking them. After that, they made sure those numbers couldn’t do anything with my account.
9 years
If you want to cancel, just drop them an email at info[###]@funforyou.mobi with your mobile number and the word STOP. They have this annoying 14-day notice period before they’ll cancel, according to their terms and conditions. Honestly, I’m proper livid about it!

Absolute rip off! I was just browsing hairstyles on Facebook and suddenly got a text saying I’d signed up for a service that charges £4.50 weekly! How come Facebook and the phone companies don’t do more to stop this rubbish? Thankfully, my provider sorted it all out and gave me my money back.

Having seen an advertisement on Facebook, I got a rather odd message from this number. It said something along the lines of, "Thanks for joining Funfor you Infotaninment Hairstyles for a weekly fee of £4.50, unless you text 'stop' to 64055." I’ve tried to reply, but it seems my messages aren’t going through. I'm beginning to suspect this could be a scam and I sincerely hope they don't start draining money from my account!

This is linked to shortcode 64055. It’s meant to be customer support for some dodgy hair product ad I saw on Facebook. Basically one of those sneaky 'subscriptions' you never actually signed up for! When I called to try and stop it, the automated voice asked me to have my phone number, IMEI, and model handy - really confusing! They said they might be able to refund me, but only by putting the money into my bank account - yeah right, like that’s gonna happen!

Got a text from shortcode 64055 claiming to be customer service for a dodgy hair product ad I saw on Facebook. Looks like one of those sneaky 'subscription' scams where you never really sign up properly. When I called to try and cancel it, the automated voice said I needed to have my phone number, IMEI, and model handy (which made no sense to me). They said they’d refund me but only directly to my bank account - right, like I’d ever trust that!

So, I tapped on a hairstyle ad on Facebook and out of nowhere, I got a text saying I’d subscribed to something. Had a chat with my phone provider, O2, and apparently they’ve taken £4.50 from my account. Luckily, they’ve now blocked any further charges from these dodgy companies trying to scam me. It’s a small loss, £4.50, but if they manage to nick that from like 4000 people, that’s quite a bit in their pockets.

Can anyone tell me what’s the best way to sort this out and make these idiots stop taking money for no reason? Happened to me just like someone else mentioned here. I accidentally pressed confirm and now they’re charging me £4.50 every week! Don’t really want to ring 08000689042 though, bit worried about that.

I found £4.50 missing from my phone bill after just scrolling through Facebook, then got hit with a weekly subscription I never agreed to. When I tried to cancel, they offered me a 50% refund but wanted my bank or Paypal info - I wasn't about to share any of that. Definitely a shady scam in my opinion.

I noticed a charge of £4.50 from my mobile network provider, allegedly for just scrolling through Facebook. To my utter disbelief, they enrolled me in some sort of weekly subscription without my consent. When I contacted them to cancel, they dangled a 50% refund in front of me, but insisted on my bank or PayPal particulars. I flatly declined to share any sensitive information. It certainly feels like a scam to me.
