Phone number ☎️ 08004080791 👆 is reported as linked to unauthorised and recurring premium charge scams often associated with a company called Quiztonic or related entities. Many users experience unexplained weekly deductions from their pay-as-you-go or contract mobile accounts, commonly around £4.50, without having consented to subscriptions. Attempts to unsubscribe via text or phone frequently fail or result in continued charges. Some telecom providers block these numbers and charges, but others are less proactive, leaving customers out of pocket. There are reports of a refund process involving a specific helpline number, but patience and documentation are essential. Consumers should report these issues to their network operators and the Phone-paid Services Authority to help combat these deceptive billing practices. Vigilance when entering competitions or engaging with unsolicited texts is strongly advised.

10 yearsI am also experiencing deductions from my pay-as-you-go (PAYG) mobile phone credit. Vodafone said they would block the number, but unfortunately, it only lasted a few weeks as I received a text from quiz tonic today, once again. I have never had any transaction with this company, and this unauthorized deduction has left me financially worse off.Vodafone10 yearsI am facing the same issue of deductions being made from my pay-as-you-go phone credit. Vodafone assured me that they had blocked the number, but unfortunately, this action only lasted a few weeks. Today, I received another text from Quiz Tonic, a company I have never used before. This has resulted in a financial loss for me.VodafoneQuiz Tonic10 yearsMy telecommunications provider (Three) gave me this specific number to claim a refund of £49.50 for 11 unauthorized charges of £4.50 each. When dialing the number, it directs calls to an Australian organization that specializes in recovering funds from offenders worldwide. To successfully contact them, you will need to have the "short code" (in my case, 662990) on hand, as well as the dates when your telecommunications provider charged you £4.50. The necessary information should be available in your billing statement. Once connected, you will be presented with three options. Choose the third option and patiently wait for an operator. The operator will coordinate the refund process with the offender. To receive your refund, visit any Post Office and present them with a lengthy number sent to you via text. It took me a month to receive this number. Although I haven't redeemed it yet, please note that it must be done within 30 days.ThreePost Office10 yearsIn order to reclaim £49.50 for unauthorized charges, my telecom provider (Three) provided me with a specific number to call.

Has anyone had any success in getting their phone service provider to block payments to Quiztonic?Quiztonic10 yearsI reached out to my mobile network, Tesco, whom I cannot speak highly enough of. They suggested that I put in place a premium text and adult block on my phone to prevent any further charges caused by QuizTonic.

It's quite frightening, so everyone should be careful when participating in free competitions!TescoQuizTonic10 yearsI am being charged by a particular number without my consent.
