10 yearsIf you happen to see this, could you share the email address Worldpay provided? I’m struggling to reach them by phone about a similar issue - £26 was taken from our ICUK phone account overnight. Our automatic fraud alert picked it up, but getting hold of them is proving really difficult.WorldpayICUK11 yearsGot charged an extra £24 on my bill from this number, even tho I’ve never called it. Anyone knows what’s happening here?11 yearsI RECEIVED A TALK TALK BILL SHOWING AN UNKNOWN CHARGE OF OVER £55 ON MY ACCOUNT. I RANG WORLDPAY WHO ADMITTED THIS WAS AN ERROR AND THEY OFFERED TO REFUND ME STRAIGHTAWAY. IT’S MIND-BOGGLING THAT WORLDPAY DIDN’T GET IN TOUCH WITH ME FIRST TO WARN ME ABOUT THIS - WHY STAY SILENT OVER SOMETHING SO SHADY? I THINK THE PRESS SHOULD LOOK CLOSER INTO HOW WORLDPAY MISTREAT SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH THESE UNEXPLAINED FEES. I RUN A SMALL FISHING TACKLE SHOP IN ABERYSTWYTH, MID WALES. IF ANYONE EXPERIENCES SIMILAR, FEEL FREE TO RING ME ON 01970611200.TalkTalkWorldpayAberystwythMid Wales11 yearsI just checked my phone bill email and was shocked to see the same issue as mentioned here - the Worldpay machine keeps calling a ‘PREMIUM’ number for updates. I’d been with Streamline for over three decades before Worldpay took over and never noticed charges like this. It’s ridiculous that after hiring their terminal, they’re now making me pay because it dials up a premium rate number for updates. I’m definitely going to send them a complaint email and demand a refund for these unfair fees hitting small business owners like me.WorldpayStreamline11 yearsCheers for the warning, everyone. I ended up with an extra £29 charge on my bill thanks to their problems with updates between the 11th and 15th of November 2015.11 yearsI had an identical issue and ended up calling Worldpay. They provided me with an email I could use. You need to photocopy your invoice, include your merchant number, and then request a refund from them.WorldPay11 yearsI’m having a similar problem with my BT phone account. Over a three month span, it’s showing about 19 calls made in the wee hours of the morning. One night alone had 9 calls, with the longest call nearly hitting 70 minutes, which cost me £5.90. When I got in touch with BT, they told me Worldpay is to blame. I was told the terminal was updated during this period. I figured they’d be calling in to the system, not the other way round with the terminal calling out. Feels like some kind of software glitch, but who knows for sure.BTWorldpay11 yearsI’ve been using a Cardsave terminal for a good few years now, which is now under the Worldpay name. Usually, I notice small charges on my phone bill, probably some kind of midnight testing. But this month, my bill shows three deductions from the number 0844 9940388: - 11th Nov at 00:27, lasted 2 minutes 11 seconds, cost £0.362 - Same day at 00:34, for 1 minute 12 seconds, cost £11.748 - Again at 01:47, 3 minutes 30 seconds, cost £0.592 Altogether, that adds up to £12.702, which seems a bit steep for something happening when I’m fast asleep! Christine [email protected]CardsaveWorldpayChristine11 yearsBack in January 2015, I ended my deal with Worldpay and sent their terminal back the following month. Yet, this number keeps showing up on my phone bill even now. I’ve called them up about it and am planning to claim for all the extra charges. I questioned how they’re still charging me for a terminal that hasn’t been at my place for ages - over nine months! Unfortunately, they had no answer for me at all.Worldpay11 yearsWorld pay has been giving me a headache too. I tried ringing them a bunch of times but got no real help. Can anyone tell me who I need to reach out to in order to get my money back?Worldpay11 yearsI nearly freaked out when my phone bill suddenly shot up to twice the normal amount in just three days. Turns out my WorldPay terminal was trying to download an update but kept redialling the same number over and over. I got in touch with WorldPay, and although that number didn’t appear on their usual list of problem contacts, they trusted what I said and provided an email to apply for a refund. They were super helpful and didn’t make a fuss about it at all. After going through my past bills, I saw that this number gets called every month but normally only costs me around 30p.WorldPay11 yearsI just noticed this number on my phone statement and have no idea who it belongs to. It's kinda worrying me.11 yearsNoticed a mysterious £20 charge on my BT bill, so I rang up my card machine provider. Turns out, the machine calls that number for updates, and one call apparently lasted more than an hour! Thankfully, the card company is sorting me out with a refund.11 yearsWoke up this morning to my phone blowing up from 084499038 and noticed it was my Worldpay card machine dialing non stop for about an hour! Ive racked up a bill around £24 already. If you use one of these machines, be sure to contact the operator quick for a refund before it gets worse!11 yearsThis number kept showing up on our shop bills quite often, usually at strange hours. I rang TalkTalk to find out what was going on, but they said it might be linked to some third-party service, like a security system or fax machine, which definitely wasn’t the case! I said I’d look into it myself, but now I’m certain she wasn’t being honest. I’m writing to them with screenshots of the bills, asking for a full refund and planning to switch providers!TalkTalk11 yearsAvoid calling this number, as it’ll cost you 90p per minute!11 yearsBest telecom, not a single scam company.BES Telecom11 yearsI had a terrible experience with Bes Telecom. They charged me an extra £33 for calls made between 4:08am and 10:50pm in a single day (number 08449940338). When I tried to get help, no one answered the phone. Customer service was awful. Definitely avoid using this company.11 yearsAvoid BES Telecom at all costs, they are a scam. They charged me hidden fees and their customer service is just awful. Really disappointed with how they treated me.Bes Telecom11 yearsI'm quite concerned because it seems like this unfamiliar number 'Special Number - G6' has been dialled from my phone late at night when the house is empty. Could someone please look into this? Thanks a lot.11 yearsI've received calls from this number repeatedly. It's quite irritating, to be honest.11 yearsJust spoke to customer service and apparently if you want your refund, Worldpay will provide you with an address to send it to. Seems like it’s some kind of mistake.Worldpay11 yearsThis happened to me too, using the phone from my shop sometime around midnight to 3 in the morning. The shop had been shut for hours by then. I’m really baffled about who these folks are and how they’re even able to pull this off. We have a Worldpay card terminal installed, yet I just can’t figure out how this keeps going on.11 yearsI've no idea why this number keeps popping up on my landline, it's really confusing!12 yearsI just checked my Virgin Media bill and noticed this number called twice at a ridiculous hour when no one’s even awake here. Turns out it’s my cardsave terminal causing the calls. Had to send them a copy of my bill to get it sorted. The lady I spoke to was really polite and sorry, even after I went on a bit of a rant!Virgin MediaCardsave12 yearsWhile I was on holiday, I spotted some weird calls on my TalkTalk app from around 3 to 7 in the morning, racking up £16.56. TalkTalk told me we were liable since the calls came from our landline. I insisted no one was home, and a mate even came over to check the place and all was fine. They claimed it was the Ingenico card machine, but they refused to give a refund. I've now disconnected the device, yet getting any proper help feels impossible. We'll be sending the machine back soon and hunting for a new phone provider that can actually prevent this stuff. It’s really upsetting - another holiday spoiled by all this stress.TalkTalk12 yearsI own a little store that uses a Payzone terminal. I've noticed loads of calls coming through, mostly just charging a few pence, like 3 or 4p, but a few have been way more, like over £4. The thing is, these calls happen really early in the morning, well before I open the shop. Isn't this meant to be against the law or something?12 yearsSpent £48 in just one night because of this. The folks from Ingenico, the card machine company, told me to ring this number??? Seriously? TalkTalk should really give us our money back. If they refuse, I reckon I’ll have to get on Facebook and warn everyone not to use Ingenico or TalkTalk again.IngenicoTalkTalk12 yearsYorkshire Bank's merchant services have rang me like 65 times this month. It's getting a bit much!Yorkshire Bank12 yearsHad a look at my phone bill for this month cause it was way higher than normal. Again the usual nonsense... Spotted a call to 0844 9940338, some multimedia number, made at about 5:30 in the morning from our shop (and we dont open till 9:30). Seems like it was done via the Streamline card reader. I’m gonna ring the phone provider first thing tomorrow. Has anyone managed to get any money back?12 yearsWe run a tiny little store inside a shopping centre. These calls come through really early in the morning, well before the mall opens and when no one, including us, can get into the shop! Isn’t this actually ILLEGAL or something??? I’m definitely NOT going to pay for these calls. Proper annoyed about it!13 yearsHas anyone else been getting calls from 08712001435 as well?13 yearsWe had the same thing happen and ended up losing about £60 over just a couple of days, anyone know how to put a stop to this??13 yearsThis number has cheated me too... I got charged £15.62 including vat. However, they gave me a contact name for a refund. They asked me to send all my phone bills as proof. The address they gave me is: Elizabeth Wilson, customer service, Euro Centre, 14 Woodhall Rd, Motherwell, ML1 4YT.Elizabeth WilsonWoodhall Road Motherwell13 yearsIn just 3 days, I’ve been hit with a charge of £9.04, which is ridiculous! I never dialled this number myself. It looks like the card machine from Streamline is somehow making these calls on its own. On my bill, it’s listed as a 'special number' - and get this, 6 calls happened in just one day! Proper annoying.Streamline13 yearsIn just three days, they took £44 from my account, and I have no idea what steps I should take now!13 yearsI’ve just started using CardSave for my Merchant Services Terminal, which seems to be linked up with Streamline and WorldPay. Unfortunately, putting an ADSL filter in won’t stop the terminal from ringing a Premium Rate line. I thought I’d be saving money on rental fees, but it looks like those savings are just covering the expensive calls to 08449940338 - roughly £13 each month, which adds up to around £150 a year. When I signed up, I was told all calls would go to Freephone numbers, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Feels like a proper rip-off, honestly!Merchant Services TerminalsCardSaveStreamlineWorldPayBritainSubmit Your Own Report (0844 994 0338)
