08706091794 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08706091794 👆 is reported as a scam involving unsolicited multimedia messages that automatically trigger premium charges without clear consent or prior warning. Victims receive texts claiming to have downloaded a video and are charged around £5, often with no visible content received. Attempts to contact the sender’s email address yield mixed responses, with some promising refunds via cheque, though success is uncertain. Mobile providers like O2 advise reporting the incident on specialist websites, but this offers little immediate recourse or reimbursement. Calling associated numbers is discouraged as they may be premium rate lines. Users affected are advised to avoid responding, keep records, and consider formal legal action if refunds are not provided, as these practices appear exploitative and possibly illegal.

We received the same message - what on earth was occurring?

I’ve just received a similar experience. We never reached out to this number nor did we install any apps. After managing to get through (it was an automated response), I left a message requesting them to cease all communications. If they fail to process our refund, we might proceed with legal action against them. I highly recommend that anyone else who’s been contacted by this company sends them a formal legal notice as well.

We experienced something quite similar! I shot them an email at [email protected], and they replied in no time. They appeared quite pleasant too. I’m currently in limbo waiting for my refund. Since my phone number has been blocked, I suppose they can't send it back via that route? So, I’m expecting a cheque instead. Not getting my hopes up too high, though!

What’s the best way to send text messages without having to pay for them?

We received the same message! What on earth is happening here?

We've encountered a similar situation as mentioned previously. It's probably best to avoid ringing that number for any complaints, as it's likely a premium rate line. If you're inclined to reach out, an email to [email protected] could be an option, but bear in mind that sharing your email will also give them access to your contact details. Honestly, I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to tackling these persistent nuisances.

We've recently fallen victim to the exact same scam. We received what appeared to be a "service message" that we thought was from Orange. The moment we clicked on it, a video began downloading automatically, which indeed showed up on our device. Shortly after, we were hit with a text message stating that £5 had been deducted from our account. Surely this can't be above board, especially given there was no notification regarding charges before the download commenced. Is there anyone out there who can offer some helpful guidance on how to handle this?

My daughter received a text message claiming it was about a video download. It read something like, “Cheers for downloading the video.” Oddly enough, he never acknowledged the message but noticed that roughly £5 had vanished from her balance. The strange thing is, there doesn’t appear to be anything downloaded on her phone at all. The text even had a phone number: 08706091794. Quite suspicious, isn't it?

I experienced something quite similar earlier today, where I received a multimedia message but there was no video included. Shortly after, I got a text informing me that it would cost us £5. I'm planning to reach out to them via email about it. Cheers for the heads up!

We've had the very same issue as mentioned earlier. We reached out to O2 and they advised us to use this site to report it. However, I've come to the conclusion that this is utterly pointless. Cheers for that, O2! Does anyone have any idea on how to reclaim our funds?

I've just fallen victim to a scam. I received a text claiming it was from a mate, so naturally, we opened the message. It started downloading a video, which we quickly aborted, but then we got another text saying the download was successful, and - would you believe it - it cost us a fiver! I'm planning to shoot them an email, fingers crossed that it does the trick!

We've encountered the very same situation as mentioned earlier. Contacted O2, and they suggested we report this via this online platform. However, I've come to the conclusion that it’s proving to be utterly useless. Cheers to O2! Does anyone have a clue on how I might reclaim my funds?
