60077 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 60077 👆 is reported as associated with a widespread scam involving unsolicited premium-rate texts charging around £3.75 to £4.50 per message, often linked to fake competitions or branded as Tesco, Asda, or similar retailers. Many users report unexpected, recurring charges without clear consent or easy opt-out options. Attempts to halt messages by texting “STOP” frequently fail or incur further costs. Complaints indicate mobile providers vary in responsiveness, with some blocking the number and issuing refunds, while others decline assistance. The culprit company, frequently named PrizeHook or SP2, uses deceptive tactics and has triggered numerous reports to Trading Standards and consumer protection agencies. Victims are advised to block the number, report to their provider, avoid responding to texts, and pursue complaints via official channels for potential refunds and to help curb this fraudulent activity.

Finally found a way to deal with this! I was getting loads of messages from Teletext. They say you should text "Stop" to 60077 to opt out. DON’T fall for it! If you do, you’re just lining their pockets and the messages might not even stop. What worked for me was, when you get the spam text, open it, hit the menu (could be the three dots in the corner), go to "Details", then choose "Block and report spam" or something similar. That did the trick for me!

60077 took £4.50 from me for a single text. Tried ringing them to sort a refund, fingers crossed. Got a free message saying all comps on that number are cancelled and they won’t send more texts. If you wanna ask anything, ring their customer services on 03301340183.

Over the past few weeks, I've been charged four separate times, each £3.75, for some number I don't even recognise. I’m clueless about who they are, but I’m definitely planning to put a stop to it. No idea who to reach out to in order to get taken off their list though.

Absolute rip offs! Got random texts charging me £3.75 a pop (which goes up to £4.50 with VAT). If you’ve been caught out and lost cash too, do everyone a favour and report it to Trading Standards. The more complaints they get, the better chances they have of shutting these pests down. Just spent some time on the phone notifying them myself.

You won’t believe this! The DVLA rang me from this number to remind me my car tax was due. They charged me £10 just for that! I called Three and the woman there actually rang the company while I was still on the line, then put me through to them. The person from the company explained everything, offered to block the service, and said they’d send me a text so I could claim a refund from the Post Office. Haven’t got the text yet, but it’s only been like 10 minutes since I hung up. Fingers crossed.

Just reply with "STOP ALL" in capitals to stop the texts and any charges, but I still never got my cash back despite complaining to every authority I could think of.

I accidentally hit a button on my iPad and ended up getting charged for this service. When I spotted the charges, I quickly sent a 'stop' message, but right away, another text came through saying I wouldn't get any more messages. Honestly, these schemes need to be banned.

Virgin have charged me for loads of texts I never sent or even knew about. I’ve paid my usual bills to Virgin, but I’m not handing over money to these scammers. I’ve emailed them saying I won’t be paying these dodgy charges. Still, Virgin haven’t sorted out my service yet. I reckon Virgin must be in on this scam somehow. I’ve also cancelled my direct debit with them. Now I’m just waiting to see what these con artists will do next.

I got texts from numbers 60 077 and 61 991 saying Tesco was inviting me to join a competition to win £500. I thought it was legit Tesco so I replied to the question. Turns out I’ve been charged £4.50 each week for the last month without noticing until my bill showed up. Tesco’s my phone provider so I contacted them - they’ve blocked the numbers now but refuse to give me any refund even though they used Tesco’s name. Phonepayplus is a nightmare to deal with when trying to complain. This is a proper scam and really needs to be shut down by law.

I was going through my O2 bill and found five separate charges of £4.50 each. I rang O2 to ask about it. They were really helpful and actually phoned the company responsible, called "SP2", who run something called "Prize Hook". I ended up on a conference call with an SP2 rep, where I explained I never signed up for their competition (which apparently is only done online), and I’d never got any of the texts they charged me for. So I only found out about all this when checking my bill, and I couldn’t even send “STOP” to opt out. The SP2 person checked with their team and agreed to refund me as a one-off. They said I’ll get a text from the Post Office, and once I show that message at my local Post Office, I’ll get the refund. Honestly, places like SP2 shouldn’t be allowed to keep operating like this.

I got a text from 60077 saying: “FreeMsg Reminder: You’re signed up to the PrizeHook Gift Cards competition & £250k Draw costing £4.50 each week until you text STOP to 60077. Need help? 03301340183.” When I checked my phone credit, £4.50 had been taken. I’d only just topped up yesterday, so it was easy to spot the difference. I called Tesco Mobile on 0345 301 4455 and after going through all the automated options, I finally talked to someone who said they couldn’t help and told me to ring the number mentioned in the scam message.

I got this after visiting the Tesco website and just like everyone else, I fell for it. I called them but the messages keep arriving. I reported it to the Telephone Preference Service but no luck so far. Don’t answer their texts or they’ll charge you another £4.50. There really should be some laws to put a stop to these scammers.

I got caught out by this scam too - it was a supposed deal on Facebook for a Sainsbury's gift card. I figured I was careful, but since I’m a regular Sainsbury's shopper, I assumed it was legit. Then I spotted a £4.50 charge for a subscription and was lucky enough to find out how to cancel it, with a confirmation too. But I also saw they charged me 12p just for cancelling! Thought it was all sorted until today, when I received another text about a prize offer, and now I’m worried they might have taken another £4.50. Is there any way to report this company?

Really smooth looking site pretending to be Tesco. It’s not Tesco at all and has no connection with them. I’ve spoken to Tesco, and they’re working on getting it taken down. It’s a pricey scam. I’m currently sorting out making sure I’ve unsubscribed. Prizehook is definitely a prize scam.

So I took part in an online contest to try and win an iPhone, bit daft I know, and now I'm getting loads of texts on my phone. I replied to a number, 60077, with "STOP" and they sent back a message saying I've been taken off the list. Fingers crossed that actually sorts it, because I don't want any charges. Has anyone else gone through something similar? What happened in your case?

Complete rip-off, dont even think about opening the texts or they charge you £15.00 before the bill even comes through.

Just send an email saying STOP, STOP ALL along with your phone number to [email protected][###], as these are the ones who actually take the money, and the charges stop straight away.

Once again I got caught up with these calls. I’ve texted ‘stop’ and even phoned 03301340183 to ask them to stop contacting me. My mobile company, which I’ve used for more than 20 years, wasn’t much help apart from telling me to text stop and giving me that number. I also blocked the number on my iPhone but that doesn't seem to stop the calls either. I honestly think providers ought to do more to help with this. Curious to see some folks getting refunds while others don’t.

I honestly thought I was signing up for some kind of contest, like loads of people do - won’t be falling for that again. Luckily, my Giffgaff plan stops any funds being added to my phone, so I guess I dodged a bullet this time.

Prize Hook are running a scam using Tesco's name. I've been wrongly charged £4.50 by these bunch of crooks. Tesco, my mobile provider, has refused to give my money back even though they admit they know this is a scam. The only thing they agreed to do was block any more texts from these scammers, fingers crossed that stops it. Really let down by Tesco, I reckon if they wanted to, they could stop this messing about with their customers. The text number Prize Hook use is 60077.

This is total scam!!! I was under the impression, just like most folks, that I was dealing with Tesco. Sending "stop" doesnt work at all!! This is criminal, so why do the phone companies and police just let it go on?

I got a random text about a TESCO survey from some unknown sender. I spent time filling it out, thinking it was legit. After that, I started getting loads of messages trying to get me to join some contest. Since I wasn’t interested, I just kept deleting them. Then, to my surprise, my phone bill shot up to more than double the usual amount. When I rang my phone company, they told me the extra charges were for receiving messages from a premium rate number. Eventually, I contacted my provider again, and they advised me to block the messages instead of deleting them. They even helped me contact the spammer and managed to get back the money they’d unfairly charged me.

I entered what I thought was a Facebook competition with this firm claiming to be Tesco! Since then, I’ve had 3 messages from them, one even said I signed up for a competition charging me £4.50 a week! I definitely never agreed to anything like that! I contacted my mobile provider and they refunded all the money they had taken and also stopped me from receiving any more premium texts! This is such a con, these people shouldn’t be allowed to carry on doing this!

Just got stung for £4.50 from what looks like an Asda scam by prizehook. I texted stop and got a reply saying it’s been cancelled. We’ll see I guess, might have to switch my number. Virgin weren’t any help, said they can’t block calls from third party numbers. It came from Freemsg 60077.

I'm a stressed caregiver (my partner is really unwell) and i’m sick of these texts! I replied STOP but got charged £4.50 anyway, and the messages keep arriving. I don’t have much time to go through all my bills, but today i got 2 messages so i looked at my mobile bill and found out i’ve been charged £4.50 every week. I'm so annoyed!! I just spoke to my provider who said they will block the number, but it’ll take 24 hours to kick in! Fingers crossed it works!!!

I filled out an online form that said it was for a TESCO prize. Soon after, I started getting messages from prize hook[###]. They wanted to charge me £4.50 every week. There was an option to text STOP to 60077, but when I tried, my phone warned me it would cost extra on top of my monthly plan. I didn’t send the text but looked up ‘prizehook’ online and found this site [#]prizehook[###]/contact_us.php where you can cancel the messages. I haven’t checked if they’ve already taken money for any texts but I’m about to call my mobile provider to block this number.

Im normally pretty cautious about stuff like this, but I got caught out this time. Saw my phone bill was kinda higher than usual. Turned out it was prizehook. I rang my network and they’ve stopped any more texts coming through. Would tell anyone else to do this too. Definitely learnt my lesson the hard way.

Simplest way to stop these messages is head over to prizehook[###]/contact_us.php, pop in your phone number and the shortcode (the number they text from) - nothing else is needed - and you'll quickly get a message confirming everything’s been cancelled. I’d also suggest blocking the number on your phone or through your network provider just to be safe.

I believed I was signing up for a Tesco competition, but then I got a text saying I was enrolled in a weekly draw costing £4.50 each week. It said to type STOP TO 60077 to cancel. I tried sending that twice but both messages failed. I looked up number 60077 online and came across this forum. Totally agree, these folks are dishonest and should be ashamed for tricking people like this. I ended up using the prize hook site to unsubscribe and received a message confirming it was done. We'll see if it actually works. Jc

I was told I could win a £250 tesco voucher but I pressed no, that’s what’s annoying me. I reckon if I text STOP to that 600 number, it’ll charge me £4.50 and probs not even stop the messages! Can anyone let me know where it’s coming from and who’s behind it please?

I wasn’t aware you had to sign up, it only showed after I’d answered the question, and by then it was too late. I’ve gotten like six texts from them all within an hour.

Got a call from Tesco asking me to do a survey, so I did since I shop there and also have a Tesco PAYG phone. But as soon as I finished, PrizeHook charged me £7.50 from my balance! I checked online and filed a complaint with PrizeHook. This is a total con, trying to make folks believe it's Tesco calling. Such a bad scam.

Just like loads of others here, ive ended up with two £4.50 charges for texts I never asked for or gave permission to. Honestly, this feels like plain theft to me. The phone companies letting these messages through are basically helping these scammers, so they’re just as much a part of the problem.

Got a message from 60077 and got charged just for getting it. It's been a nightmare trying to put a stop to it, and looks like it might be linked to Tesco somehow? Told my network about it, fingers crossed they’ll sort it out and block it for me.

They charged me twice £3.75 but I never entered any contests or anything!!! They said they'll refund me and block the number but I haven't sent STOP yet and honestly don’t wanna get charged again. I’ll call them later. Only spotted it because my phone bill was more than normal. I just ignored their messages thinking it was spam!!! But it actually costs money to get their texts!!! Seriously, these lot need to be shut down.

Ended up getting scammed and lost £18 before I found out who was taking the cash. I’m definitely going to report it to trading standards as I never actually messaged this number. They must’ve grabbed my details from a Tesco competition I entered. Just a heads up, be careful!

Every Tuesday at exactly 7:34pm, I was hit with four sneaky charges. Didn’t sign up for anything or join any contests, never sent them a text. After a chat with O2, they suggested I send a STOP message, which finally stopped the payments. But when it came to getting a refund, O2 refused, insisting I must have opted in - even though I never shared my number with anyone. Feels like a racket to me, and I bet O2’s making a tidy profit from it. That’s it, I’m done with O2!

Same here, I thought I was signing up for a Tesco quiz but ended up in some PrizeHook thing instead. I texted STOP straight away but they still keep sending me messages even a week later. I’m gonna call their Customer Services tomorrow, really hope it stops then. It's starting to stress me out.

I tried getting a refund from O2 but they just passed me the phone number of the so-called company involved. I used an automated system to unsubscribe from 'the competition', but they said since I’d lawfully entered, no refund was due. Honestly, I reckon O2 ought to drop the charges - not sure why they’re inconsistent about this, sometimes they refund and other times they don’t.

Just got my 02 bill and saw they charged me for texts I supposedly sent and received. I contacted 02 to block the number, but they told me I needed to text STOP to 60077 first. I did that and got an instant response, which was meant to be free, saying all competition entries linked to that shortcode are cancelled now. I'm not sure if that applies to everyone or just me, or if they've switched to a new shortcode. Luckily, 02 refunded the charges and have been really supportive throughout.

None of us signed up for this mess, so honestly, the phone companies should be held responsible since they're allowing it to happen. If a scammer rings asking for cash, you’d tell them straight off to buzz off, so the phone companies must be well aware of this but just let it slide.

Got two texts charged £3.75 each from LOT Polish airlines, number 60077, saying TO RECEIVE!! in Poland. But I was definitely in England during those billing dates. I did fly from Warsaw to Gdansk and back in Poland between those bills, but never got any messages from the airline itself, only dealt with them at the airport. Also, I don’t speak a word of Polish, so this feels really fishy.

I got in touch with Virgin Media because my mobile bill was way higher than normal, and they gave me a full breakdown of the costs. They told me to stop texts coming from number 60077 because I was getting charged £4.50 per message! I honestly had no idea who 60077 was or why I was getting these messages since I never entered any contests. Does anyone know if I have any chance of getting my money back from the company behind those texts? Cheers, Lorraine.

I got in touch with the CAB and through them contacted Trading Standards about this. I’ve also asked my mobile provider to block texts from third parties. I’d recommend everyone does the same, maybe if enough folks complain to Trading Standards something will finally be done. The website [#]prizehook[###]/ doesn’t show any physical address which, as far as I know, is illegal.
