65099 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 65099 👆 is reported as a scam involving unsolicited premium-rate text messages from a company known as FruityCell, charging recipients around £3.75 to £4.50 without consent. Many affected users, particularly on the O2 network, experienced repeated charges for messages they never subscribed to and found it difficult to get help. While some providers offered refunds as a goodwill gesture after customer complaints, blocking these messages often requires users to reply with STOP texts, which can themselves incur charges. The Phone-paid Services Authority has fined the responsible company, ordering refunds for victims. Consumers are advised to report the issue to their provider and regulator, forward scam texts to 7726, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service. Fraudulent practices like these highlight the need for stronger industry regulation and customer protection against unauthorised premium texts.

Just a heads up, New Level Ventures got slapped with a £250,000 fine from the PSA because of this dodgy scam. The court also said everyone who got hit by it should get their money back. If you were one of those people and haven’t been refunded yet, you ought to put in a claim.

About three months ago I got a random text from this number and then seen a £3.75 charge on my phone bill. I chatted with O2 online who agreed to refund the £3.75 and said they’d block premium texts on my phone. Today I found out I’ve been charged £3.75 for the last two months but never got any texts from them so I had no idea. I phoned O2 on 202 and spoke to a really nice woman who told me if I reply STOP to 65099 and they still try charging me, O2 can take action since they have proof I asked them to stop. She said to keep any texts from or to them just in case I need evidence.

This is just not right, ive been going through a tough time with anxiety and depression, and now ive got a £3.75 fee from 02 for some unwanted texts. Im annoyed at the company who sent the messages, but honestly, Im way more frustrated with 02 for not checking with me first if I was ok with being charged that amount.

Got charged £3.75 for a text message I never signed up to. Spent ages chatting with 02 online, probably over half an hour, before finally they decided to refund me as a goodwill thing - but only once I got through to a senior supervisor and threatened to complain properly. Also asked them to check if they can offer a way to block premium texts, since atm they only seem to block premium calls. Bit frustrating really.

Referring back to my message from 12 April 2019, I got a text from Kalastia explaining how I could get my £4.50 refund at any local Post Office. I was a bit sceptical at first, but I popped down to the Post Office and they actually gave me the £4.50 in cash. So, while it's a pain to chase Kalastia, it’s definitely worth the effort. Still, it’s not right that companies can just send out random texts and then charge us for them! The mobile networks ought to be blocking these sorts of messages from the start.

I wrote to fruitycell and said I’d take legal steps after getting 2 texts in just 2 months. They said I’d get my money back in about 2 weeks but asked for my bank info, which I gave - account name, number, and sort code. They told me since it’s the info from my cheques, it’s safe and won’t get stolen. Hoping it all works out!

Got a text from 65099 saying "Shopsafe" charged me £3.75. Had no clue about this and definitely didn’t agree to anything like that. Got in touch with O2 on live chat and after I mentioned I might report them to the ICO, they’ve agreed to refund the charge on my bill.

Just like everyone else here, I got billed by my network, O2, for text messages with smoothie recipes. Took ages and a lot of back and forth on live chat before they finally gave me my money back, after all their usual stuff about paying for premium texts. Definitely worth pushing them about stuff like this, fingers crossed they tighten up their rules soon.

I rang my provider to block these kinds of messages and they said I gotta contact the company directly because they can't do it themselves! How is this even allowed??? I really need this to stop, it’s driving me mad!!!

On 21st April I got a text from Shopsafe with some kind of pin code, said if I didn’t ask for it just ignore so I did. Then got a message from 65099 with a link to a smoothie recipe site, it told me to text back stop to cancel so I just blocked the number. After that I received another recipe text from "FreeMsg". On the 24th I noticed a £4.50 charge on my bill for a premium text from 21st April. I contacted O2 via live chat and after a bit of a fight explaining it was spam and why don’t they just google it, they finally agreed to refund £4.50 on my next bill as a goodwill thing.

Just like everyone else, I ended up with random charges from Fruity Cell on my bill. O2 didn’t help at all, saying there was nothing they could do about blocking it and they wouldn’t give me any money back. I had to contact Fruity Cell myself. So now I’m just waiting to see what happens next.

Be sure to take a good look at your mobile bill! I only recently discovered that over the past three months, I’ve been sent a single message from them, and each one set me back a hefty £4.50. It’s clearly a con! Don’t fall into the trap like I did-just erase those messages as spam and reply with STOP. Also, it’s wise to touch base with your mobile provider about this. Mine is sorting out a refund for the premium text message fees that were wrongly billed to me.

I've just checked my mobile bill and it seems that for the past three months, I've either received or sent a solitary message to this number monthly. Honestly, I've got no clue who they are, and I can't find any trace of those messages anywhere. To top it all off, each message is draining £4.50 from my account!

Got a couple of messages from 65099 and another from Shopsafe about some ‘service’ I never signed up for. O2 just passing the buck onto me. I emailed [email protected][###], and they said they’d refund me if I gave them my bank details! I told them no chance, so now they say they’ll send me an SMS I can bring to the post office for a refund. Seems pretty unlikely to me. Honestly, not sure how that’s even allowed.

This number called me too and when I rang O2, they just told me stuff I already knew. They refused to give me any money back and even said I should text STOP to 65099, which was a bit weird!!!

Got a text from 65099 on my fruity phone. They took £4.50 for something I never signed up to. Spent ages chatting with O2, but they just keep saying it’s my fault! Total rubbish! I’ve reported it to the PSA and Action Fraud but feels like a pointless effort, just like dealing with O2. They’re all just protecting each other.

I got dodgy premium texts from a company named FruityCell. First, I got a ShopSafe message with some random pin code which I marked as spam. Not long after, another text arrived with a smoothie recipe, which I never agreed to get. Then a couple of days later, I noticed a £3.75 charge on my phone bill. Proper scam in my opinion.

Fruitycell kept messaging me like 4 times this morning. I ignored all of them and got in touch with 02. They said there’s nothing owing on my account and they’ll keep an eye out. They also put some blocks on my number so it shouldn’t happen again.

Just got a bill from O2 saying I’ve been charged £3.75 for some Fruitycell number (65099) premium rate thing. I got in touch with O2 via live chat and they said they’ll refund me on the next bill as a goodwill thing. If anyone else has been caught out by this, I’d recommend doing the same. They told me to text STOP (which I’d already done) so now I’m gonna keep an eye out in case I get charged for that and sort it if I do.

I went through exactly what others are saying here. I never signed up for their messages like they claimed when I got in touch about getting my £4.50 back for a charge I never agreed to. Funny how loads of comments come from O2 users, but I’m on giffgaff, which uses O2’s network. Seems like more than just a coincidence.

Fruity Cell once more, and just like all those other times, they’ve hit me with a £3.75 charge. I rang the number from the message and they claimed my “phone” somehow signed me up while I was driving and it was tucked away in my handbag. Not bad for an old Samsung S6! The person told me to email their company, which I’ve done, but I’m not really expecting much from that. I’ll be getting in touch with O2 first thing in the morning.

Like loads of others here, I just looked at my O2 bill and saw a £3.75 charge for a texting service I never agreed to. O2 gave me my money back but told me to message the company myself to stop any more texts! Why cant they just block it on my behalf?! I really don’t want to deal with these dodgy people!

Got a random text from Fruitycell out of nowhere. Never agreed to anything like this and they took £3.75 from my account. O2 eventually refunded me after a lot of hassle, calling it a ‘gesture of goodwill’, but they did nothing else about it. Really annoyed that companies like O2 just let these dodgy charges slide and act like they don’t care when customers get scammed. I’ve messaged Fruitycell asking how they even got my number, but haven’t heard back yet.

I was looking at my bill online when I spotted a £3.74 charge for a text about smoothies. I never signed up for anything like that, but now O2 are telling me I must have done! I’ve been with O2 for pretty much 40 years, so it's a bit of a shock. I’m seriously thinking about switching providers. My main worry is this might happen again, especially since I nearly just deleted the message thinking it was spam!

I got three texts from 65099 even though I never signed up for anything this morning. Now my bill has an extra charge of £3.75. I rang my provider but they just told me to text STOP to 9011. Fruitycell[###] is definitely a scam because anyone can put any phone number on their website and there’s no verification or confirmation. Loads of people are having the same issues. You can't even get through to them on their site since it doesn’t work properly (another scam, I guess). I’ve emailed them three times at [email protected][###] to get fruitycell[###] closed. It’s a total rip-off.

I hardly ever look at my phone bills, so I was really surprised to see I'd been hit with a £4.50 charge every month for the last three months for some "premium messages" from 65099.

Got a smoothie text in January, just chucked it away then but later saw my bill was higher and they'd charged me £4.50 for the message! Like others mentioned, it’s fruity cell. I rang 3 and the bloke told me to text stop, which I’ve done, so fingers crossed that’s sorted now. He gave me an email for oxygen8 customer care, so I’ll be emailing them for a refund. Also, I’ve reported it to the PSA.

I noticed I was getting billed £3.75 every month for the last 3 months, so I looked into it today. My phone company told me to text STOP, which I did. I also phoned the firm behind it - it’s something called Fruity Cell or similar, no idea what that is. They've said they've blocked any more charges now. Fingers crossed that sorts it!

Got some annoying premium texts that cost me £4.50 each. Called 02033184327 and asked them to remove me from their list. The woman advised me to email [email protected][###] to ask for my money back. Will wait and see if that actually helps.

I've been getting charged an extra £4.50 for the last three months. I phoned their number last month and hit the option to unsubscribe, but they still took the money this month. I’ve just messaged STOP back to them, which still cost me, but fingers crossed it means no more charges now.

Got messages from a company called “fruity cell”. It’s a premium rate reverse billing number - complete ripoff, charging £4.50 for each text they send. Someone suggested texting “STOP ALL” to 65099 to stop getting their messages. Worth a try to avoid more charges!

Had a look at my phone bill today and noticed I was charged for 4 premium texts from this number in the past couple of months. 3 of them were actually quite useful, giving clear info on how to stop the charges and claim a refund. They recognised the issue straight away, and it looks like loads of mobile users on various networks have been hit by the same problem.

65099 - got a couple of texts in the last couple of months about a smoothie recipe I never signed up for. Both messages charged me £3.75 each. I rang 02 and they told me to reply STOP to 65099, which I did, and they also gave me my money back. 02 mentioned they can't actually block premium texts, so I'll wait and see if I get more next month!

Following up on my comment from 18/01/19, I've just got a cheque for the £4.50 I was charged for the text. Now I’m just waiting to see if it actually clears. Definitely worth shooting them an email to get your money back.

Had a look at that fruity cell site linked to 65099. Says they’re not accepting any new clients now. They only got registered with the regulators to send texts back in December 2018 and are located in Cyprus. If you’ve been getting messages from them, try calling 02033184327. If no one picks up, keep ringing throughout the day. After that, you might want to reach out to the regulators at psauthority[###][###] and file a complaint about 65099.

Thieves, got a random text on 18/01, no clue who it’s from or was cos no saved message anywhere. Contacted my provider’s helpdesk, useless lot who just said it’s not their problem and I must’ve signed up for something - which I definitely DIDN'T. Premium services are meant to be blocked on my account but somehow this slipped through and could happen again. Honestly, if it does, I might just not bother paying my phone bill. Absolute wankers and money grabbers, all of them! ??????

Got a text from 65099 on Boxing Day with a freemsg after it. Then I noticed they’d taken £3.75 out of my account! I blocked 65099 but today I got two more messages from them! I’ve told o2 about it. You can send the messages to 7726 (no cost) and your network should deal with it. I’m hesitant to reply STOP in case it costs me or makes them send even more messages!!!

I got a message from fruity cell and they took £3.75 off me. I never asked for their texts or wanted them in the first place. How is this allowed? I’m totally lost on what to do now. I’ve reported the number but just got another text from them today. If you reply stop, they charge you again. This has gotta be illegal, maybe even a police issue. It feels like fraud or theft to me.

I never actually signed up for this site but still got a message from them which charged me £3.75. I didn’t reply to stop any more texts as I heard that would just add to my bill. I ended up calling 03333137900 to have my number taken off their list, then sent an email to [email protected][###], telling them I’d called and giving them 48 hours to return my money or else I’ll report them for fraud/theft.

Got a random text from 65099 on Dec 23rd and they charged me £3.75 for it! Luckily O2 were brilliant and gave me a £10 credit, covering the charge and what I'll lose when I text STOP to block them. Does anyone know if this number can be reported anywhere? I'm gonna ask some friends in the police if there's any action possible under the Telecomms Act, this feels like proper theft!
