66033

This number has been texting me quite a few times saying they are from EE about setting up my phone and broadband. I’m pretty sure it’s not really EE though.

I'm being billed for something I'm completely in the dark about. I need this to be resolved, and pronto!

Get in touch with the PhonepayPlus website.
For almost a year, my husband was receiving a text message every Saturday without fail! He simply deleted them without a second glance and didn’t mention a word, as the texts had some cheeky reference to 'stunning ladies' :), but when he finally brought it up, I took a look at his phone bills and discovered they were charging him £2.50 each time! I filled out a complaint form with every bit of information I could muster for PhonepayPlus, and I’m thrilled to report that I’ve just received a complete refund of £144 in my PayPal account.

There’s an abundance of these dodgy characters lurking about. Don't hesitate to raise your concerns with your mobile provider and request a reimbursement.

I’ve never been in touch with this lot, yet they’ve managed to siphon off £15 from my account each month for premium rate texts!

This is downright outrageous; it's theft, plain and simple, to siphon money from individuals' accounts. I intend to reclaim every last penny from this dreadful company.

Since May, I've been hit with a monthly charge of £15, and as I tend to use just the mobile version to check my account, I completely overlooked what those additional fees pertained to. I just assumed it was for things like picture messages or the like! £15 a month is quite a shocker! How on earth can I put a stop to this and get my money back?

Absolutely, it seems likely that it’s merely a clever ruse to swindle your cash through pay-as-you-go mobile plans. What a right cheek!

Urgent assistance needed! Over the last few months, I've been hit with an average charge of £20 each month for this and another number. Unfortunately, O2 is proving to be no help at all. Does anyone have any advice on how I could possibly reclaim my funds? Cheers!

I’ve had a chat with O2, and they suggested I shoot a text over to 66033 with the word STOP. Fingers crossed that does the trick!

I’ve just noticed a £15 deduction from my O2 account, which is absolutely outrageous. I’ve already blocked the number, yet they continue to get through. It’s scandalous that they can operate like this without any repercussions.

my young lad had over £100 taken from his account without my permission. I phoned the phone company first, but they said there was nothing they could do and just gave me another number to call. when i rang that number, they agreed to stop the charges and sent me a refund cheque. it’s just frustrating that the phone provider didn’t warn me or step in sooner before it got that high. feels like they might be working together or hoping i wouldn’t catch on?

I reckon you should reach out to OFCOM and let them know what's going on. Your service provider ought to assist you in obtaining a refund while you're at it. Make sure to review all the dates they billed you for, and seek to reclaim every penny you’re owed.

By signing into your Vodafone account online, you have the ability to manage your telephone call preferences, including the option to block both incoming and outgoing calls to premium rate numbers. I found the settings to make these adjustments were there, and they assisted me in sorting it out. After lodging a complaint, I even managed to get a refund for the charges. However, it feels like a bit of a scam overall; it’s like daylight robbery! If I were to nick three quid’s worth of goods from a shop, I’d be in hot water with the law straight away!

I can't believe I've been fleeced by these charlatans! They snuck a charge of £3 per text out of my pocket without so much as a nod of consent! I've sent a "STOP" message, blocked the number, and even shot an email over to zamano.com, which seems to be the source of these irritating messages. Fingers crossed they cease their relentless harassment. So far, I’ve steered clear of the Vodafone support line-I've heard it’s a right mess-but I suppose reaching out to them might be my next move? Does anyone have any other bright ideas on how to tackle this pesky situation?

I've had a pair of text messages land in my inbox out of the blue, and I’m completely baffled as to their origin. To make matters worse, they’ve slapped a charge of £8.00 on my account. My service provider isn’t able to halt these messages either, which is rather frustrating!

I encountered a similar issue, as I had never visited any such website before. Suddenly, I began receiving unsolicited messages and found myself being charged £3 each time. I reached out to my service provider, who managed to block those premium rate numbers for me. After a bit of back and forth, I even managed to get a refund for the charges, following several complaints!

Blimey, how do I put an end to these calls? As a woman, I definitely don’t need any of those so-called lady services!

What on earth is this charge and why am I being billed for it? How can I put a stop to this nonsense?

Could you share how you managed to get your money back?

I keep receiving text messages from this number, and I’m utterly puzzled as to how they obtained my contact details.

I've been receiving messages from this number at a rate of four per week, and they’re costing me £2.50 each time. We’ve attempted to send a 'STOP' text and even blocked the number, but to no avail; the messages keep coming through. I’ve never registered for anything and haven’t a clue what these messages pertain to. Is there anyone who could shed some light on this?

Blimey, the expense these individuals have caused me is simply outrageous! It’s high time someone stepped in to put an end to this nonsense. The authorities overseeing these phone numbers ought to take some decisive measures promptly!

I've noticed that both of my lads have been racking up charges from this number - six messages in just the past week. I foot the bill for both their phones, and they swear they haven’t a clue why this is happening. Do you reckon that blocking the number might do the trick?

Absolute disgrace, these vermin... they’re preying on honest, hardworking folks. My father, who's 70, has been getting fleeced by this number month after month, with charges ranging from £15 to £20. It baffles me how phone networks let these dodgy numbers clutter our messages!
Bristol

I couldn't fathom where my credit was disappearing to.

Then it dawned on me - those pesky spam texts that invade my phone every Friday night just about 8!

I've never registered my number for this, yet I keep getting charged £3.00 for each text. What on earth is going on? This can’t be above board. I kindly request that you cease sending these messages immediately and arrange for a refund of my £18.00. Cheers!

Bloomin' nuisance with those spam messages! Could you kindly send this over to Phone Pay Plus? Cheers!

Have you reached out to your mobile provider or the firm that placed the call?

I've been getting messages from this number that include some link about "babe's." Honestly, I haven't a clue what it's regarding, but it's costing me £3 each time! My service provider is being unhelpful and won't block it. Any tips on how I can stop these texts and reclaim my cash?

I've taken the liberty of notifying PhonepayPlus, the authoritative body responsible for overseeing premium-rate phone services throughout the UK. I've already lodged a complaint regarding this number. It turns out that the perpetrators go by the name Zanamo Solutions and they're operating out of Dublin. Their office is located at: 3rd Floor, Hospitality House, 16-20 Cumberland Street South, Dublin 2, D2. Moreover, they appear to have ties with a rather dubious outfit called Cellso. Cellso can be found at: 35 Firs Avenue, North London, N11 3NE. Interestingly, this address is home to numerous companies, some of which claim to be worth millions. When you take a gander on Google Street View, it just looks like a quiet little residential area. There’s definitely something fishy afoot, though I can't quite put my finger on it! Despite a slew of complaints directed at PhonepayPlus via their website, it baffles me how these operations are still permitted to function.

I followed the necessary steps and I was pleasantly surprised to find a £60 refund arriving by cheque in no more than a week. Cheers, Bikerbill!

I've noticed that I've been hit with a charge of £2.50 for each text that comes through to my mobile. It popped up four times on my last bill, and lo and behold, it’s happened again four times on this month’s bill as well, racking up to a whopping £20. I've reached out to Vodafone, but they’re not inclined to assist me in any way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've noticed that I'm being billed £2.50 for a service I never subscribed to. I would really appreciate it if you could put a stop to these charges immediately, as I'm considering switching providers. I’ve not reached out to them at all-no calls, no emails-and I deleted their text without even opening it, given that it looked dodgy and related to girls.

I’ve been hit with a charge of £2.50 for a text that I never subscribed to in the first place! What a cheek!

They’ve swiped £15 from me.

I’ve been in a similar predicament myself. Dialled the number to terminate my subscription, and I got a response stating that the texts would cease and that a cheque would be sent my way. Time will tell if that actually happens!

I've been inundated with text messages containing a dodgy link, which I’ve steadfastly refused to click on. To my surprise, I’ve just realised that each time I receive one of these messages, it costs me a cheeky £2.50! So, I picked up my landline and dialled 0203 393 3695 to "unsubscribe" from this so-called subscription-mind you, I never signed up for anything in the first place! The lady on the other end was quite helpful and assured me they’d cancel it, but I’m still in the dark about whether it's truly been sorted out-only did this yesterday. Strangely, they didn’t bother telling me about any fees during the call. When I asked how they managed to get my number, she gave a whole list of possible methods-like clicking on an ad while using my phone, or they might have simply bought my details from some third party. Once I’ve got this all squared away, I’ll pop back with an update on my situation. Fingers crossed!

I’ve received a bill from them, but I haven’t a clue why it’s come through.

I've been noticing a weekly charge of £2.50 for a text service that I've never received any messages from. It's quite baffling, to say the least!

I'm rather perplexed as to why I'm seeing a weekly deduction of £2.50 from my account for something that I have absolutely no knowledge of. This needs to be sorted out posthaste - I’d appreciate it if you could halt these payments immediately. Cheers!

I've received two text messages from this number recently-at least, that's what I've heard because I seem to have filtered them out as spam and can’t find them now. Each message has cost me £2.50, which is utterly absurd! It's baffling that there's no action being taken against these individuals!

I urgently need assistance regarding this number that keeps messaging me, and deducting £2.50 from my account every time they do. This has already happened on two occasions in the past week!

I find it absurd that I’m being hit with a charge of £2.50 for each message, especially since I didn’t even request them in the first place! I make it a point to delete those texts without bothering to read them, so how on earth are they managing to swipe my cash?

I’ve had my fair share of trouble with these individuals; they've illegally accessed my account multiple times. It baffles me how they continue to operate without consequences. In any case, I've now put a stop to it by using a blocking app from the Google Play Store.

To everyone reading this, refrain from hitting the stop button! That’s their sneaky tactic to connect with your device.

I keep getting charged for premium texts that I haven't agreed to. This is the third time it’s happened, and I haven’t subscribed to anything at all!

Send a message with 'STOP' to that number.

I've just realised that I've been billed for something I never consented to. How can I put a stop to this?

There have been unauthorised transactions snatching funds from my bank account.

Upon reviewing my account today, I noticed a couple of charges of £3.00 each that I wasn’t expecting. How do these companies manage to get away with such things? I reached out to my service provider, but alas, they were utterly unhelpful.

Had a chat with Three recently, and honestly, the bloke on the line seemed utterly indifferent. He promptly transferred me to an Asian lady who had a rather smug air about her when discussing a refund via cheque. I shared my address with her, but it was at that moment that the network chap conveniently washed his hands of any blame. As for the cheque, well, I’m not getting my hopes up, and believe me, if it doesn’t show up, Three isn't keen on issuing a refund. It feels like a complete stitch-up! What a disappointment! 😒

I recently spotted a spike in my mobile bill, which prompted me to investigate further. To my dismay, I discovered that I had been receiving premium text messages from 66033 that I never subscribed to. I had been mindlessly deleting these texts, not realising each one came with a charge! They've now swiped £27 from my account without any permission. I reached out to my provider, Three, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to assist me in this matter. I've shot off an email to zamano but have yet to hear back from them. Additionally, I tried to ring their office but received no response. I am at a bit of a loss as to what my next steps should be!

I’ve noticed a charge exceeding £30.00 on my statement this month. I haven’t had a chance to review any additional bills, but it’s quite shocking, to say the least.

I’ve had a rather frustrating experience with 02 lately. After being away from work for a full three months, I mistakenly let my direct debit roll out without really paying attention to the balance. I was certain I hadn’t exceeded my data limit or sent any multimedia messages. Imagine my dismay when I discovered I’d been charged an extra £30 over that period! It feels as though I’ve been fleeced. What’s more perplexing is how they even obtained my number in the first place. This surely raises serious questions about their practices and, frankly, it feels like it borders on fraudulent behaviour!

I've been shelling out for this text service for the last four months completely unaware! I suppose it’s on me for not keeping a closer eye on my statements! How on earth is this possible if I haven’t even subscribed to anything? It's a right muddle!

From the period spanning from the 26th of February to the 15th of April in 2016, I found myself inundated with eight messages, each costing me £3. I’m keen to understand how I can put a stop to this number and potentially reclaim my funds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve only recently realised they’ve been deducting a tenner from my account every month! I never intended to subscribe to this service. I called up to sort it out and they mentioned sending me a cheque. Absolutely scandalous!

I've been hit with a fee of £3 every time I open a message. It's a service I never signed up for!

I've fallen victim to a scam myself, and it's beyond frustrating, not to mention a complete drain on my time. I've only just realised that I've been hit with charges amounting to £20 altogether. How can these companies get away with enrolling you into a subscription so effortlessly? It should surely be plainly obvious when I select anything. It's astonishing that such deceitful practices can be curbed, yet nothing ever seems to change!

I've just had a chat with Orange, and it turns out they've passed my number over to Zamano for removal. If you’re hoping to chase a refund, you might want to reach out to them. Their phone number is 01223 590555, and you can also drop them an email at [email protected]. Best of luck with that!

I've just noticed a £20 charge on my last two O2 bills for some premium service I’ve never even signed up for! I rang O2 earlier, and they mentioned they've received several complaints about this particular number. The chap in customer service did a bit of digging, found the details, and had a word with the company involved, babes.com. He then patched me through to them. I explained that I hadn’t subscribed to anything, and they assured me they’d cancel it, refund me by cheque, and send a text confirming the cancellation. The text has come through, so now I’m waiting on that cheque to arrive! I've blocked the number now. O2 did mention that they can’t halt the payments, but suggested that reaching out to the company directly could resolve it. Fingers crossed!

I’ve noticed a charge for premium services linked to the number 66033, but I can assure you, I never signed up for anything! This is quite puzzling and rather frustrating!

I'm with O2, and it's rather frustrating, isn't it? This sort of thing cropped up about a year back, and I managed to get O2 to put a stop to it. However, I've been plagued by it yet again, three times in just the past few weeks! It baffles me how my number keeps getting out there when I never share it publicly. I always stick to providing my email, as it’s much simpler for blocking unwanted nonsense like this via that route.

I've noticed a £15 charge on my account for these messages, and since I’m with O2, I reached out to their customer service. Unfortunately, they weren't particularly helpful. I’ve documented all the dates and times of these texts, and O2 simply advised me to send a stop message to 66033.

I keep receiving messages from this number and it’s getting rather annoying. Should I reply with a STOP? They've informed me that I'm being charged £3 per week for some subscription service I seem to be enrolled in. Can anyone shed some light on what this actually entails?

I found myself being billed £7.50 for three messages, each costing £2.50. I reached out to O2 for clarification, and they advised me to send "STOP" to 66033. After doing so, I got a reply confirming I was unsubscribed from babes.com. Honestly, as a gay bloke, I’m not sure how I’d even end up on such a list!

I’ve noticed £2.50 has been deducted from my account on four separate occasions, yet I haven’t signed up for anything. I’m at a loss as to how to put an end to this!

I've found that there's a mysterious £2.50 debit appearing on my account each month. Quite peculiar, as I've not signed up for any sort of service or subscription at all!

I've noticed an extra £20 on my last couple of phone bills. I'm with EE, and it seems they’ve teamed up with Zamano Ltd, who are the ones pulling a fast one with the number 66033. Clearly, I won't be sticking around with EE for much longer.

I keep receiving charges of £2.50 weekly from this number, even though I've already blocked them. They’re nothing but con artists and crooks, as I never signed up for anything related to them.

Charged me £2.50 multiple times, what a cheek!
