80008

I am being completely scammed by an unsolicited text service that charges me £3 per week until I respond with "stop."

Please refrain from using the "stop" number for texting. Instead, kindly contact them by calling the provided phone number. When I called, I was connected to a lady whose role seemed to be handling incoming calls. Before I had the chance to explain the entire issue, she interrupted me and asked, "Do you want me to cancel it?" It appeared that she was accustomed to receiving such calls. I confirmed my request for cancellation and insisted on a refund for any money that was charged. However, she informed me that her responsibility was solely to take messages. So, I suggested leaving a message for someone to call me back in order to arrange a refund. I also warned her that if this matter was not resolved, I would take legal action as their actions were against the law. After providing my name and address, two weeks later, I received a cheque for £42! Apparently, they had been deducting £3 per week for 14 weeks without my knowledge.

Be extremely cautious of scam artists.

I seem to be getting charged £3 a week. I have requested to stop receiving text messages, lodged a complaint with the Phonepayplus authority, and I have also contacted synchronized.co.uk. I have warned them that I will take legal action if either the messages continue or if I get charged again!

In July, I received a total of four of these items.

This is a scam. I deleted the text received and was charged twice with £2.50 each time.

I followed the instructions but haven't seen any changes. The charges are still visible. I've contacted the provided number and am currently waiting for a response from their refund team. Quite frustrating!

I encountered a similar problem recently. I discovered an additional £12 on my monthly bill. I reached out to Three network, who transferred me to the company responsible. On the call, I spoke to a woman and clarified that I had never agreed to their services and was unaware of their purpose. Furthermore, I requested a complete refund. To my satisfaction, a cheque arrived yesterday without any complications.

I never registered for anything. I have been disregarding the text messages because I believed they were fraudulent. However, I recently discovered several charges of £2.50 on my account, even though I followed the instructions and sent a stop message. I am extremely displeased with this situation.

May I inquire if you have received your refund? Have the text messages stopped afterwards?

Thank you.

I am extremely dissatisfied with these messages; this should be against the law! I have been unable to contact this company, despite Three Network instructing me to call them. The scammers are refusing to answer my calls. They have a debt of more than £60 owed to me.

I have been charged £2.50 for a subscription that I didn't sign up for. Despite being a customer of EE, they claim to be unable to assist me with this issue.

Who should we get in touch with to report this issue of our phone being charged without our consent? Vodafone claims no responsibility.

I contacted o2 about the c£40 worth of premium texts that I have paid for from the number 80008. They instructed me to call 0247 699 8420 and report this issue. They assured me that they will be sending a refund cheque. Hopefully, everything will work out!

I have been charged £2.50 for three messages over a span of three weeks for something I did not authorize on the website "for-your-eyes-only.com".

I have been getting charged £2.50 for the past 5 weekends for some premium text messages. O2 has recommended that I send a text saying "stop" to 80008 to unsubscribe from these messages and prevent any further scam messages. I will monitor the situation in the next few weeks to see if it resolves the issue.

I am being charged £2.50 per week even though I have not subscribed to anything

For the past three months, I've received these text messages which cost £2.50 per text. Since I'm with O2, this adds up to a total of £40. Recently, O2 has advised me to change my phone number.

I've been dealing with this issue for the past two weeks where I have been charged £2.50 each time by o2. Can you please advise me on how to put a stop to this?

How can I put an end to the recurring charge of £2.50 that has been deducted from my account for two consecutive weeks?

I began to receive text messages from this particular number every Saturday for three weeks in a row. Initially, I chose to ignore them, but then I discovered that I was being charged £3 for each text. So, I reached out to Virgin Mobile and requested them to remove these charges, which they did. They also advised me to send a text with the word "STOP" to the same number in order to prevent any future charges. Now, I will wait and see what happens next.
