80845 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 80845 👆 is reported as a persistent scam predominantly affecting Three UK customers, involving unsolicited premium text messages that incur unwanted charges around £4.50 each. Many users have been billed repeatedly without consent or clear notification, with difficulties in stopping messages due to failed "STOP" commands and poor response from the charging companies. Refunds are inconsistently handled; some customers secured reimbursements via persistent contact with Three, while others faced unresponsive or obstructive behaviour from both their provider and the billing companies. Users are advised to regularly check bills for unexpected charges, report incidents to the Phone-paid Services Authority, and escalate complaints with their provider. Blocking the numbers alone is ineffective, as charges continue even without direct interaction. Vigilance and prompt action are essential to mitigate financial losses.

Just noticed my account got debited £4.50 and I’m not sure what for, feels like a rip-off.

I noticed my bill was £4.50 more than usual, so I rang up 3. They told me to send a text with the word STOP. After doing that, I got a message confirming the service was cancelled. On top of that, 3 ended up refunding me £23!

So I gave those idiots a ring and they told me they've gone and blocked the messages! Proper outrageous, if you ask me.

I’m with Three and kept noticing my bill was going over the usual amount every few months. After looking into things, I found out I’d been charged £4.50 for a firm I’d never heard of before. I only discovered them after googling the number and coming across these discussions. I’m planning to dig deeper and sort this out properly. So far, I haven’t come across anyone saying they managed to get their money back, would be nice to know if anyone has actually been successful with a refund.

Been getting charged by Three for these PSMS messages that I didn’t sign up for, and whenever I try to text STOP to cancel them, the message won’t go through saying the number isn’t valid. Feels like a proper scam to me.

Proper rip off, I’m fed up to the eyeballs with getting stung. Called them three times no luck, and every single bloody month they take money out of my account!

It’s still going on! For the past three months they’ve taken money from me, even tho I never signed up or replied to anything. This has got to be against the law. What if I rang some random number and earned £4.50 every time? They wouldn’t stand for that. I’m definitely getting in touch with Three soon about this.

Like many folks here, I’ve been caught out by that 80845 Vista-fun.com nonsense, getting hit £4.50 every month on my Three bill for the last 4 months - £18 gone just like that. It’s a proper con! When I rang Three today, they first tried to fob me off, telling me to get my refund directly from Vista-fun. I wasn’t having it and threatened to shut my mobile account, which finally made them sort me out with a refund. This kind of thing really needs sorting by the higher-ups, cos I bet some muppet somewhere’s sat in a fancy house counting all the cash they’re ripping off. £18 times 10,000 people is £180,000 - not bad money scamming people for just a few months. And I’d wager this is just a small part of what’s going on.

Have a proper look at your bill - I thought I was getting charged for calls to Europe from the UK and France, but it turned out to be those irritating 80845 premium texts. I rang my network provider, and they told me to send a text saying ‘STOP’ to that number, then they have to reply back and stop the charges. Another option is to email help@megapromof### with your details asking them to stop, and they’re obliged to do so. The lesson here is don’t just guess what charges are for, check properly - assuming things just ends up making you look daft!

I’ve blocked this number already and attempted to send STOP to the one listed on Vista Fun’s site, but the message just won’t send. I gave it a go three times, still nothing happens.

Got hit by scammers and rang up Three. They told me to text STOP ALL and also to shoot an email to [email protected] to try for a refund. I’m gonna send the email but honestly, I’m not feeling hopeful about getting the money back. So annoyed! 😡😡😡

For about three months, I was unknowingly billed £4.50 each month by this number. When I finally caught on, I reached out to my network, Three, who gave me an email address, [email protected], to request a refund. I've sent them three emails over the past few months but haven't had any reply or got my money back. Despite calling Three multiple times, they haven't been much help. Yesterday, I got disconnected from their chat support and never got a callback. I’ll be trying to get in touch with them again today.

Really sketchy experience. I didn’t realise I was being billed for three months straight until I finally checked. I managed to track down a contact - 0800 157 7502, which said it was from a company named First Call, apparently running a call centre for VEOO, the company behind the payments. The guy I talked to, Ben, assured me there wouldn’t be any more charges. He seemed like just a call centre worker, not the one responsible for the scam. If they keep taking money, I’ll definitely be back to update.

For months I ignored this number, then finally rang 3 about it. I never signed up for anything and didn’t receive any alerts. They advised me to reach out to the company directly, which they did using my spam email. Oddly, I never heard back from them. I'll be giving 3 another ring first thing tomorrow to get it sorted.

Yesterday afternoon I managed to get a straight refund from Three without any fuss, took about 15 minutes on the phone. Seems like some of their reps are willing to sort it, while others just won’t budge. I mentioned this forum and suggested there must be a fault on Three's end. I told them they really dropped the ball and let it slip through. Keep at it and don’t give up - fingers crossed you get your refund too!

I keep getting texts from 80845 (Vista Fun), and Three UK has already taken £9 from my account because of it. When I reached out to Three UK, they said they won’t give me my money back. I’ve also tried contacting Vista Fun a couple of times but haven’t heard a thing from them. Does anyone know how I can block these messages and possibly get a refund?

I noticed a £4.50 charge from 80845 on my phone bill, even though I had already blocked the text messages from that number ages ago. After seeing the charge, I got in touch with Three, and thankfully, they promised to refund me. I also checked with Ofcom who confirmed it was a short code. They advised me to send a message saying STOP ALL to 80845 and to forward the spam texts to 7726, which is their spam reporting number. Hopefully this will sort things out!

Been put through this rubbish for half a year now, been billed £4.50 a pop, six times over. This time it happened again with Three. They told me to text 'stop' and email those scam people. I refused and asked straight away to speak to a supervisor. Honestly, Three aren't innocent here either, they share the blame with these scammers.

I’m also on 3 and had the exact same issue, but no luck getting any refund from them! They just keep telling me to deal with the company directly for my money back, but the company never replies to my emails and claim they can't issue refunds over the phone. It’s so annoying! Ended up losing £9 because 3 took ages to cancel and I got billed for another month.

Just like many others, I never agreed to get these texts that cost £4.50 a pop. Out of the three messages I got, two charges were sorted and I got the refund, including the 10p it took to send the STOP message to opt out. Pretty decent of them to fix it like that.

Absolute disgrace, thieves for sure. I just don’t get why the phone companies and the cops never step in to sort this mess out.

Just noticed an identical charge on my bill and I’m with 3 as well. They told me to get in touch with the company for a refund since they can’t sort it out themselves, but I’m a bit wary of giving more of my personal info over email. I’m seriously annoyed because this really looks like an issue on 3’s side - seems way too coincidental. I’ll contact 3 again and point them to this page for sure. I’m also planning to report this to the PSA because this feels like a data security problem. To be clear, I never signed up for any subscription or authorised these payments.

I got hit with a £4.50 charge for something I never agreed to. I called my network, 3, and they were good about it - put the £4.50 back into my balance and told me to text STOP to sort it out. After doing that, they sent me a text confirming I was unsubscribed. Honestly, it’s a bit cheeky since I never signed up at all. If you end up catching one of these dodgy services, I’d say make a complaint to the PSA Authority. We need to shut these scammers down for good.

There's these scammers from Cyprus who team up with some UK firms just to make a quick buck. Honestly, I'd suggest ditching your current phone contract and sorting a new number with your provider. It's the safest bet.

I just spotted a 4.50 charge on my phone bill from somewhere I’ve never even heard of and definitely didn’t agree to. It looks like loads of folks on the Three network are dealing with the same weird charge 🤔, which honestly feels a bit dodgy.
8 years
Beware, this number is a scam. They hit you with a £4.50 fee per text, and you get zero service in return. Three told me you need to opt out of their marketing messages within 24 hours or else they start billing you. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline and got charged. This practice is totally illegal and breaches GDPR rules. They attempted to take several payments but were stopped once I reached my monthly limit on my phone bill. If you’ve had the same issue, you should report it to the PSA straight away.

I dont understand how this isnt propery illegal - it feels like stealing directly from people. There ought to be a way to sue these lot. Their website’s full of legal jargon but it just seems like they use it to get round the law, with zero concern for making life harder for everyday folks like me. I havent been charged so far but have no clue how to prevent it from happening again.

This weird charge got put on my bill with Three, rang them up a few times and like someone else mentioned, no luck - they can’t block the number or give a refund. They told me to text the number 'stop', but the texts won’t even send. Seems like they’re gonna keep doing this every week, I’m glad I caught it in the first week though. My phone’s barely a week old, so annoying! Grrr!

I noticed a £4.50 fee on my Three bill for a service I never agreed to. When I contacted Three, they weren't very helpful and just told me to text STOP to 80845. I've tried sending the text but it just won’t go through. Now I’m worried they might keep charging me without my consent.

I saw three separate charges of £4.50 from this number on my bill, so I got in touch with Three. They told me to send them an email to request a refund, which I have already done. They also advised me to contact the regulator at WWW.PSAUTHORITY.ORG.UK if I never agreed to these payments. I’d recommend everyone else do the same if you’re in this situation. Ewan

So, in the end, did you get your money back? I rang up O2 and they told me they couldn’t sort anything out for me. They wouldn’t even block the texts or stop the billing. All they gave me was a contact number for the company itself, saying I had to deal with them directly.

If you're dealing with issues like this, I’d really recommend reaching out to your phone company straightaway. They can sort out a refund quick smart and make sure you don’t get charged again by that "terra mobile" lot. I spoke with Vodafone earlier today and they promised a refund on my upcoming statement. Paying £3.75 for spam messages is daft when you can get annoying texts from mates without paying a penny. Who actually wants to be stuck with this nonsense?

Got a message with a link to check out some MegaPromo holiday deals at www.megapromo.co.uk/login and an email [email protected]. I'm on the TPS list and I’m planning to report this. Saw a warning earlier about it charging £4.50 weekly, which worries me. I don’t share my bank info usually but I’ll have a proper look just in case.

I've been getting messages from this number almost every week for ages, saying I should get in touch to join some kind of contest. I never responded to any of them. But now I've found out they've been deducting £4.50 from my bank every single week. I'm trying to sort it out and get my money back, and I'll keep you posted on what happens. The company behind it is mobistaweb, and their email is [email protected]. If you're dealing with the same issue, the first thing I'd say is contact your phone network and ask them to block this lot.
