81777 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 81777 👆 is reported as a recurring issue where users are being charged around £4.50 monthly by a premium text service they never subscribed to, often linked to psychic alert scams. Many UK mobile users, especially on Three and O2, have found these charges unnoticed for months, with some losing over £50. Providers advise sending STOP messages to cancel but warn this may still incur costs. Refunds are inconsistently handled, with some customers receiving compensation after persistence, while others struggle as companies rarely answer calls and only respond by email. Users have reported contacting regulators like the Phone-Paid Services Authority to lodge complaints. The service's company appears unresponsive or distant, sometimes overseas, fuelling frustration and claims of fraudulent behaviour on the part of the scam operators.
Reports on phone number 81777
6 yearsJust went through my last few bills and noticed they’ve been hitting me with a £4.50 charge every month for half a year! I’m reporting this to all three right away.7 years81777 has been taking £4.50 a month from me over the past five months. I'm pretty sure it's not right that they can just charge me by sending a text. My provider, Three, says I need to send a STOP ALL text, which will probably cost me more, or ring them up and ask for a refund - which sounds dodgy coz I'd likely have to give my bank details to this dodgy company. If you want to ask for a refund, they say to email [email protected][###] and also customercare[###]@oxygen8[###]Three7 yearsPremium number 81777 - I was quite stressed but then my network (Three) advised me: If you challenge these charges and the company doesn't refund you, you can get in touch with the Phone-Paid Services Authority, the body that oversees premium rate services in the UK, to lodge an official complaint. You can find their contact info here: [#]psauthority[###][###] or ring them at 03003030020. Meanwhile, make sure to reply to any texts with 'STOP' or 'STOP ALL' to stop further messages.Phone - Paid Services AuthorityUK7 years81777 somehow managed to take £55 off me without me realising. They kept charging me a £5 subscription each month.7 yearsnoticed a £3.75 fee on my phone bill for some kind of subscription but have no clue what it’s for. Followed O2's tip and messaged STOP ALL. Got a quick response saying subscription’s cancelled. Need to keep an eye on my next bill to see if it really went away.7 yearsJust looked at my phone bill and noticed I’ve been charged £4.50 every month for the last three months for a subscription with psychic alert, which I never signed up for or received anything from, apart from a text in July that I blocked straight away. I’m pretty sure this isn’t allowed, so I’ve reported it to the PSA and also emailed the psychic alert company (based in Cyprus) with all the charge details and dates, asking for a refund of £13.50. Their email is [email protected][###].Psychic AlertPSACyprus7 yearsGot a load of dodgy "psychic" rubbish I definitely didn’t agree to. They’re all con artists to be honest. I only clocked it last month but it’s been happening for a good 4 months! They never pick up the phone but will reply through email. Classic scammers doing their thing.7 yearsGot a text from 65888 and they charged me £4.50 for some premium service. Can someone help me figure this out?7 yearsGot a message from a company named Oxygen8 Communications, which I had never heard of before. If you want to stop it, text STOP ALL to 81777. Also, email customercare[###]@oxygen8[###] explaining you never signed up and insist on a full refund. I’m sorting this now, fingers crossed it sorts itself out.Oxygen8 Communications7 yearsThey keep taking £4.50 from my account every month and even though I’ve called three times to stop it, the payments haven’t stopped. Need some help with this.7 yearsGot charged twice for some monthly “premium” thing I never signed up for! Found out on here it’s a total scam. My wife sent STOP ALL to 81777, because just sending STOP only cancels one payment, not the whole thing! The scammy service sent an automatic reply saying the premium service was cancelled. We were only charged £3.75 three times and won’t bother trying to get money back from the bank.STOP7 yearsI got charged £4.50 two times, once each month. When I contacted them through their chat, they were pretty quick to sort it out and refund me.7 yearsSince January, I’ve been getting random texts charging me £4.50, just realised it now. Tesco mobile was pretty good about it, but unlike others who’ve dealt with Three, I haven't been given any refund yet, though they have stopped the messages from coming through. I’ve sent a complaint email to the psychic firm asking for my money back. Probably won’t hear much back, but at least it felt like I was doing something. Thinking about copying Ofcom in the next email.Tesco MobileThree7 yearsGot two messages from this number about some psychic rubbish and just thought it was usual spam. Then when I checked my phone bill, I saw they charged me £3.75 for each message. Rang O2 and they sorted a refund for me. No clue who these people are, never signed up for anything from them. The phone number on their site just goes straight to voicemail and I doubt the form I sent them will get any reply. Proper scam if you ask me.7 yearsGot a few texts from physic alerts and just deleted them without a second thought. Now I’ve checked my latest phone bill and there's an extra £6 charge for 81777. Didn’t sign up for anything like this at all. Feels like a total rip-off! I’m gonna look over my old bills too since I got a couple of messages last month. Planning to get in touch with Three and demand my money back. Also thinking of reporting this dodgy service.7 yearsGot two random texts from 81777 PsychicAlerts[###] 02038680169 charging me £4.50 each! I definitely never signed up for anything like this. Totally feels like a rip-off. I’ve already complained to Three and also reported it to the PSA [#]psauthority[###][###]/.ThreePSA7 yearsThis number sent me a text out of the blue and then I got charged £4.50. I rang my network (Three) and they gave me my money back, but the very next month the same charge appeared again! I got another refund, but honestly, this has got to end. It’s a proper scam and really should be against the law. Three didn’t do a thing to stop it happening to me.Three7 yearsHad a look at my phone bill and noticed there's an extra £4.50 added every month for the past three months by some dodgy company called Sam. Definitely planning to pop into my local 3 shop and sort this out 'cos I never agreed to any of it.Sam7 yearsSpotted these cheeky charges on my phone statement. Rang 3 and they told me to text STOP, which I did, and they gave me the full refund of £4.50. Have blocked the number now. Cheers to 3 for dealing with it quickly.7 yearsGot a message today from 81777, had a look but didn’t tap on any links. Planning to call 02 and make a fuss. I’ve blocked that number now so fingers crossed those pesky lot stop texting me again.7 yearsJust saw a random charge of £3.75 from this firm on my phone bill. I can't really recall if it was from a call or a text that came through. I've now blocked them and I'm sorting out getting my money back.7 yearsGot my bill from 02 today and noticed a random £3.75 fee from this number. I’ve never used or heard of it, so I got in touch with 02 to question it. After a bit of back and forth, they finally agreed to credit me back. Honestly, it’s ridiculous that these firms can just add charges like that.7 yearsyou can ask for your money back. i never signed up for this and cant even recall getting the message, but found £4.50 added to my phone bill for some premium texts. my provider said the company behind it is (#[psychicalertsi###)/ so i emailed them at help@psychicalerts{###] just to be sure. was doubtful at first but they replied and sorted out a refund pretty quickly.7 yearsi never got any message about this. the only time i found out about the charge was when i saw it on my phone bill. vodafone apologised but said they’d ring me back. did they? nope! do i think they will? nah! and they refuse to refund the £4.50. 81777 is just a total rip-off, how is this even legal? taking cash without telling me. i’ll give emailing them a shot but honestly don’t expect much.Vodafone7 yearsSame here, had a long chat with 02 online. They said they'd give me a refund but you really have to push for it. They asked me to text stop but that would’ve cost me extra, so I said no. Then they told me to call the third party but that’d be 55p a minute! I turned that down too. Eventually they agreed to put the refund on my next bill.7 yearsspotted a £3.75 fee on my last couple of 02 statements. spent ages on webchat arguing I never agreed to this. was told to text stop but that might cost me or ring the premium rate line at 55p a minute to try and get a refund. as if that’s gonna work. mentioned loads of others online moaning about this number but the chat bloke just said 02 has nothing to do with the charge. really poor customer service when it’s clear this is a scam.O28 yearsSpotted a weird charge on my phone bill from this number and got in touch with 02 (just switched to them recently). They reckoned I'd signed up somehow, told me to text ‘stop’ to the number straight away and credited my account £4. Took a look at the company site for psychicalerts, which is actually based in Cyprus, (don’t bother calling the 020 number, they never pick up). You supposedly have to register yourself. Seems like some muppet is signing up random folks hoping to make a quick quid. Shame 02 won’t block these premium numbers for you. Fingers crossed my next network will.PsychicalertsCyprus8 yearsNo idea what this call was about but they went and charged me for it anyway.8 yearsthis site is about horoscopes, and ive messaged them at help@psychicalerts[###] telling them i never signed up for anything. also got my network (tesco) to block all premium rate texts, both coming in and going out. so now i cant use short codes for stuff i might want, but id rather deal with that than get hit with a surprise £4.50 fee now and then.Tesco8 yearsHeads up everyone - have a look at your phone bills. Got charged £3.75 by 03333137900, total scam. They said I probably clicked on an ad or something but I’m certain I didn’t. Tried contacting 02 but they ain’t giving my money back. Quite annoyed!Submit Your Own Report (81777)
