85011 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 85011 👆 is reported as a premium rate scam linked to texts from "Hot Prizes" charging weekly fees around £3.75 to £4.50 without clear consent. Many users claim they never agreed to these subscriptions and were misled by messages starting with "FreeMsg" or fake prize draws linked to well-known brands. Complaints reveal fabricated evidence from the company, poor customer service, and ineffective STOP commands that sometimes increase charges. Calls to official numbers or mobile providers sometimes help unsubscribe, but blocking isn’t always effective. Victims describe frustration, ongoing charges despite efforts to stop, and difficulties in obtaining refunds. Several cases involve telecom providers like Vodafone and O2, with some users pursuing complaints via the PSA, Ombudsman, or trading standards. Overall, this number is associated with deceptive marketing and unauthorised charges.

This is driving me mad! I never signed up for these calls but they just keep coming. Vodafone can't block the numbers and refuse to refund any of the charges - it’s a total disgrace.

Can't believe this just happened to me. I’ve got no clue or call history linking me to them, but they’ve been charging me £15 every month for 4 months before I caught on! I texted STOP and rang them on 01567 380029 to cancel the payments, and I’ve also started an investigation with them. O2 gave me contact info for PhonepayPlus to file a complaint: 0300 30 300 20, which seems to be some kind of regulator. I’m also planning to write to Watchdog (BBC). It’s mad that your own phone company, the one taking your cash, doesn’t get called out for this too!

Total scam. I replied STOP to a promo message and ended up being billed weekly for it.

I checked my O2 bill and noticed I’ve been charged an extra £20 every month for the last three months. When I rang O2 to ask about it, they told me I’d signed up for something called hot prizes and gave me this number 01567380029 to opt out. I called that number and told them exactly what I thought about this scam, as I never agreed to anything. Now they say I’ve been removed from their database. I’ve also started a formal complaint to try and get my money back. Honestly, I think phone companies need to do way more to stop these scammers using their systems. :(

If you want to put an end to messages from 85011, just ring 01567 380029, press option 1, and make sure you fully opt out. It's also a good idea to send an email to [email protected] to complain, mentioning that you’ll be reporting this to Mobile Pay Plus and Trading Standards.

This is a premium messaging service but it isnt covered by phonepayplus rules because of how its registered. They charge you for both calls and getting texts. Dont send stop to the messages, it costs you extra and then they start texting you from a different number. The only way to quit is by ringing their official landline 01507380029 and using the menu options to cancel and unsubscribe.

I've got calls from 85011 about 5 times and it cost me £3.75 for each one.

If stop texting doesn’t sort the problem, I’d say have a word with your network and ask them to change your phone number (renumbering). After that, you shouldn’t get any more charges because the fees are linked to the number, not you personally. Just switching to another provider won’t help since the premium charges stick with you no matter where you move - that’s just how it works mate.

Don’t bother texting STOP to this number, it doesn’t do anything. Best call your phone company and ask them to block all premium rate numbers. Just checked and it turns out we got ripped off by £45 ??

Sending STOP didnt do anything at all. I reckon it just makes them know you answered. Ive still been charged £18 even after i sent STOP.

85011 Just like everyone else said, total scam. I checked the terms and conditions and nowhere does it say about the fees until you scroll right to the very end. It's disgraceful that these folks get to carry on like this. Proper nasty, and honestly feels like legalised robbery.

85011 Just like others mentioned, this is a total scam. If you bother to check the company’s terms and conditions, you won’t see any talk of fees until you scroll way down near the end. It’s disgraceful that these lot can get away with it. Such a dodgy and nasty racket - it’s nothing but theft, but they’ve somehow made it legal.

I silly answered a quiz on the internet and then noticed a £3.75 SMS charge from 85011. I looked it up and it was for Tesco hot prizes, with the fee happening every week! They NEVER told me about this cost during the quiz. Feels like a proper scam from a big company! I called my network, EE, who advised me to text "STOP" to 85011 to stop the £3.75 weekly charge. I did, and got a reply saying the subscription had been cancelled. Make sure you don’t delete that message - it’s proof if you get charged again later on.

Silly me, joined a Tesco competition on Facebook earlier today. They asked for my mobile number, and then I got a message saying I've signed up for Hot Prizes, which will charge me £4.50 every week unless I text STOP to 85011. I've reached out to Tesco about it already. Total rip-off!

Outta nowhere, I started gettin texts from 'hot prizes'. Didn’t think much at first but when my bill came it showed they charged me £3.75 every week! Rang O2 and they told me to text STOP. They’ve also gone and blocked premium numbers for me. Hot prizes replied sayin ‘you are now unsubscribed’ but I never signed up for any of this to begin with.

I noticed a £4.50 fee from this number on my bill. Total scam. Had to ring BT Mobile who have thankfully blocked all premium services on my account now, so shouldn't get charged again. Looks like the company info is: Short code: 85450, Service: 85450 - SHARED SHORT CODE, Contact: 02076335073 or [email protected][###]

If your gettin scammed by an 85011 number you should try reaching out to Safari Mobile (UK) at 0156 738 0029 or email their support at [email protected][###] (I'd recommend using a throwaway account just in case, maybe even sell the account later!). You can also send a letter to Safari Mobile, 591 London Road, North Cheam SM3 9AG - send it recorded delivery and address it to Mr Eric John Feltin, Director - Personal.

Found out I was getting billed £3.75 every week by some lot called Hot prizes, had no clue or agreed to it. I sent STOP to 85011 and then called O2 to moan about it. They said the charges should stop now. I’ll just wait and watch what happens.

They were taking £3.75 every week off me without asking. Tried to sort it with customer support, but they were really rude and just hung up on me after I raised my voice at them saying "hun hun hun hun".

This is a scam. They take £4.50 every week for a "free" competition to win Tesco vouchers on Facebook but never mention the cost anywhere. I’ve sent them a stop text and won’t top up my phone credit till they actually stop. Watch out!

I signed up for a giveaway to win some shop vouchers and had to put in my phone number. Then I got a message saying I’d be charged £4.50 each week or month or something? I had to text STOP to cancel it, hopefully that worked. No idea how much they’ve already taken from me though.
