5 yearsGot a text from this number saying my loan payment failed and telling me to send my payment details again. Definitely a scam, don’t fall for it!7 yearsIt's total rubbish to say SIM companies aren’t part of this mess... they definitely are! Don’t take it lightly, it’s a proper spam call.9 yearsThey keep withdrawing money without my permission and it’s really annoying. I’ve sent them messages to stop but they just keep going.10 yearsCan someone please assist? I keep getting loads of texts from them.10 yearsI've been getting texts from them for ages, and I honestly didn't realise until I took a proper look at one of the messages. If you're seeing this, don't just sit back and ignore it like I did - take action before it gets worse!10 yearsCalled 03332027722 today and let me tell you, I wasn’t polite one bit. Sometimes you just gotta be harsh to deal with these annoying pests!10 yearsMy aunt was in a right pickle with this number incessantly ringing her. It turned into quite the nightmare, and to make matters worse, Orange offered no help whatsoever.Orange10 yearsGot a text from +447484848157 saying I won the euro-mega jackpot, something like £2,000,000. They want me to email joshdonalddep@gmail/###] to claim it. Definitely looks dodgy, watch out!10 yearsI’m really upset about this, I didn’t sign up for any service but they still charged me. This feels like theft and fraud to me, something definitely needs to be done about it!10 yearsGot a message saying I've been put into some kind of draw and they'll be charging me £4.50 every week. I texted "stop" to 88288 and got a reply that the subscription was cancelled. Still a bit anxious they might have already taken some cash though.11 yearsMy spouse entered a competition via text message to 88288, and we've been hit with an additional £25 charge on our next bill. I'm unsure of where to raise a complaint about this. Any advice would be appreciated!11 yearsI had a similar experience, and because my phone is a Tesco mobile one, it seemed more believable. This feels like a sophisticated scam, no different from those coming from overseas. They’re running this all across the UK, tempting people with offers like Tesco vouchers, iPhones, and other flashy stuff to hook you in. The worst part is, they never mention it’s a recurring payment. Honestly, it’s just a bunch of scammers at work.Tesco12 yearsI haven’t actually signed up for anything but I’m still getting charged! How do I make it stop?12 yearsGot charged for texts from 88288 and when I tried texting stop, kept saying it couldn’t be sent. Really annoying!12 yearsNo clue where they got our number from, this feels like some sort of scam to me. Has anyone actually managed to get their money back from the company?12 yearsI sent 'stop' to this number loads of times but got no answer back. Then, Orange billed me £7.00, which was annoying, though they have given me my money back now. It’s mad that someone can just keep charging your phone like that without you saying yes. How does this even happen? Really frustrating.12 yearsHeads up about this number! I thought I was entering a Tesco voucher draw by selecting an option from a dropdown box, but then they sent me a code to put in just seconds after. Out of nowhere, I got a text saying I'd been charged around £3 to enter the draw with no notice at all. My phone credit took a big hit, then those dodgy people said to stop it, I had to text them asking to opt out. This is total rip-off, honestly. Does anyone know how to block these scammers for good?Tesco12 yearsApparently, to take part in this lottery draw, it’ll set me back £4.50 every week. If I want out, I’m told to just send STOP to 88288.STOP12 yearsI've experienced the very same situation! We reached out to Orange, and they directed us to ring 02088201775 or drop an email to [email protected]. But to be honest, we're a bit lost on the next steps! What should we actually do now?Orange12 yearsOur company has notified us that the number 88288 has shown up on our phone bill. We've not encountered it ourselves, but it seems that others have. What steps can we take to cancel this?13 yearsWe've been receiving a text from the number 88288, and it seems that every message we get is deducting £1.50 from our balance. We're a bit baffled by this and could really do with some assistance regarding these messages. Any advice would be much appreciated!Submit Your Own Report (88288)
