5 yearsI've received some dodgy messages from this number, asserting that my loan installments haven't been processed properly and urging me to provide my payment details again.

It's clearly spam.9 yearsI've noticed that they keep siphoning off money from my account without my consent. Despite my attempts to halt these transactions, they continue. I’ve been sending them texts asking them to cease, but to no avail!9 yearsI could really do with some assistance. I keep receiving messages from this number.9 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.

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 suggest pursuing legal action for the theft and fraudulent activity. I'm quite upset about this situation, as I never signed up for any services.10 yearsI received a notification claiming that I'd been entered into a competition, which would result in a charge of £4.50 every week. I promptly texted "stop" to 88288. Shortly thereafter, I got a message confirming that my subscriptions were cancelled. Yet, I’m still somewhat anxious about whether they’ve actually taken any funds from my account.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.Tesco11 yearsI’m puzzled as to why I’m seeing charges when I haven’t entered any details at all.

Has anyone successfully claimed their funds back from their service provider?11 yearsI texted 'stop' to this number but received no acknowledgment, yet Orange still charged me £7.00. Thankfully, they've refunded me, but I've made multiple requests to stop this! How is it possible for someone to rack up charges on my phone without my permission? It's utterly baffling!11 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 yearsI've heard that it's going to set me back £4.50 a week to take part in this lottery.

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!
