For over a year, Tesco Mobile has been taking £4.50 from me monthly just for getting texts from this number! I have no clue where it came from, as I never signed up for anything like this. It shows as from 77G now, but it used to say 77 games. A bit of digging pointed me to a company called Remote Games in Manchester along with some directors’ names. That hasn’t really helped much though. I contacted Tesco Mobile today and asked them to block premium texts. Fingers crossed it stops, but I reckon I’ll just have to accept the money I’ve already lost.

I’m a 60 year old bloke who keeps getting hassled by this firm. They send texts every week, even though I’ve told them loads of times to cut it out. I’ve had £4.50 taken from me weekly for messages I never asked for or gave permission to get. I’m not alone either - at least 7 mates have gone through the same thing and can back me up. They’ve somehow managed to nick money through phone bills and nobody seems to be doing anything to stop it! The company behind this racket is Remote Games Ltd, run by Carl Barker, Robert Morley, and Colin McCaffrey in Manchester!

This number links back to Remote Games Ltd and Xinion Ltd, both run by the same people: Carl Barker, Gary Cooper, Colin Mc Caffery, and Robert Morley. They also appear tied to BMCM DIGITAL LIMITED (09259025) and a bunch of other firms that seem dodgy. Have a peek on Companies House yourself. These companies are notorious for SMS scams and sending unwanted texts, yet somehow they keep operating. I’m planning to report all this to the FCA, Gambling Commission, ICO, PhonePayPlus, and the police as well.

88311 keeps pestering me with stupid Donald Duck quiz questions, saying you can win £1000 but charging £4.50 for each message! Can anyone help me make them just **** off? I’ve already tried forwarding the texts to my network and even sent a stop code to the number, but nada. So annoying!

This firm has taken £119.50 from my phone over the last 4 months - total scammers! You really NEED to get in touch with your phone provider to block their numbers, and you HAVE to ring the scammers yourself on 0333 2026342 (different number to the others mentioned). Email the manager to make a complaint at [email protected][###] and ask them for a refund form.

I got a text from 88311 but since I didn't recognise the number, I just blocked it. Now I've got a bill for £24.50 saying I sent messages to them, which I definitely didn't.

Looks like a scam where they charge you every time you get a message. I've ended up paying £20. Be sure to try and get your money back.

Got a msg from 88311 sayin, 'Reply WIN to 88311 to enter a draw for a new iPad.' Sounds a bit dodgy if you ask me.

Remote Games Ltd, PO Box 5501, Manchester, M61 0PL. Looks legit but I'm not sure who they really are. Got a call from this number and couldn't figure out if it's a scam or something else. Anyone else heard of them?

Got a message saying '88311 iPad entry text' sent to me twice in the past few weeks, both times around 3 in the morning? Pretty weird. Decided to block the number now.

Anyone knows how I can get these texts from 88311 to stop? They’re charging me £18.75 every month and it’s getting annoying.

I got a text from this number saying: Free Message: Reply WIN to 88311 to enter a chance to win a new iPad. At the exact same time, I received a very similar one from 82288 about entering a prize draw for a shopping voucher. After looking into the second one, it seems like folks who reply to it end up being charged £4.50 every week, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to cancel it.

Got a text outta nowhere with no clue who it’s from. I just blocked the number straight away. The message said something like: "free message: reply WIN to 88311 to enter a draw for a new iPad, ignore if you didn’t ask." Definitely sounded dodgy to me.
