Reports on phone number 88833
2 yearsThis has got to be some sort of scam, we started getting charged loads for texting "stop" from my daughter's phone. Every time we tried to cancel it said there was an error but the charges kept coming. In the end, she got billed for more than 25 messages, proper frustrating!2 yearsThis number, or one very similar to it but with some extra digits at the start, sent me a dodgy message. The one I got was from 8788833. Just a heads up that it’s connected to something called offers2you, so watch out. If you want to stop getting charged, just text STOP to 88833 and that should cancel it.2 yearsHow do I make it stop? I’m just 12 and I really need someone to help me or else I’m gonna be in big trouble.2 yearsThey said I owe £4.50 and an extra £1.50 each day if I dont sort it out.3 yearsPLEASE JUST STOP IT.4 yearsI got messages that cost £1.50 each time I got one. They say to text stop to quit, but my son didn’t mention any of this and just put the messages into the spam folder. Even with that, they kept coming through and I ended up paying loads. It’s really frustrating and feels like a total rip-off.4 yearsI’m looking to put an end to those text reminders from 88833. They're becoming rather bothersome!4 yearsFreebiesmagic4 yearsBeware of calls from 88833 - it's a scam and could be risky to engage with.4 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number lately.4 yearsHi there! I recently had a call from the number 88833, and they inquired about my date of birth, which I ended up sharing with them.4 yearsI've been plagued by calls from this number for the last month, and it's absolutely appalling! What a dreadful experience!4 yearsAs a member of the STC team, I can definitely verify that this phone number belongs to our Sales department.STCSales4 yearsBeware, this number will charge you £1.50 for every text they send. If you don't text back 'stop', they just keep sending messages and the charges keep piling up.4 yearsI received a call from the number 88833, and I’m wondering if it belongs to STC or if it’s just a scam? They wanted to know my date of birth. What do you reckon?STC4 yearsI keep getting calls from the number 88833, and it's quite frequent! Sometimes they ring me multiple times throughout the day. It's becoming rather bothersome, to be honest.5 yearsReceived a nuisance call from STC Phone Bahrain. Quite annoying, to say the least!STCBahrain5 yearsThis 88833 number has been a real pain, adding extra charges to my phone bill and stressing me out.5 yearsReceived a call today around 1 PM, according to Bahrain's time zone.Bahrain5 yearsI see that quite a few folks have mentioned the number 88833, and I can definitely relate to the irritation it brings. I've attempted to block those messages myself, only for them to keep returning from an unknown source! I'm at my wits' end trying to figure out how to free myself from this incessant nuisance. The £4.50 a week fee for what seemingly amounts to a load of game rubbish is just unacceptable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make these messages stop once and for all? I'm not letting this go until I've sorted it out!5 yearsRegarding the incessant text messages from 88833, I've realised they operate under the name Offer Scanner. Shockingly, these pesky messages can cost you £4.50 each week! I recommend shooting them an email, but be prepared- they'll request your mobile number. Their contact email is [email protected]. Fingers crossed this information proves useful to everyone!5 yearsI certainly do, yet it simply returns as an unidentified message!6 yearsI've been bombarded by texts from the number 88833, and each one seems to come with an unwelcome charge. Honestly, it's infuriating! I'm not about to keep throwing my cash away on this nonsense. I'm currently with Three, but I’m seriously considering switching to EE due to this pesky number. It’s clear these folks are nothing but scammers!ThreeEE6 yearsThey kept sending me texts and every single one cost me more than 100 quid in total from 88833. It's ridiculous how they keep charging for each message without stopping.6 yearsI keep receiving a monthly reminder that they intend to charge me £4.50 each week, even though I've expressly asked them to halt these messages. It’s quite frustrating!7 yearsso 88833 is one of those premium text numbers from offers2you[###]. basically it’s a subscription you might've accidentally signed up to, charging you between £1.50 for each message and up to £4.50 every week. i found out the hard way since my kid ended up doing it and i got the bill! if you wanna quit it, just reply “stop” to the number and that should cancel it.7 yearsI rang up O2's customer support, and the chap assured me he’d put a stop to any more messages coming my way, but lo and behold, they're still arriving! Decided to pop into the nearest O2 store for some assistance. The staff member mentioned that I ought to reach out to the sender of these pesky texts, which is easier said than done since I haven’t a clue who it is. She said she’d place another block, but I’m not holding my breath. At this rate, I might have to consider changing my number altogether. It's baffling why the mobile companies aren't taking more action against these dodgy operators!O27 yearsI've been receiving constant messages from this number, and each one is costing me a pretty penny, which I find utterly frustrating. It feels like such a waste of my money, and I’m not at all pleased about it.8 yearsFor about two months now, this number keeps bugging me. I tried texting 'stop' and even reported it to my carrier, but here I am with an even bigger bill this month! Can't take it anymore, dunno how to fix this. Might just have to switch my number. Proper frustrating.8 yearsHonestly, I’m clueless about this and would rather not find out. The safest bet is to email customercare@oxygens[f##], don’t bother texting back since they’ll just keep billing you. Texting their 88833 number will cost you more, so avoid that.8 yearsI’m in a bit of a pickle! I’ve sent a text saying STOP to this number, but I keep getting a message saying it failed. It’s really racking up my bill each month. I've reached out to my network provider and they assure me I’m following the proper procedure. Can anyone lend a hand here? I'm quite frustrated!8 yearsI’ve just dialled the number 02071122342-hoping it turns out to be useful!8 yearsMy partner received an identical message. I sent a STOP reply from her phone to see if that’ll put an end to it. I also phoned the number 02071122342 mentioned in the text. It turns out it’s an automated line, so that’s another option we have to consider. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next!8 yearsI received messages from them as well, so I decided to text STOP to 82070. Looks like that did the trick!8 yearsCould you kindly refrain from putting a dent in my finances?8 yearsI've been bombarded by this nonsense too! I attempted to shoot an email off, but the messages just keep flooding in. Anyone know how to put an end to this dodgy scam?8 yearsAbsolutely spot on. I completely overlooked the fine print-what a daft move on my part! Consequently, I'm stuck receiving three messages a week, each one pinching £1.50 from my pocket. What's worse is that my attempt to text 88833 hasn’t worked at all. Can anyone lend me a hand in getting out of this mess?8 yearsI wish to put an end to my88833.8 yearsI need to opt out of whatever this number pertains to. I had no idea I was enrolled in anything!8 yearsI've been getting messages from this number that I never asked for, and to make matters worse, I'm being charged for them. There seems to be no way to text STOP back to halt these annoying alerts!STOP8 yearsI received a message from an ASDA advertisement and now they’re trying to bill me nearly £4.50 each week. I've attempted to send a text to cancel the subscription, but it keeps failing. It's quite frustrating!ASDA8 yearsPlease put an end to communications from the number 88833.8 yearsI've been receiving unexpected charges on my mobile bill from the number 88833, and I'm quite baffled by it. Does anyone have a clue how I can put a stop to these charges? It's becoming rather frustrating!8 yearsOi, I’ve just switched from Vodafone to O2 and blimey, it’s turning out to be an absolute nightmare! I'm inundated with random texts, including this one, and I’m being charged for them. I rang O2, and they promised to block these numbers, but nothing happened. They also said they would remove the charges, but surprise, surprise, that hasn’t been done either. I'm seriously considering raising this with Ofcom. Honestly, steer clear of O2! I’m also going to approach the ICO as I’m desperate to understand how my details have leaked since I joined O2. It’s beyond infuriating. If you're currently with O2, you should definitely double-check your bills for any unexpected charges. This month I’ve been hit with an extra £6.25 for those pesky unsolicited texts. Absolutely fuming!VodafoneOfcomICO8 yearsI received a message from this number claiming that it would cost me £1.50 for every text. However, there wasn't any prior announcement about these charges!8 yearsWhat steps can I take to avoid being billed? I’ve already blocked the number, but I’m uncertain if that alone will suffice. I've also sent a *STOP* message to them in hopes of putting an end to it. Has anyone else faced a similar issue? I’d love to hear how you managed to stop the persistent texts!8 yearsWhat’s the best way to stop receiving those annoying texts that cost me £1.50 each? If I simply block the number, will that sort it out, or do I need to take additional steps?8 yearsI keep receiving messages from this number, and I certainly never requested them!8 yearsI keep attempting to block the number, but it keeps telling me the action was unsuccessful.8 yearsI've made several attempts to put an end to it, yet somehow, it keeps drawing me back in.8 yearsI've just had a message come through from this number, claiming they'll start charging me for each text. Quite concerning! I've already blocked them, but I'm wondering if there's any other steps I ought to take to prevent this potential charge. Any advice would be much appreciated!8 yearsKindly text STOP to 88833 (standard texting fees may apply).8 yearsI'm absolutely fed up with these incessant text messages! I've tried sending "stop" but it keeps coming back as undelivered. Does anyone know how to put an end to this nuisance? You'd think it would be straightforward!8 yearsCould you kindly offer some guidance on how to put an end to this? I've attempted responding with 'stop,' but it seems my message won't get delivered.8 yearsI recently participated in a competition hosted by Asda on their Facebook page, and soon after submitting my entry, I received a rather unexpected text from 88833. It stated, “FreeMsg: You've signed up for SuperCoolDiscounts, which will set you back £1.50 for each alert, with a maximum of three per week. You can opt-out at any moment by replying with ‘stop’ to 88833. SP Korelvo Help? 02921433009”. To say I was displeased would be an understatement. I promptly replied with ‘stop’ and proceeded to block the number entirely.AsdaFreeMsgSuperCoolDiscounts8 yearsI've been receiving these premium rate spam texts and was advised to reply with 'stop', but it hasn't made a jot of difference! The messages keep coming, and it's incredibly frustrating!8 yearsI saw this number doing a survey on Facebook and they asked for your phone number. Just a heads up, don’t reply with ‘stopl’ or anything like that. It looks like they’re testing if your number works so they can send spam from other numbers later. I’m not sure what you’re meant to do if they start texting, but defo don’t text ‘stopll’!Facebook8 yearsI keep receiving texts that cost me £1.25 a pop, even after I’ve tried to opt-out! On top of that, I'm being charged 10p every single time I send a stop message. This is beyond frustrating! How on earth can I put an end to these ridiculous messages? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!10 yearsI've received yet another short code message, marking the eighth in just three days! Please, whatever you do, don't respond, not even with a 'stop' - that only confirms to them that this number is active, which they can then sell on to other spam peddlers. If you happen to have an Android device, be sure to add the number to your block list. It's also wise to get in touch with your service provider at your earliest convenience. Let them know you haven't subscribed to these messages, and urge them to implement a block on short code premium numbers for your account. This should help prevent any potential charges. I hope this information proves useful to you!10 yearsI noticed an unusual deduction of £1.25 occurring twice a week every Tuesday for an entire month from my account before I realised what was going on.
