Google the numbers to find out who is sending them to you and contact them to stop.
Phonepayplus can also help you as per Adams link above.

It sounds as if you may have clicked on a link via FB or some other site... which could then sign you up for something you neither want or need.....

Just make sure you follow up on all numbers and get them to remove your number. You can also ask them to refund your money - they will if they are legit companies.
Remember in future that those free giveaways, like win £500 of Tesco vouchers or get an iPhone for £1 are just scams.
