Has anybodyelse recieved text from a company called Nextgen Ltd, claiming that you have subscribed to a £4.50 a week program called 'My Content'.

Ive read about this scam on line with mixed reponses as to what action should be taken, do I send a stop msg or do I ignore

TIA

I often wonder if the "stop" process is safe these days? I compare to emails where the advice is simply to delete and not reply, or open documents / links?

Different scenario.

The regulations are centred around sending a stop text to stop these charges from further occurrences.
