My concern is I never gave this company my telephone number my mobile number is not visible on my facebook profile and I never agreed or received any terms and conditions from TOPIKOO. There has been a breach and violation of my privacy on your website. Because my telephone number is not visible. Obviously this is not a kosher company because www.topikoo.com or .co.uk does not exist. I typed TOPIKOO into search engines and there were several complaints from other Facebook users that have been scammed by this same fraudulent company TOPIKOO is advertising on Facebook site.I have just been scammed on FACEBOOK...! I responded to an advert that popup on my newsfeeds from TOPIKOO asking me 3 preference questions about smartphones: question 1: iOS or android I answered android; question 2: slim phone o big phone, I answered big phone; question 3: surfing or chatting, I answered both. The next I knew I got this message "FreeMsg: Thank you for subscribing to Topikoo for £4.50 per week from Tekka until you text STOP to 62442. HELP? 03332021398"
My concern is I never gave this company my telephone number and I never agreed or received any terms and conditions from TOPIKOO FACEBOOK how did this company get my telephone number on your website. There has been a breach and violation of my privacy on your website. Because my telephone number is not visible. Obviously this is not a kosher company because www.topikoo.com or .co.uk does not exist. I typed TOPIKOO into search engines and there are several complaints from other Facebook users that have been scammed by this same fraudulent company TOPIKOO advertising on Facebook site. I expect something must be done about this scam quickly....!This incident has ruined my experience on Facebook....!. A very disappointed dissatisfied Facebook user.....
I expect something must be done about this scam quickly....!I have even sent a text msg STOP to 62442 but its not been delivered. Please I need your advice I am very perplexed and frustrated.Thanks Caroline

there's always another company like this. What changes is how they get you to subscribe without noticing.

Wasn't there another company like this back along & you had to phone the company themselves?
@Anonymous has already given them the number to call and any UK company will do this.

They don't need to know your number, these messages are sent at random until someone responds by clicking on their links.

Until the regulators step in it is ridiculously easy for these companies to scam people. It's being going on for years and facefarce is the biggest source for these con artists.

A bit of a run around but good to see they are doing the right thing.
