There is a help thread here from a member about dealing with spam and incidents such as this http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/Are-you-fed-up-with-spam-calls-and-texts-Follow-...

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Hi @Anonymous

This number is a scam and known to Watchdog. Apparently it comes from a company called juicy win. You can read of more instances of people being scammed through this company who use this code

http://www.smswatchdog.com/list.php Did you sign up for any competitions or anything similar?

Either way do not text stop as apparently some people have been charged for doing that. You need to report them here.... http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/

Do you guys think that it could be useful to create a guide with the scam numbers and keep updating it from now on?
