EE have introduced a 2!step verification process for premium rate services. 

Vodafone allow customers full control within the My Vodafone app. 

O2 currently do nothing and many thousands of customers are scammed out of a lot of money every month. 

What will you do O2!to keep up with the competition and protect your customers or are you happy to take a cut and leave customers exposed?

if you want to add your voice to this, please comment below. 

Over to you, O2 ?

On their website O2 Claim that they only "work with sellers we trust".

Do they really "trust" these companies?

They also say they'll "make sure you get your money back if your a victim of fraud". I haven't seen much evidence of any effort on the part of O2 to help victims of these plainly fraudulent companies.

 

It's really negligent of O2 not to call time on Payforit scams.
