Premium phone number - daughters phone hacked

Hi. Has anyone else received a bill for premium number 0901 034 3000 called from 02 phone, but not actually made from the phone? I think my daughters phone has been hacked.

Some interesting comments attached to this number:

£6 charge on my phone bill. Came from a TikTok advert and it was an IQ test advertisement.

There is a fake IQ test on TikTok. Once you complete the quiz, it tells you to ring the number to get your results. I didn’t ring, but searched it and found this page. To the previous people saying it’s appeared on their children’s statements, they probably clicked the TikTok advert and therefore were unfortunately charged. It’s all a big scam.

Ask O2 to put a block on premium rate numbers on the account.
