What the text means @Anonymous is you have signed up to a subscription games service for £4.50 per week, possibly inadvertently by clicking on a link in a game. If you do not wish to be subscribed then you should text STOP to the number indicated in the text to unsubscribe asap. Hopefully before any money is taken out of your account
This is why it's so important to be very careful what you click on in a game or when browsing a website.
If you find £4.50 has been debited to your account you will need to get in touch with the company direct asking for a refund.

No problem @Anonymous Pleased we could help and welcome to the forum .
Thanks for letting us know the sites you were looking at. (Hope you sorted yourself a nice holiday :smileywink:) For further info, we usually find FB is one of the worst places for enticing folk to 'click on this link'....

The websites are obviously getting partially founded by running these games and adverts but it is still the responsibility of the regulatory body , the PSA. The website should be made aware though that they are hosting these scams.
