Sending a STOP text to 65101 should stop the charges. There will be a charge of about 10p for sending this text. You should add this charge to any refund you claim from PMConnect.
Once you have stopped the charges, you should contact PMConnect to insist on a FULL refund.
You need to be aware that O2 leak your phone number to third parties when you access the internet using mobile data, and this is probably how your number was acquired in order to make these charges. The system which does this is called 'Payforit'.
These companies use vulnerabilities of the 'Payforit' system to obtain consumers numbers and sign them up to bogus subscriptions. Simply closing an innocent looking popup can pass your number to these scammers.
