Solved: SPAM TEXT AND CALLS

Anonymous · ‎11-06-2013

ANYONE GETTING LOADS OF CALLS AND TEXT FROM UNSOLICITED NUMBERS?

Most are about PPI/Loans/pension.

Informed O2 customer services and sent back STOP/END. Feel like saying fudge off but still they come. Business phone so need same number.

What next?

Just forward them to 7726.

If it's a UK company they can be prosecuted, and must respond to a STOP message.

Texts from abroad cannot be stopped but you can still report them.

Probably not a great idea to send STOP to these numbers. Take a look at this thread. It might be of some help to you:

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.

dont ever reply to these! Never send "stop"

As soon as you reply they have conformation the number is active 😞 They then have another number to sell on.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told

I have texts from around 9 of those numbers as well.

Tps doesn't stop text messages and their advice is to opt out by contacting the company concerned which surely lets them know the number is live
