Scam

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have received 2 messages from 03332026342 saying - you are subscribed  to iPad play.77win.co/Freeplay for £4.50 per week until you send stop 87066. I certainly haven't subscribed to anything - and they have since taken 2 lots of £4.50 off my balance. I am reluctant to text back just incase it  scams me again somehow? Can anyone advise what to do. In effect they have stolen money from me. Help!!!

Hi @Anonymous

I have googled this number and see many people in the same situation as yourself. You may have inadvertently clicked on a link to win the ipad? http://www.unknownphone.com/search.php?num=03332026342

Some people have been able to opt out of the service by texting stop to the number given 87066

However ...you need to report this to phonepayplus http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/

There's a few of these 'COMPETITIONS' going around. I think they should be banned.

@Cleoriff can you post Adams spam thread. It might help also.
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.
