Scam

[Anonymous]

I have been subject of a scam while using Internet a pop up subscribed me to pay 3.75gbp per week. I did not even know I had been entrapped. The pop-up just was a text number 66299 when I enquired re special charge on my o2 bill I was given a no to phone I unsubscribed but charge still came through today. I phoned o2 support who told me they have written to 66299 and cancelled any future charges.Has anyone else been entrapped in this way ? Message back from 66299 was they had put me into a weekly prize competition

Popups don't subscribe you to a program. The OP must have clicked on it to subscribe to whatever it was advertising.

Correct @Bambino

Whatever was clicked or not, the chap is getting billed now!

I just wanted to clarify what the OP had said in the first sentence of their post. Yes they are being billed, but they need to sort this out themselves or with the help of the PSA.

For sure, sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.....

Oh it was clear. I was just commenting on what the OP had said about the popup.
