Shady text message!

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Hope you can help.

This evening I received a text message from this number:- 60447, I didn't open it, but I did google the number and it said that this guy had received a few text's from this number and when he checked his bill he had been charged £1.50 each time for the received text 😔 Can anyone tell me if this is true cos I'm a bit worried now 😢 

Thank you ... Crystal_Tips.

It would be good if they could block all of them if the customer requested it but as we know, they can't.
I don't even think a premium charge block will stop incoming texts.

No, only outgoing calls....

Thought so.

I did as o2 asked me to do, I text stop, and also rang the company

If it doesn't stop I'll either, request a new number or I'll just leave o2 ... Simples 😊😜👍

All good then.

The only people I've ever given my number to on the internet is 'o2' to speak to them via their chat facility.

Calling the scammers is the only way. Hope you don't get any more charges to your account

You don't need to give them your number. Once you have clicked the question or competition link it reads the phone number off your phone automatically.
