Unauthorised payment from remote games

[DekuKid]

Hi, I recently went to pay my monthly bill and I saw the tariff charge was a little more this month so I went to find out why and it says on the things I bought that I made a payment of £4.50 to remote games, I don't even know what it is nor have I even heard of it, I've never used my O2 account to buy anything other than paying my bill each month, I doubt I'll be able to get the £4.50 refunded but I just want to make sure it doesn't keep happening, especially when I've had no texts or emails to confirm this payment which worries me

I thought I'd best see if the community can help first before I contact O2, thank you in advance.

I have recently charged with remote games without my knowledge and consent every week £4.50 since 12 May (today 20 September 2019).
This scam is very serious and O2 is not taking responsibility. I am leaving O2.
