Hi. I have inadvertently clicked on an advert on a website and bern sent a text saying I’m going to be charged £4.50 a week for a reading service. I’ve replied STOP to the text. Two questions:
1. Will that stop the charges?
2. How can I recover any fees I’ve been charged by this scam?
Thanks

Hi @DavidEll 

See help and advice here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Have-you-fallen-for-or-been-conned-into-a-premium-rate-s... and here https://payforitsucks.co.uk/

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.
