654654

this is predicto.com. Do not reply. They charge your verizon number 10 bucks each time. i even heard that happens if you hit delete.

it is a scam. i had a $9.99 charge for a premium txt message on my verizon bill. Did block all premium txt messages for all the phones i have. Do not know how to report them further. need a prosecutor to go after them.

I just called verizon and they told me to text that number (654654) and type in the message :

stop quit end cancel unsubscribe

and it should take it off your phone....$9.99 is a lot for nothing!!

stop texting this number, quit end cancel unsubscribe

I got a text from 654654 so I called Alltel and they blocked the number for me. I sent a text back saying STOP and they replied back stating I'm not a subscribed member...WTF is that. I had Alltel block all text messages that have a charge. This is such a scam!!!!

same thing happen to me on  7/9/08.  is there anyway to stop this people?

How do I get out of this 654654 spam loop?

same thing on 7/12/08 any ideas where it came from?

it happen to me so stop this now 7-23-08

I hate these people. Same thing happened to me. They charged my phone bill 9.99. I never replied and simply ignored them yet i still got charged. Fix the problem asap so you don't end up being charged

I am on the phone with verizon right now about this problem  -- not the first time  

If I am paying the bill to Verizon than why can't it be prevented by verizon this is not a service that any customers want and verizon is not protecting its customers and is collecting the fee for this VENDOR or is it verizon actually ripping people off.  I am furious about this.

WE need customer protection rules.

What government agency govern's phone usage one might ask? I believe this is covered strictly by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). This is no different to the 'slamming' we had in the mid '90s over long distance carriers, but government action was not quick to react. Back then, it was only really stopped by having our long distance accounts locked. Only solution this time will be to demand the carrier prevent all premium text messages as a DEFAULT when accounts are opened. Please, paying customers, demand this of your carrier as a serivce to us all!

ok so i went to Predicto's website and they said all you have to do is send the word "STOP" to 654654. i did, and right away i got a text back saying:
"You have been unsubscribed from Predicto. There is no charge for this message. You will receive no further charges or texts."

I just seen on my Verizon bill 2 charges for $9.99!!! I contacted Verizon but, the said it's a third party and i'll have to txt "stop", "unsubscribe" to make it stop. I finally contacted predicto.com and yelled and persisted that I NEVER heard of this webite, was never on it or texted back!!And, magically a charge appears on my bill! But, the indian lady persisted that I did. I asked her to make a copy of the files showing I submitted to it and to have her send me them but, of course she said no. I insisted to have Corporate Headquarters contact me immediatly to resolve this. But, I really hope I get my money back for this. I sent them plenty of e-mails voicing my opinions. Please everyone, be aware and check your bill frequently online!!

phishing comes to the cell phone.  The punjabi "customer" DISservice agent and the tandoori supervisor explained it like this...  Somehow at some point you clicked I agree, or otherwise agreed to the terms of the service (i.e. getting charged 9.99 for nothing).  If you failed to read or understand or even notice the terms of the service - it doesn't matter.  They still have "documentation" that you "actively agreed" to the terms.  Total GOTCHA capitalism.

got  amessage  on  my phone56

Got me too!!! Some one really needs to slam these guys!! Call your carrier and have them blocked!!!

got a text from 654 654, i better not get charged for that text. what can i do to cancel it?

I just checked out my bill had had that charge too. It was on my husbands part of the bill. At the time he supposably signed up he was at work and on the phone with me at the same time. When we get strange text messages we just delete them. Just texted "stop" to 654654 and they saied that it is ussubscribed now just got to fix the mess with our bill because I am not paying the 9.99.

I just got my US Cellular phone bill with a charge for 9.99 from 654654 so I called US Cellular.  They blocked all spam/texts that charge and gave me this number to call to get the charge removed from my bill.
