"free msg. sorry, a service could not be delivered as you do not have sufficient credit. please top up to receive the service." I ain't given out my number yet i continuously get texts from them. so now if I top up they going to take the costs out of that. how do i stop it without having to pay?

Just been ripped off for GBP 1.50 for a call Ididn't want followed by another GBPB 1.50 to say stop - I want to kick [***] and get my money nack but where do I go to? Vodaphone are you listening???

im getting texts everyday from this number but i didn't order any servises :-S
whatss hapening

Not spoken or had anything to do with this company. This phone is recorded as one not to receive cold calls etc.

Any ideas on why I am getting this and how to stop it?

It's something to do with the number 08000 686 323 (MUM DAD) You have either made or recieved a reverse charge call.

How do i stop these guys texting me?!

the reason you are receiving these calls is because you have texted or called some seedy operator such as Adult Logos/World Cup 08448845050 or Bang Babes chat service 08702690415.
to get rid of these monkeys send STOP ALL to 80160. this only costs your normal text rate.

tell me please

hello, I'm getting phone calls from some private number which when I answer I hear a message which goes something like : "Hello this is 08000... to accept a reverse call press  a button and say yes" which I'm sure this is some kind of scam and no one is acctually trying to reach me,  and   I mean wouldn't mind this, I would just hang up as soon as I realised it's them again, but today I received another call from them with different message telling me that  because I reject the call all the time and I seem to be using it as some kind of messaging service  they will start to charge me for it.   It doesn't make any sense to me, I have never accepted the call from this service. again I want to say that the number I'm getting calls from is concealed, so I don't even know who to contact. (btw I'm with Vodaphone)Thank you for any suggestion.

FreeMsg: Welcome to the Tunesuwant club. This is subscription service at £1.50 per month.

I got a message from 80169 today saying:

Free Message fancy a chance to audition for Spiderman 4? Text the word FAME to 80160  followed by your name.

I've called o2 about it now as Im on a contract to see if I have been charged and they said I havent so thats good...

I have received some messages from this number and I don't know how this happened. I'm not sure but I have not signed for anything like that and I don't want to pay for it. Who I should complained to? This is illegal as I have never agreed to be charged for receiving sms's. I can't control incoming messages so I can't pay for it.

This seems to be connected to 85222 as well, because 80160 is something to do with mblox which comes up as 85222. Please see that thread also.

my mum just got a messege thru to her mobile that charged her £1.50,,,,i get them all the time but just ignore them,,,,but getting msg's to my mum wanting her to watch sum tart called amy on her video fone is a joke,,,,,,anybody know how i can stop these and get her money back??????

Make sure you report these to Phonepayplus, 2 companies have just been fined £20k and been barred from operating for 12 months as a result of complaints from the public. Admittedly they were for missed call scms, but they do rule against text scammers too.

Complaints can be made on line through the phonepayplus web site, they also have a number checker there that you can use to find out who operates the "service" spamming you.

The public need to be reporting every single instance of these scams so that the complacent OFCOM and Phonepayplus get a realistic view of just how widespread this sort of fraud is.

Several Uk networks offer premium rate barring now, I know Voda do, but getting it put on can be a problem in itself! ALL networks should offer this - we should have control to prevent our accounts being plundered by these fraudsters - who usually turn out to be based overseas and beyond reach.

I got a text from this number last night, not signed up for anything yet i've just checked my online bill and it's charged me £1.50 to receive it!! I don't want to pay to stop them as i didn't ask for them in the first place!! did other people get more texts or was it just the one?

Just found out that I have been charged for a text received from 80160 on 31/01/2009.I did not request this text and did not reply to it.I actually deleted it as a nuisance.Fuming is my mood now I discover that some slimy toad has my money for no reason.I thought that this practise had been outlawed.
I have followed the advice above and sent STOP ALL to the number.Fingers crossed
