08706091795

Receive unrequested video - when I opened it I was charged £5. This should not be allowed!!! Texted 83435 to stop and told to phone 08706091795 to ,stop further servives.

I recieved an unsolicited video text from W2 (they also call themselves Venista), charged me £4.50. I found their website and emailed them via that. They have apologised and have said they will send a full refund.  A result, but still a hassle, as I have to take a trip to the bank to pay the check in.
If your unsolicited texts and video messages are from W2 or Venista, I suggest you send an email to this address, accuse them of theft an demand a refund.

I hope this helps.

Sorry I forgot to say, the numbers of the sender are the same as those in Jean Silvester's post.
Thanks

I am a pensioner and disabled and use my phone to contact my son when I need him. I thought the message was off my son it cost me £4.50 for something I don't want or need these people should be found and have everything they own taken from them to repay all the people they have ripped off

Who is W2 mobile company? I sent a stop message to 83044 but think I was still charged for not downloading video even though they said thank you for doing so! Try info.uk@w2mobile.com.
These people need to be stopped.

if you want them stopped then report them

they aint going to stop because you lot are moaning to each other.

and another thing to bare in mind.  when these crooks have stopped swindling you they could (and probably will) sell you numbers to the next mob

happy xmas

If anyone finds out who the people are running this scam please announce it here. I want a (cough cough) little chat with them behind a dark alley! thanks.

all this happened to me, but i complained to them via email to dora@venista.com i got a full refund,dont let them take your money.

I had a charge of nearly £5 for unsolicited downloads. Orange told me to phone WIN on 0845 1309911. They said they would get the originator to phone me and when they did they said they would put a stop on it happening again and they would refund the £5 which they have. 'They' turned out to be SMS Services www.w2mobile.co.uk. However if I hadn't noticed the charge on my bill they would have got away with daylight robbery as I have never sought nor in fact downloaded anything on my phone intentionally. Pay Phone Plus on 0800 500 212 are the people to complain to.

I received 4 texts from this number and furious its cost me £6 of my hard earned money! what a con!

I had a video message saying it was from my son, as I was caught before and charged a lot of money I deleted it. In the morning I had a message saying thank you for down loading the file and charged me £3. I got intouch with Vodafone and they gave me the number to stop it and refunded the £3.
Text (STOP84748) mine was from WIN PLC.

they sent me 4 unsolicited texts. I got charged £1.50 each. Virgin refused to help when I contacted them  cant be right.

Why have i had a bill from o2, for £2.77 as i have never used your service.

Mr Yelland

I had an unsolicited text message from 82324 saying 'thanks for downloading the video.....'  I replied 'What video?' as nothing was received anyway (and I didn't want it!).  It says 'any problem call 08706091795', but then also '£3.00/video + standard  GPRS/WAP charges.'  What to do for the best?

Yep, did me as well - only £3 so far. Orange don't want to know and said I probably signed up for it by agrreing to some small print on an internet download without reading it. - sorry to say that may be possible!!! doh!

If you need to call any 0870 numbers, first check out "say no to 0870" website to get the landline number.

I got caught buy this too, got a video service message and downloaded it without realising what it was or who it had come from, then afterwards found out most of my credit had gone, it was probably around £4.50

Just received the same message via text.......

Video service message ! Venista
Gave this link...... http://m.MOBI.com/app/s/9kfrb9n/nnH76_1hM5_nh/

Definately looked suspicious so checked it out on the web first and found all your posts. Glad I have not opened it.
These people should be hung, drawn and quartered for defrauding people out of money !!

Utter disgrace, am wondering if I can block them from coming through. Am on contract with o2.....will do some more reading I think.

Forgot to mention.....
Message details gave me this phone number.....

+994557072676

I received a video service message from venista numbered 1vni last night - I detest these thieves, can anything be done to stop this thiving behaviour?
