8Z Pty Ltd are scammers and fraudsters. I have never contacted them or sent them any kind of text message, nor have I subscribed to any of their products. They billed me a total of $28.00 in August 2013. I queried this with Optus. They were nice enough to cancel the $28.00 fees and have now blocked this criminal organisation from debiting my Post Paid mobile account.

If you do not complain, they will keep on ripping you off.

I just noticed that my wife's bill had all these extra charges on it . Same story no reply to phone calls to the 1300 number but I will call Vodafone and let them know about this crap in the morning . This is illegal ,as my wife closed the pop up and it still charged us . I'm not happy . Scam scam scam ..... That's all I can say.

Hi,
Billed 45$ every month.Paid 164$ already vodafone said to call that 13oo number if they dont give refund then they will escalate it. Rip off and also think the service providers have a commission in it.

Just got the message at 3am last night that I had been subscribed to AppyClub. I have no knowledge of authorising this. The only thing I can think of is accidentally bumping an ad while using the iTorch app on my phone. Have used the unsubscribe function and received a text saying I am unsubscribed now, but am not sure I will still not be charged the initial $5 for 'signing up'. I do not understand how these sort of scamers keep getting away with it.

i just had the same problem... call your server and get them to block the number so they cant msg you anymore..so annoying!

How do I stop this ph no I have no idea what or who this is but im being charged for these anyway???

The number is never answered. Their 19 number never gets delivered, they are shonky crooks and breaking the law.

Just got off the phone to Optus in regard to this dodgy operation of MobileActive.
Had been charged for a service i have no knowledge of subscribing to.
Optus was left with no misunderstanding of how i feel about these underhanded operations.
The fellow at Optus asked me to hold the line while he contacted MobilActive and as a consequence all related charges were refunded.
I sensed the Optus assistant was not too supportive of my mention of reporting this mob to a higher authority.
Nevertheless I think we all need to make a lot of "noise" about this sort of stuff as no doubt there are many who pay their phone bill without to much checking.
I have since lodged an online complaint to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman
 www.tio.com.au

I received charges of $45.50, $36.40 & $55 over 3 months. I have never subscribed to this and having unsubscribed online and spoken to them, they promised to refund the money within 21 days. I have still received nothing. When I try to call them, they say all operators are busy and I have to leave a voicemail. They never call me back. I am reporting to Fair Trading now.

I used an android app called flashlight HD LED
If you mistakenly click on the  adds  you get subscribed to premium sms at $5 per month without a confirmation sms because you are doing it throgh the app store.
Sharp practice  but fraudulent in my  view.
Be warned
I solved it by calling my provider who instantly reversed the charges!
They must be sick of this companies practices

$30 credit disappeared from my mobile and I've not even used it once.  I called Optus, they told me some 1900 advertizing company stealing credits. Optus refunded the credit but I hold Optus responsible for such fraud as they must provide security with products they sell.

Same proble  as everyone else.
My question is:   Why doesn't all the phone companies put a stop to this SCAM.

got billed 9x @ $4.55 each.  This is done automatically ( I mean stealing/ robbing)

If this 1300886534 number steal $50 each from everyone per month and get away,
they will get rich in no time.  Where is the legal system?????

Call 1300 886 534 for a full refund. They said they would refund me within 21 working days. They have been scamming me for 4 months now.

I've called 3 times and can't get through to a person. I never signed up for this. SCAM.

Telstra won't refund appy club charges but took responsibility to call them and disengage us from their parasitic billing. They get you with games like Edu Room on ipad (apple is at fault in this scam too) and I couldn't believe it when I saw an uncoil cited full screen "click here" come up during the game, if you inadvertently press again it says telstra will bill you, and they do... This is such a scam and the scam artists behind it are mo club or something, don't download eduroom it is the catalyst which gets this started...

I bet there is a conspiracy.they are working with the scammers To make extra money. Thats how we are fgetting goid phone plans, or rather how I am getting good phone plans

My number is with tpg. This scam is still happening as of 12/4/14. I cant believe no one has been able to stop this daylight robbery from happening.  Never clicked on any ad or subscribed. when i emailed them, they provided some bogus ip address they claim i was signed up from, no where near me. Still receiving fees after unsubscription (they even sent a sms saying i was unsubscribed). Not seeing much recourse apart from changing numbers.

I've also been scammed by apply club. Also don't believe anything Vodafone say. An article in the Herald Sun on April 6 2014 had Vodafone spokesperson, Karina Keisler, saying that thaey had asked Appy club to stop marketing to Vodafone customers. I've just noticed that I'm still getting billed from them. Vodafone, Telstra, Optus and other providers, take a cut from these low-lifes. That's why it"s on your Bill! If you want to find these scumbags, it's easy. The company trades as - 8Z PTY LIMITED. Go to ASIC home Page - choose - Organisation Business search. Choose - Current Company Information - and there you have it. It's a $9 but worth it , as it gives you all the info on the scumbags ripping you off!!
