80160

Just got a message, and never subscribed or gave anyone my number, people who get this message
ring your ISP and tell them that the number 80160 sent u a text, they will block this scam( they call it a 3rd party texts, I had to ring T-mobile today and a gentleman made sure I am not charged anything and set up a block for these scams.... impossible with the scammers.

dont worry they make sure u wont get these txts anymore!

received a text saying i had won something and should text back to find out exavtly what it was. called my network provider (t-mobile) straightaway and explained the situation. they were able to block ALL of these types of numbers from ever coming through again!

Just called my service provider and they said to basically do as what everyone else has done, text STOP to the number. They also gave me a phone number to complain to 08458833282

I get a text every month saying thanks for using smsunlt.com we have topped up your account with 200 messages to use. I don't want them, don't remember asking for them and get plenty of free texts via my o2 pay and go phone.

Hi, Can you please email me with more info as i can help you get a refund for these texts :-)

Thanks.

Just got a text from this number (80160) saying I have won a prize, and I should text back to find out what, or text STOP to stop further texts....
Not happy as I am on PAYG and have had to pay to speak to someone at T-Mobile to be told they will not refund any money taken by these thieves - but they have given me the name & contact number for them so I can try to get a refund (haha) and report them for unsolicited scam texts.

FYI: MBLOX 0845 8833282

I just recieved a message from the text4gifts 80160 number. I opened it to see what it was and then called Vodafone. They tell me I HAVE BEEN CHARGED just for looking at the message and supposedly there is nothing I can do to stop the charge. They give a non guaranteed block on these types of message BUT NOT BY DEFAULT. The say I can send the STOP message but I will be charged for that and they offered to give me the company's customer service number which (you guessed it) I'll be charged to call.

DO NOT OPEN these messages and get your provider to block premium rate calls in. Vodafone dont charge you but it can take up to 30 days to activate.

I got one of these messages on my phone called my provider T-Mobile who have put a block on these numbers that charge me. Also told me to text STOP ALL to 700020178.  They have also kindly removed the charge for the text sent to me £1.40, which I feel is excellent service.  They have put a block on my daughters and husbands phone to stop these thieving arabs from stealing our money.  I would suggest we all do the same and they would soon be out of business but also our providers should recharge them for sending unsolicited texts that cost the receipiant money. Maybe we should start a campaign to put a stop to them once and for all.

Same message appeared on O2 phone. Going to use everyones advice and report it now

Just got a message from text4gifts on 80160, currently in the queue to O2 to get them to block it.

Cyndy - you do realise out of the money you get charged for these premium rated services that your network takes a huge chunk of that dont you?

Anyone receiving texts from 80160 - to stop them just send a text message to the number 80160 with the text STOP ALL - this will remove you from any services or marketing lists you may be on.

Any company involved in mobile services is required by law to remove you from their services when they receive a text from you with STOP ALL.

Sorry for  that i want to know why i  have stop to receive my smsunltd because i have already paid for the month when i go online i couldn t send any messages my ph no is 447972388104 . Thanks for all and i wait for an answer.

Here's what you should do to get ALL your money back from 08000MUMDAD:-

1.    IMPORTANT - get your mobile provider to change your number AND bar premium rate SMS – push like hell and threaten to leave if they don’t because they make loads of money from premium SMS calls…

2. Send A VERY POLITE email to support@08000mumdad.co.uk or send a letter to 08000 MUMDAD Ltd, Suite 35/176, Finchley Road, LONDON with the following points:-

-    Your full name, address and mobile phone number.
-    Inform 08000 MUMDAD that the mobile phone belongs to you -  an ADULT.
-    Explain that YOUR phone was given to a CHILD for protection.
-    Explain that you have NEVER given AUTHORITY or PERMISSION to use their services. Also explain that your designated CHILD has no authority to authorize charges against YOUR phone.
-    Point out that UK LAW is quite clear on this point and that THEY should NOT have charged YOUR phone for SERVICE you DID NOT CONSENT TO.
-    Ask them for a FULL REFUND at their earliest convenience.  

3. Wait for no more than 3 working days then chase them again. If you're sending letters through the post, consider sending 5 reminder letters every day with no stamp! This REALLY winds them up because they'll get charged LOADS by the Post Office!!

4. Keep chasing and pushing until they relent,. Make sure THEY understand that their pain is your personal hobby. You have plenty of venom and all the time in the world to make them feel as much pain as you can deliver in law.

5. You may need to get really nasty and buy 100 cheap LARGE envelopes and send 10 a day (with NO STAMP) marked STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL with a blan piece of papaer inside. Revenge is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

6. If you stick by your guns and keep battering these scumbags, THEY WILL PAY UP!

7. If they send you an unsigned cheque (common trick), send it back with a covering letter asking for another cheque with £3 added to cover all the inconvenient they've caused you!

Don't get mad get even and have fun!
