82288

Just filled out voucher comp
On FB avoided parts where it said I would be charged now received a free message from 82282 ? Asking me to respond? I don't want  charges website address www.m.activeyou.co.uk

Thought the competition was from O2 tewards so l went ahead because it all seemed legit. Again, no mention of any payment involved in the application stage of the competition. Sharp practice! Why have these guys not been closed down?
Found out today that £4.50 has been added to my bill.
PhonePayPlus are closed at the moment for training!!!

Have reported them to PhonePayPlus who will investigate the matter and get back to me within 6 weeks.
Have contacted O2 who say they will put a block on this number to prevent it affecting my account again.
Can't understand why such companies don't get immediately blacklisted.

i get calls ect from 82288 and now i find they want to charge me £4.50 per week being a pensioner I cannot afford this how do I stop it I sent text to stop but several of my friends say they been charged even after the stop please advise

I was charged almost £20 by pantherplay I've never heard of them. Fortunately virgin removed the charge and blocked them from txting me. They also advised me to phone them to remove my number from their list, which I have just done.

I had a text saying enter free competition once entered it said would take £4.50 a week tried to stop it and it on 82288 and it would not deliver message this is discusting

I have just received my mobile phone bill and discovered three premium rate texts sent or received (not sure which) to/from number 82288, on two Sundays in June charged to my account, totalling £9.12. I did not send these texts or receive them.  Fortunately my mobile provider were brilliant and have refunded this amount into my account, but people need to be aware that this can happen.

I am in same situation EE won't help gotta do it myself not successful as yet think media attention  required these scams stealing our money I intend to put a stop.

I am pensioner and received text and pressed reply instead of cancel and then found out it will cost me £4.50 per week. How do I cancel this?

they are a con don't accept their free ipad from a message ON YOUR I PHONE. They should be shot I'm changing my number.

Absolutely shocking.  My 10 year old daughter unfortunately clicked a competition to win an IPAd air who wouldnt at 10?? Unbeknown to her she had unwittingly got me billed 4.50 a week for this scam company who are doing this all the time.  We tried to text stop from her phone which did not work.  So rang the company on 03332027721 who didnt care that they had targeted a 10 year old who wouldnt know any better but said they have removed her number from their database.  Really hope so as I have been charged £9 already.  Vodafone customer service were rubbish couldnt or wouldnt block any premium rate numbers or texts even though she is 10 and I am charge of her bill.  Shocking hope anyone who gets stung by this company gets help to stop them charging your phone company.  Going into Vodafone later to see how I get on wish me luck!!

As in most of the above comments I did a small competition on facebook and have been charged £4.50 on this months Vodafone bill. I sent a STOP text to 82288 which they acknowledged. I hope that will be an end to it. I have learned my lesson

Clicked for win a free Ipad and just found out I have been charged £4.50 x 9 times in 3 weeks !!
Text was from 82288 and on my Bill has Internet for Schools

Don't want I pad

I don't know this number. I want them to STOP sending me messages. It is costing me £3.75 to recievd them. I am not interested in any free bees they are offering.

How can I STOP the SMS from 82288? Please help.

Reply to the number saying: Stop All

This is what EE have advised.

Advice from EE, they said contact them for a refund on: 03332020419 or contact@customercaredepot.co.uk

Competition (subscription service - text STOP All to 82288 to cancel)

just phoned 03332027721 as a previous poster suggested. The said they would cancel immediately but no refund would be given! I will never ever enter anything again. My husband is recovering from major heart surgery and thus is another problem I can do without. Money is important to us all NOT to some scam company.
