charges have appeared on my account for over a month now

Fortunate you found out how to stop texts (if not recover your money) from comments above

Have been receiving text messages and have had £10.00 stolen from my credit.

told by vodaphone reply stop and they charge you£3.75 for the message ask your phone company too block all premium rate text messages hope this helps

Had 6 texts at £3.75 ex vat each.
Phoned the number suggested of Xenion (pantherplay). claimed they had not used that short code for 2 years.
Phoned O2 . They phoned Xenion, transfered me to Xenion, Xenion agreed to stop texts but they could not refund as the had not recieved answer to free text sent to opt out. (no such text was ever sent). When I asked if their contact number was 03332027721 I was told no its 03332027722.
I phoned Xenion on the original number, they said they were pantherplay but were part of Xenion.
O2 called back, Barred all premium text numbers,

Progress?

i believe you have been defrauded, report to ActionFraud & Trading Standards. clearly this is a scam and either pantherplay or xenion are responsible. if you did NOT authorise, it's theft. as a last resort, advise them you will issue claim thru Small Claims Court - speak to Citizen's Advise for free help - and as well as return of money taken, you will seek damages AND they will incur your court costs, see Govt website, if you are successful. ask them for confirmation of their registered address for service of court papers. really, you need to decide how much you care about the stolen £22.50. come back & tell us outcome.

I received a text message from this number inviting me to take part in a competition. I replied "STOP" but I still receive messages and am being charged £3.75 for each text.

this caller from this number has cost me a fortune on my Vodaphone bills and I would like to know who they are and where they got my mobile number,.

See second post in this thread.

they keep texting me and i am being charged 3.75 per text they send

no one else says it's asda (which is a pity, cos then you'd have a chance to get money back)

started receiving unsolicited messages from 82288 saying I've been entered into some voucher competition and will be charged £4.50 a week for entering! Help! Never entered this! Texted STOP to 82288 but messages not being delivered. What can I do?

This is a forum for people to exchange information about nuisance callers and scammers.     You will need to contact the people concerned direct to tell them that you want contact stopped.
