82344

I have been billed for 3 text messages (£2.50 each time) from 82344 but have not received any to date. Nor have I ever signed up to any of these 'services'.

Getting a monthly text costing 1.25 but T Mobile can't do anything about it although they say it is for a subscription from May 2013. Strange as the contract only commenced on 2 August 2013. Tried sending stop text to 82344 and stop all to 60113 but it says "you are not subscribed to any service on that short code.

Have you managed to get it sorted out as my son keeps getting monthly texts from the 82344 number (see my post). T Mobile don't seem to be able to do anything although a few months ago they said they were going to block overseas 3rd parties but that hasn't worked.

I've just received by bill and am not happy to be charged £6.25 for texts that I didn't request.

Am hacked off with these numbers I had £14.10 refunded from my provider Tesco last month from a different number that I didn't recognise and have not contacted. Now another number 82344 are texting me and even though I delete without opening text I am still being charged £2.50 a time, this month it has clocked up £12.50, so have to contact Tesco yet again to try to get a refund as do not know who this is, they started, after tracing past bills, last year after I came back from Rome, where I was texting UK family from my mobile, might be a coincidence not sure but hopefully can put a stop to it even if I have to change my mobile number, what a nuisance these companies are.

for the last 4 months ive recieved messages from 82344 at £2.50 a time  i have paid over £100 on these and i dont know how to stop them can any one help

I have been charged £15 a month for something I did not sign up for!

I keep on receiving these texts and have raised my bill by almost £15. I have not signed up for this caller.

EASY SOLUTION TO THE SCAM
This is definitely a scam, it has affected thousands of people over the years and has made the scammers and their front men (the networks) millions!  If you contact your network they will just give you the run-around and tell you to contact the scammers.  The networks know this is a scam, but are happy to enable the scammers to keep going as they take a cut of the proceeds.  
If you get any unwanted premium rate texts, you should send an email or registered letter to the customer service department of your mobile network with the following text (replace O2 with your network's name):

" I have received a number of unsolicited premium rate texts from 82344.  I do not have an agreement, contract or relationship of any kind or form with this scam company, hence all texts sent to me were sent illegally as per 2003 E-Privacy Regulations.  The money taken from my account was also taken illegally as per the 1968 Theft Act.  Since my contract is with O2 and it is O2 that has knowingly or unknowingly been complicit in this theft I expect one the following from O2:

•    I expect O2 to refund the money illegally taken from my account and O2 to take this up with the scammers.
•    I expect O2 to provide me with a full and detailed audit trail proving that I subscribed for this service and that the money was taken legally.

Please advise me within 48 hours of receipt of this email, which of the two above actions O2 will be taking.  If I do not receive a satisfactory reply within 48 hours I will be making a formal complaint to Oftel, reporting the theft to the Police and initiating legal action.
"

It’s almost a certainty the network will not have any proof of a subscription, they may have details of texts sent or received, but unless they can provide the content of those texts then they can't prove that you subscribed. They will have to refund the money or get the scammers to refund the money (make sure you get a FULL refund).

I did all of the above with O2 and they finally stopped giving me the run-around and got me a refund.  Don't let them fool you into thinking you signed up by accident, or you weren't paying attention, this is nothing but a SCAM.  The scammers buy your number from mailing lists or simply auto generate it from known number ranges.

Hope this helps, good luck...

I recently noticed charges from 82344 for £2.038 and didn't know what it was so I Googled it and found that it's a charge for something I know nothing about. I have now checked my bills for the last 6 months and can see the nber and the charges add up to over £70!! I have text STOP to the number and received a return text saying they will stop within one working day. But this won't get my money back I am totally disguste

when i queried my bill with virgin they told me 82344 had txt me and charged £5 i rang 01494750500 they have blocked 82344 from txt. me

This number is unobtainable to stop scam texts how do i stop them charging my mobile account?

This number (82344) has now text my son 3 times and charged over £2 per text
I have spoken to my provider O2 who said to reply STOP which we have duly done yet they are still sending texts
