84228

Sorry, I think I may have just sent an incorrect message about my own mobile 07740986850 - I meant to send the message about No. 84228 - I have received 6 interactive messages from that no. on 21st Jan 2010 at £1.277 per message.  I have not signed up to anything and certainly do not recall getting 6 messages one after the other between 12.17pm and 12.19pm whilst I was at work.

Can you look into this for me and tell me who 84228 is please?

This number is "The magical Million" lottery number. The one where you have to scratch 3 panels. Remember doing anything like that?

HOW DO I STOP IT!?

I am receiving unsolicited texts @ £1.50 each upon my Orange network mobile!

I have received 12 sms from this 84228

£36.40 extra on my orange bill from received texts from 84228.  Why are orange not filtering this number?  I now have to go through the pain of ringing the orange service desk in India and be given the run around...

Orange call centres are not all in India... Most in Billing are based in North Tyneside or Darlington...

And they can't credit you back, they'll refer you to the company who are sending the messages. Orange cant credit back for 3rd party services...
Anyway, if you text stop to the number they wont text you anymore..


I work in the billing department at Orange.

Why did I receive text from this number when I have not text

i have just got 7 messages from these scum they have took 8 pound of me and i needed that money on my phone how can i get rid of them any ideas xxxx polly

Just added 7.50 to my bill i aint paying it who are these scumbags an address would be good

Can't remember the message but has cost me £6.77 on messages received 6 times.

I have been charged 7.5 for 6 text messages which I don't remember I received on my O2 mobile. How can I stop this?

I have received a final reminder for an unclaimed prize rollout, can't recall entering anything. Anyway the numbers to ring or to text are 09061581052 and text RED49 to 84228. Needless to say, I have not rung or send a text, checked it first on here.

I had the same text BLUE50 to 84228 or call 09061581407. I'm not going to do either, but I would like to know the compay or organisation

just been robbed of £10 checking if a winner on their scratch card

how can be that legal??people should trust on the sunday times.the police should do something about

If you entered the competition then there is not much you can do. It does clearly state in the fine print what it costs.

Usually around £8

I forgot i had entered the competition and was further confussd when it appeared on my bill as 1 premium sent and 6 received.
Only if they continue to send unsolicited texts can you complain.
