84228

what is this I have been charged £7.50 this month

Be warned. If your unlucky enough to receive text messages from this number they can charge you up to £ 20.00 per message. Just for receiving it (Yes twenty pounds per message!!!!!) Your operator (O2 in this case) will not accept that you have not signed up to anything and will expect you to pay up. The only way of stopping these messages is by changing your number.

Yes, your right so far as 84228 have just taken £7 from my mobile, so Orange help desk said just text in upper case the STOP and send it back to 84228 -

yeh don it before but looks to hard

i have no idia, my help is quite rubbish

I just got a text this morning telling me by phone bill is due and it is £55 when it should be £38. I knew I hadn't one over my monthly limit so i went online to find out why I had been charged to check my bill and saw that I had received 12 texts from 84228. This added another £15 o my bill. I think they were the lottery scratch cards. Anyway I think its outrageous how they can justify this. They send several texts intentionally becayse each text they send cost us £1.25 to receive. You send one text and receive 6!

Contact Dawn Griffths at Macintyre & Dodds Marketing on 01989 769292 e-mail dawn@strikelucky.com, she was very helpful and says they will refund the texts

I have these messages and I know a way to stop them.Just don't text back then when your bill comes top up again and then if they text you back straight away call the number on your home phone and make a complaint sometimes they can be crabby but just keep trying no matter what.It took me about ten minutes to get through to them and finally I got my way.

My daughter has just received her Orange bill. She has been unfairly charged 6 seperate text messages at £1.50 per text from 84228. I understand form this forum below,that it could be a possible scratch card promotion from the Sun newspaper... 'Win a million'. After speaking to her, she confirm texting (Once) some promotion.... my point is that for 10p entry text... we were charged £ 9.00 by the promtion company... I guess in the small print, it states about the £1.50 charge but her phone shows only one text received and yet we were charged for six messages....It is disgusting and totally unfair.... is this legal!!!

.

I have just had an email alert from 02 for my son'smobile this morning = upon closer investigation - 12 text messages from this number - he only sent one - & received 12 back @ a cost of £1.25 each message.  Ridiculous.  How can we stop this happening to people who are unaware of the scandalous charges attached to these so -called messages.
