I received this message about lotto tickets last night apparently you get the first 5 lotto line for free, well it all sounds to good to be true, so have looked up the sight they ask you to for you to claim you numbers, and I have seen other people complaining so im just going to delete them!
So If you get anything from these scam artists just delete it !!!

got text - unable to claim

SO in a nutshell - can we reclaim any of these extortionate charges that have been added to our monthly mobile phone bill ?

Good News
After spending hours reviewing how much money I have been charged over a long period of time,
I have finally received an e-mail saying that I will get a full refund,
as a goodwill gesture !

NB  ALWAYS double check your invoices if you have a contract mobile phone

Lobbytex.com uses 85200 as a text to your mobile phone after entering a competition on line.

They expect you to text back, but in doing so you will be charged for the service.

My avdise, do not respond at all and delete the text then carry on with life as normal, otherwise have money docked from your phone service provider by as much as £4.50 a month

You have been warned, so remember do not respond to "85200 text"

To beat them, dont join them???? and you wont be robbed.

how come you cant get onto their home page as every time i try i get diverted somewhere else, ive tried to stop but cant get through to them, what a bunch of theives

The number 85200 only comes up once you have replied to the texts.Before that it is from 87770!I made the mistake of thinking this was a genuine text & replied So far it has cost me £4.95 & counting for that 1 reply.I have text STOP  to 85200 & they have confimed I am unsubscribed now but cant believe I fell for this scam.I would like to know how they got my number!I,m supposed to be x directory.

This is disgraceful............I lost my language  what to say, several time phoned O2 to stop these  horrible text msg sending and they wanna make profit . they won't stop so planning to sue them.

[***] hell.............it made my life hell.....[***] up

I've been receiving and charged for weeks of lottery numbers believing them to be free. Is there anyway of getting the money back taken from my O2 account.

The conning bleeders have had 30 pounds off me Idid text back twice and both times when I topped up with a tenner they took nearly all of it .Not enough to make an important call I was about to make.

They are abunch of crooks They  send you a text claiming to be a free offer to enter the lottery.Foolishly or not you text back yes to accept in the belief that it is free.Thats it they have you by the balls.however many times you text back saying "stop"They continue to rip you off .Every time you top up they grab it before you get chance to make a call The want bloody locking up its theft by the back door

This text is taking all my credit money on my mobile and I have no idea to stop that and there that came from!! It's frustrating n I just want it to stop!!
