88818

I have just had my bill emailed from o2 and was £6.33 over due to this number even though I had never signed up to anything, and will never sign up to anything for this reason. O2 won't give me the money back and I can't get hold of anyone on the 0845 number. Things like this should be illegal.

How can I stop text messages coming from 88818

I keep receiving texts from 88818 JuicyWin.com- please stop these texts!!!!!!!!!!

I been robbed of £18.00. I think it's a joke that someone can send you a message and take money from you. Wish I could have that privelege as I would text them 20 times saying stop. I'm now going to contact watchdog and Ofcom. If enough of us do it they will have to do something about it. It is theft to charge some one for some they didn't want/use and then not give them an acceptable way that works to opt out

Ive had a similar problem receiving from 89320 - I've sent the STOP message and received a "free" mesaage to say they will stop sending - lets see what happens - [***] !

Just found out my daughter has been charged about £17 a month for texts she didn't even know she was getting.  Criminal.  Rang Vodafone and they said it was 88818.  How to get money back - it's been going on for ages without me knowing.

I've just been trying to get to the bottom of this.

Firstly your provider will tell you they can do nothing until you have sent STOP to 88818, if they continue after that they can do something through offcom but not until then.

So send STOP to 88818

Then you have to ask SB7 Mobile the people behind Switch Fire .com who run the number for your money back. Thats easy send an email to help@sb7mobile.com that should get you a response. I also asked who was their overseeing body they said its Phone Pay Plus. If you look at their website and look for the adjudications this company has been pulled up in a tribuneral about the same problem we are all facing, and has been told to refund all who ask for a refund, as they were fined as well. check this link

Please stop calling as I was not told of the exhorbitant cost.

Am sick of having my money stolen by these people. Have texted them to stop but keep beong ignored, it's a nightmare.

put credit on only 4 juicy 2 take it off me ffs no money left 4 callswat a rip off this site

I am receiving messages on my mobile 07866528028 from 88818. how can I stop them? 6 messages in 5 minutes

Had this myself. Phone your mobile supplier only and get them to block texts from that number.

T-Mobile are aware of this scam by SB7 Mobile (juicywin). I doubt texting or calling SB7 will help.

The 'registered address' and 'office address' probably won't help anyone either.

Stop msm me. Cost me and when i try to stop thenumber 88818 is barred! A real scam

Received unsolicited texts costing me a huge amount on mobile. Should be stopped and 88818 should not get away with it. Can't stop it!

just received a text from 88818... tried to reply stop but the text message keeps failing to send? How do i stop it now ? Thanks

Got 3 messages from 88818 this morning, called 0845 8697559, got the number from a previous message.  They say they've removed me but they said I signed up at 8.45 this morning.  They had my name and phone number.  It didn't matter how many times I said I hadn't signed up for anything she was adament that I did.  They say I haven't been charged and nothing showing on myEE app yet, but I'll keep checking.
