88818

Same as everybody else, I signed up to a free prize draw, and gave my number to be contacted if I win, and have since received these unsolicited texts. I have just sent STOP, I hope this will do the trick. Is this legal?

thanks for all the help and advice, I have been robbed for 20 quid! followed advice, rang no and deactivated my mobile.

I receive texts from 88818 in batches of 3 every week which at £1.50 per text is costing me £4.50 a week which I can ill afford.  I have tried sending a text back saying STOP but they still keep coming.  They only show up as one text on my mobile but 3 texts on my bill I have also tried deleting them without opening them but still I get charged. HOW DO I STOP THEM??? Help

have recieved several texts from 88818 dont know how they got my number but have been scammed like this before.

I kept getting these stupid texts and assumed they were left over from a Sky online competition ... until I saw the charges - these guys are worse than politicians and banks! Text STOP to 88818 which promises to stop the texts - of course we've all lost our money with no chance of getting it back. As I'm on JSA - they've taken all my credit on my only link to the possibility of work. Why don't our inept politicians keep this crap regulated?
We pay taxes to protect our society and this stuff is allowed?

I received text messages on my mobile from text number 88818 - JUICYWIN.com for the last two weeks and have been charged for at least 6 messages at £1.50 =£9.00 and possibly outstanding text messages on my mobile but could not put them through as I had no money left on my phone.
I think it is disgraceful that they can text your mobile without you knowing about it. I have spoken to the  mobile provider and they receive a contribution for the service which I think is all wrong. They should put a STOP to this now. I have spoken to Consumer Direct and will need to contact the companies direct to try to get a refund.

please do not callmy number again

Please do not call my number again I have spoken to the Consumer Credit and Trading Standards
