88888

jamster..... found that my 10 year old son sent OK to 88888. at a cost of 4.50 a week for 4 text that include download links. he did not download any. i have sent stop to 88888 and hope that stops it.

88888 keeps taking money from my phone... how do I stop this?

Receiving several phone calls daily from 888-951-5125, 888-255-8177

It is Jamster - I spoke with Vodafone
send a text STOP ALL to 88888 and that will unsubscribe you
I also spoke to a very helpful lady at Netsize support on 08082 343605 who tracked the calls and could tell me when my son apparently "subscribed" for this rubbish. She also sent email into Jamster to start process for them to explain to me why they are selling to my 13 year old son without my consent and for me to try and get my money back.

More on this - very helpful lady at Jamster on 0870 121 3186 took details identified calls and when I told her that they were debiting from my 13 year old's phone without my authority - has taken details to send a refund cheque.

The same thing has happened to my 11 yr son (what nice people), I would not trust this Jamster with my details they seem like fraudsters to me. I have been told to text STOP ALL 88888

get a new sim card

what is this number and why is it taking money off of my sons mobile phome?  How can I stop thisand ensure it cannot happen again?

tell him to stop texting them or going on to web pages that he shouldnt he knows what hes doing but dosnt want to tell you

My 9 year old daughter did something similar, she was playing a childs game on the internet when it asked her for her phone number. she entered her mobile number not knowing she was subscribing to JAMSTER for music downloads costing £1.50 per recieced text containing a download link. She thought the rexts were some kind of advertising and just deleted them. I phoned Jamster on 08701213186 to cancel the subscription and they blocked the number to stop it happening again.

the 88888 keep on calling me.... how to stop it man.... it calls few times a day and not talking at all....

Loads of messages from 88888, texted stop, it continued. Now i can't get past the security code, doesn't work anymore.

i too have just realised that on Tuesdays at 13:01 my son 11 gets 3 text messages from 88888 on a vodafone contract.
each text costs £1.50.
this has been happening for quite some time ie 3 months and we have just realised.

Netsize supplies the 88888 short code to Jamster!

google will show you what kind of companies these two are
they both specialize in targeting children

I did this and they said something like, thanks for your membership, weve successfully cancelled your package. By package do they mean my membership?

Nick,
Thank-you for your post. This is happening to my daughter who had no idea she had signed up to anything. Spoke to jamster on the number you provided and they were actually very helpful.Stopped subscription and refunded the money (I hope) .

Texts from 88888 are a fraudulent money-making scam. It is www.jamster.co.uk, you receive nonsense texts from them, and you get billed a fortune for the privelege. Go to their website, get a contact number, make sure you actually speak to someone (don't email or interact as that will probably end up with you being ripped-off even more) and get your "subscription" cancelled. This lot (whoever they are) should be closed down asap.
