88888

i bought my 11yr old child £10 credit and within 2 days jamster took £9 off his account. How can I make them refund his back to him

Got a call from 88888 and wants it stopped

Same problem with my son now 90 quid bill. Not happy at all

4 texts to 8888 on my latest Vodafone bill, fortunately so far coming out of my allowance.   Who are they, and how do they manage to initiate calls FROM my phone?
I have asked Vodafone, but no answer so far.
Also paid for receiving texts from 80432.   This should be illegal

After reading these messages, I sent STOP ALL to 88888.   I immediatly got a reply saying I have not service with jamster.   Why does my new windows 7 phone send texts to this number?

The same thing happened to me. I clicked on a link for a wiki and jamster came up. I entered my phone number thinkin it was the wiki and had to ask vodafone to borrow £3.00 because they took all my credit!!!!

DONT TRUST - JAMSTER.COM

Thats agreed 100%

IF they dont get shut down they can hack too many mobile phones

Just got my O2 bill and found three charges of £1.25 + VAT for 3 texts from 88888, 10 seconds apart.  Queried this with O2 and the lady submitted a form to investigate.

Having read these comments I now remember trying to download a 'free' ringtone, and then getting these texts telling me it would cost me £4.50 a week to 'subscribe'.  I immediately cancelled - without downloading anything - but have still been billed for £4.50 by O2.  Why the h... are these scams allowed?!  Surely OFCOM should be putting a stop to this sort of basically criminal activity?

someone help me i got scammed by stupid jamster, if i change my number will it still charge me??

This sort of thing needs to stop!!!!!!!  just checked my bill for my daughters phone, the last 2 months of text have cost me £78....

They are not scammers, people just need to watch what they do? I called them they have stopped it and have put a parental block on her number.

I have received several text from this number. I have replied stop once. I have been charged over £22.

This happen to me too what can I do to stop it?

How can I get the £26 they scammed from me?

I got subscribed to Jamster by accidentally clicking on an advert whilst phone was in pocket. I phoned Jamster directly on 0780 1213186 and they agreed to cancel the service, block my number from further texts and send me a refund cheque. Make sure you speak to an actual person, they can deny receiving texts and emails.
Hope this proves to be useful information.

Many thanks for the posts, I looked at my daughters 02 bill tonight and saw there was over the last three months £15 per month taken from our account.  I sent a text stopall 88888 and it worked.  I also unsubscribed for all other services.  I then rang jamster on 0870 1213186 and they agreed to refund me £27.  It's not the full amount but something is better than nothing.  Please be extra careful with the kids mobile phones as they seem to get scammed so very easily.  My daughter thought the was getting free music.  
This forum is very useful.  Many thanks

Just had a call from +88888, didn't answer! What the hell is this?

Just noticed 3 calls from 88888 within1 minute at £1-25 a time

He probably just did what I did - Googled "free ringtone" and was directed to a webpage to download his FREE ringtone only to find out - AFTER it had been downloaded - that he had been charged.

It's an out-and-out scam that anyone who is looking for a free ringtone can be a victim of. It's not his fault.

I've done some research around this scam, and it seems to go back to 2001!

I find it absolutely incredible that Jamster are not denied access by every mobile phone network.

Thankyou for this i just got a refund, thankyou very much.
