If you get messages randomly appear like this don't ignore them even though you haven't signed up to anything!

Every time you do you will be hit for £3 and I'm not even sure if sending stop sorts it. They come through on the same day each week and gradually pinch your money. I ignored them thinking it was some sort of scam which is exactly what they want you to do! Really not sure how they get away with this. :evil:

I also got scammed by this a few weeks ago. Managed to do a bit of research and the parent company behind this are called Zamano. I managed to find a number for them, called up and complained and they actually sent me a cheque refunding me and blocking all further texts. I was very sceptical that the cheque would arrive but it did.
The lady I spoke with was very helpful and clearly takes calls like mine all the time. Here is their number 0845 225 2244. I promise you will get your refund and the texts stopped.

I had this and they were charging me 4quid a month. I let it go the 1st time as i thought it was a one off. 2nd time i blocked the number but they still charged me. I txt stop but that didnt stop it so the month after a txt stopall and i have not had one after that.

Discusting someone can just charge you for something you dont want or asked for.
