Scam

[Anonymous]

I have received 2 messages from 03332026342 saying - you are subscribed  to iPad play.77win.co/Freeplay for £4.50 per week until you send stop 87066. I certainly haven't subscribed to anything - and they have since taken 2 lots of £4.50 off my balance. I am reluctant to text back just incase it  scams me again somehow? Can anyone advise what to do. In effect they have stolen money from me. Help!!!

Hi @Anonymous

I have googled this number and see many people in the same situation as yourself. You may have inadvertently clicked on a link to win the ipad? http://www.unknownphone.com/search.php?num=03332026342

Some people have been able to opt out of the service by texting stop to the number given 87066

However ...you need to report this to phonepayplus http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/

There's a few of these 'COMPETITIONS' going around. I think they should be banned.

@Cleoriff can you post Adams spam thread. It might help also.
