mobile problem

[telectrix]

difficult to describe this problem, but hopefully, someone will know a solution. just had my monthly orange bill, double what i expected. phoned orange and apparently i have been receiving texts from some companies called PAYMO and MBLOX. these texts are apparently to do with social networking and cost a fiver each. now i have not had these texts on my mobile, have never done social networking, orange have given me phone numbers for them, but all i get is answer phones. might get somewhere on monday. cheers, tel.

This happened to a mate, same thing. He called the mobile company and after a bit of arguing these texts he got a full refund because he never sent a text to the scam company to sign up for their service. Good luck Tel keep us informed.

There are some shifty gets out there mate. How does this happen?

orange have said to contact the companies for refund. will see how it goes on monday when their orifices are open.

also have given me the number for phone payplus who are a regulator for these scammers.
