BCH Digital Ltd - Mobile Phone Con?

Hi all, a friend of mine has started receiving texts to her phone that charge her £3 in credit each time she receives one. The texts origiate from 'BCH Digital Ltd' based in Manchester. I have done a whois lookup which doesn't provide any helpful info on their website ownership etc. I do have their address but no contact names. A search came up with a 2005 article mentioning someone called Andy Haig. Has anyone heard of them before?

    Your “Friend” has most likely subscribed to a competition service.
    She should reply to the message with the word “STOP” .. as described in the terms and conditions message that she received.
    This will remove her from the subscription and prevent any future messages.
