Yeah, right. :rotfl:
Well, I won't be complacent, nor ignore the scamming being perpetrated by these thieving companies. I've written to my MP for what it's worth and signed uksal's petition.
When I rang and emailed T Mobile about the scammed charges on my PAYG, I must have stamped my feet/banged my fist, so to speak, very loudly and I was refunded the charges within the hour.
I've also received two more emails and two phone calls since from T Mobile, saying they were sorry for 'my trouble' and that blocks have been put on premium rate texts being received by my phone.
Oh, and was there anything else they could do to help.
I make a point of checking my account online every day now. So I'll be on them like a ton of bricks (as the saying goes) if anything else untoward were to happen.
So my advice to anyone else being scammed...SCREAM & SHOUT VERY LOUDLY at the mobile operator. Don't take 'It's up to you to get your money back' claptrap from the so called customer service call centre.
