Apologies for posting within this forum but I have just had a premium text message that charged me £1.50 to receive. I am posting in this forum so that if anyone else suffers the same fate they can use the MSE search function. UPDATE - it is because of a comp I entered on here

The text was from tonesuwant.com and with a message to stop the texts by texting STOP to 85222. It also listed a customer service number on 08081201926.

I have contacted my mobile provider and they have placed a bar on premium rate services. I then rang the customer service number and the gentleman stated that they had been sold my number by a company that I had entered a competition with. He immediately removed my number from their database and said he will issue a postal order to refund my money.

The second reason I am posting in this forum is that I then received a confirmation text to state I have now been removed from Scottish and Newcastle SMS mailing lists. These run the Strongbow, Heineken, John Smiths and Kronebourg text comps which I have entered and they were listed on this forum.

O no i just recieved my postal order form this b4 and got another today. what was the number you have to ring to get ur money back?
