Prizefun, SB7 mobile Ltd scam

Hi,
I was on my phone try to read a rolling stone article when some screen popped up on top with some silly questions.
I assumed it was one of those nag survey screens you see on websites where you have to answer questions in order to read the article. I answer a few of the questions but the popup would not disappear so I just gave up.

Next thing I know I get a text message telling me I will be charged £15 for 3 entries to PrizeFun.

Thinking back, just before I dismissed the page, I did see something at the bottom in small writing saying click to enter - you will be charged £5. It was in tiny writing and certainly not clear that clicking the answer buttons would make the charge.

I have rang the number on the text message but they refuse to cancel the charges.

Firstly, I did not even know it was possible to be billed £5 for just clicking a single button on a phone browser - no confirmation, no payment details etc. How can I disable this?

Also, any ideas how I can get my money back.

Thanks for any help.
