Unknown Premium mobile charges

Hope this is correct way of getting help/advice! 
My Virgin mobile was charged for 10 unknown messages that were not seen by me and was double my normal monthly bill for 2 months! Virgin didn’t refund me! But asked me to put a ‘cap’ on my mobile! Have not received the bill since the cap! 
Will I be able to get refunds still? That was my Dec and Jan bills! What can I do now please?

    The Phone Paid Services Authority can help to identify and give the next steps.  https://www.psauthority.org.uk/

    They are the regulator.

    The sender will be asked to provide proof you requested the service . If they can't then you'll receive a refund.

    You may find that once you find the details of the company that you recall what it's about
