Blink.com - is a rip off!!! Avoid them

manozuikis

I was charged by Blink.com an enormous amout of money for the texts they were sending me.

This rip off company has started spaming me few months ago. With the first text i send them 'stop', however they still kept sending me texts with random links I was not able to respond to any of those.

Disregarding my stop message they charged me over 70GBP and are not reimbrusing it

I have contacted them and they keep telling me that i have suscribed on to 2 services and cancelled only one. They are a rip off company illegally charging people and getting thei numbers from third parties!!!!

Any ideas what is the best and the shortest way to go around it to get my money back?
