Hi

KKO has asked us to post on its behalf. MSE doesn't endorse anything a company says on the forum.

To subscribe to KKO Mobile a consumer must initiate voluntary actions utilising their mobile handset, in this case by clicking three times:
1. on our mobile advert
2. on our landing page with the weekly price
3. on the Payforit billing page, on which the cost of the service is once again outlined.
There is no means of subscribing to our service without these 3 positive actions being conducted on a mobile handset.
When you subscribe we send you a free SMS giving you the URL to access the service, and we send an SMS each month to remind you that your subscription remains active plus within the same message, we also advise you how to unsubscribe.

You can unsubscribe from KKO Mobile at any time: simply sending the word STOP to 61973.

Our customer care service is available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, if you want to contact us please send an e-mail to support@kkomobile.co.uk or phone 0845 834 1119.

This just happened yesterday night, I decide to take actions straight away after reading this in here.

T-mobile, Payforit, kkomobile, Watchdog, Ofcom,

Hello,
Complaint about T-mobile, Payforit & kkomobile, Communication and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (CISAS)
Yesterday night while I was at gym I receive this text message, apparently confirming my subscription for that service. I obviously didn't do it ( as I was working out and there’s no way I would have been using my phone at that time)
I went online looking for an answer and I found a forum about KKO Mobile subscribes you when you tap on their little banners on free Apps on your smartphone. As I mentioned before there’s no way I would have done it as at that time as I was busy working out at gym. I sent STOP to the number that appears on the text message, then I called my network provided (T-Mobile) to let them know what had happened and not to let this company to charge me £4.50 for something that I haven’t done it. My network isn't helping nor giving me an answer.
I’ve also found out in the forum moneysavingexpert.com that I’m not the only one, there’s literally hundreds of people with the same problem, people been ripped off for this companies (KKO and Payfor it) and no one says or do anything.
Please Could you please confirm the following.

What is Payforit?

Who is kkomobile?

And Why this two companies are not following the rules that states on Payfor it website:

In order to gain the MSISDN of the Consumer who is accessing the Merchant Service and wishes to
pay for goods / services using their mobile account, a verification “triangle” between the web service,
the user on the web service and the MSISDN of the handset / broadband dongle is utilised.
Two verification options to validate Consumers for web payments are available to Accredited
Payment Intermediaries:
Option 1- MT verification - this requires an Accredited Payment Intermediary to generate a
one-time code for each one-off payment or subscription set-up. This code must be sent by
SMS to the Consumer (after they have entered their MSISDN) who, in turn, needs to enter the
code on the Accredited Payment Intermediary‟s web payment pages to confirm possession of
the handset and authorise the transaction.
Option 2 – MO verification - this requires an Accredited Payment Intermediary to generate a
one-time code on its web payment pages for the Consumer to send-in by SMS to confirm
possession of the handset and authorise the transaction

This complaint has been issue to Watchdog and Ofcom for them to investigate this matter.

I’m also requesting T-Mobile not to charge me or wipe out this charge if its already done, as I’m not going to let someone to still money from me. “It’s not just about the money; it’s about what’s right and what’s not”


If anyone is having the same problem with t-mobile let us know.


We have to stop this people!

How to hit back at KKO

This company is a scam.

If you want to hit back at them financially here is how to.

1) Go onto Google
2) Search for 'KKO mobile'
(There will be lots of options returned but find a Google 'sponsored link'. These are usually at the very top or right hand side in a different colour.)
3) Click on the 'sponsored link' which will take you through to their website.
4) Stay on their website for at least 30 seconds before exiting (otherwise Google calls this a bounce and KKO won't be charged)

This will hit KKO in their wallet as they have to pay Google everytime someone clicks on their Google advert. It's kind of a nice circle that they themselves can fall foul to a similar trick that they themselves use to exploit others.

Google will only bill KKO for 1 click through per IP address, per day counts, so don't sit there for hours clicking on their sponsered links as they won't count.

However if this could go viral, KKO could receive a very large and unexpected bill from Google! So facebook it, tweet it, get your friends to do it everyday at work when they logon.
