   I had an email from Aldi saying I could win gift vouchers. All I did was pop in my phone number and I received a text saying I am now in a weekly prize draw and will be charged £4.50 each week. To stop charges your phone an unknown amount. KEEP AWAY

   I got caught with the same scam. I have text saying STOP but have not received a text back acknowledging my cancellation. Did any of you guys get the £4.50 taken off your phone?

   ive just phoned my supplier and got them to block the number so no more charges just lost the initial £4.50
   I hope this helps you.

   Thank you for replying! I'm about to phone my supplier and block the number.

   Got caught this afternoon. Didn't realise the implications. As soon I understood what was happening, texted back STOP to the number. Then contacted my network ID who were very unhelpful and would not/could not stop any payments to Playawin as they were from a 3rd party. I then contacted the 0808 number and told them to unsubscibe me. They said that they would but would not refund the money they had taken as I had not read the terms and conditions. What terms and conditions? I then contacted PhonePayPus a member of OFCOM and told them. They reminded me not to enter competitions and not give details to anyone. Did not agree it was a scam, just a stupid mistake by me. If lots of people contact them they will investigate. Please contact them.

   I tracked down the German Company Rheinkraft Productions. I e-mailed them about how I was tricked into this scam. They confirmed that I had stopped all further payments and said that they will refund the first payment. They suggested that I was told before I sent my phone number to them about the charges. This certainly did not happen. Try contacting them on

   I now realise that my e-mail address has been passed/sold on to others as I now receive at least one similar e-mail a week!

   I have just been conned for the second time.
   First it was ALDI where we have shopped for ages, at the checkout we were give our receipt and the cashier pointed out we could win £500 of shopping if we went online, after £4.50 was taken from our phone we managed to sent stop to a number and the payment stopped.
   Second was ARGOS who said we had won £500 so I left my mobile number, and guess what the deduction of £4.50 started again.
   Immediately I sent stop to the number on the ARGOS ad,but it failed. Using a reply on this site I sent stop to 66299 and this time I got an instant reply that I had unsubscribed.
   I also emailed [email protected] who are the people behind this costrap.
   I also phoned 08081011157 where an automatic voice took my mobile number and unsubscribed it from their system.
   I feel very upset that big companies such as Aldi & Argos have allowed their names to be included in such a cost trap.
   My advise is DONT enter your mobile number.

   I got caught the same way, texted stop to 6629 the minute I got the message saying it would cost me £4:50 a week but still get these e mails. All go to trash bin now.

   Hi there, I just phoned EE/orange customer service, it took a while to speak to someone, they said they have no authority to block the number and said it was not a scam and is a legit business called oxygen/mobjizz. Search showed that they are assositated with uk phone companies. Not really trusting our phone supplier at the moment. They told us to phone 03333137900 to request an unsubscription. When I phoned I spoke to a robot and then pressed 2 to speak to a human but they are only open between 9am-5pm. Not happy! Hopefully it will be resolved soon. Gonna contact Oxcom and Watchdog.
