I have already posted a question asking if this mobile service is a scam. I followed up on the advise given but my daughter is still receiving these texts that debit money from her phone as they proport to be charges for reverse charge calls that she has supposedly received.She has never received any such calls and up to now has lost around £20 - £30 to this scam. I have written to the firm, reported them to Trading Standards, sent reply texts saying stop but they won't stop. Even deleting the text without opening it does not stop money being debited. I rang Virgin but they were a bit airy fairy about the situation - likening it to one of those subscriber services where you download ringtones etc - this isn't like that as my daughter has never subscribed to this service or any other. I don't see why she should have to change her mobile number to resolve this and am determined to fight back. Can anyone offer any further advise please.

Hi thanks for the replies. If you could send me that number that would be great.
I really don't want to have to replace her simcard I don't see why I should have to - but if it is the only solution then so be it. Anyway apparently a service called www.1800mumdad.com.au operates in Australia and appears genuine. Is this UK version a scam that is simlpy copying their format ?

Well if its a pay as you go phone then just dont top up the sim card anymore. Get a new one & a new number!

My dad gave me a number a while back that stops stuff like unrecognised calls or texts and stuff. I'll try and get it for you if i can. Do u want me to just post it as another answer to your question when i find it?
