you obviously were given a number that had already been signed up with this fraudulent crap. if you havent already, try sending the word STOP in capital letters or stop, unsubscribe etc. sorry to hear about your loss. It’s happening in Canada too, much the same, but there are really crazy loopholes in our systems for some reason. It’s really a shame. cell phone providers need to come up with policies to help protect their customers
Are you a victim of cell phone “Premium SMS” text message FRAUD ?
Me and my husband did…since last year when I got my new Verizon phone, I started receiving these text messages that I thought were just advertisements for some match-making thing…the texts said something about “soulmate love” and $9.99, but I always deleted those as soon as I received them and never, ever replied or texted back anything. I never thought anything else about it until recently when my husband (who pays the bill online) was comparison shopping the plans so we can upgrade… and he found that we have been charged for over a year for these texts I’d been receiving. I never received any services…no horoscopes, no whatever they are…but we were charged all this time, and it was $20.00 per month and once it was $40 in addition to our normal cell phone bill. He never though much about our bill being $20 more…he thought I’d been texting my Mom a lot (who lives in another state) and he just paid the bills and was done with it. Last December, it was $40 more and he did mention to me about it being a lot higher but I told him I didn’t understand and that I had not been texting her much at all.
So, by accident he found out that we’ve paid about $400 more than we ever should…for services we never signed up for or agreed to !! We complained to Verizon and they eventually credited our account for $60 (they could only go back 3 months, they said) and we filed a FRAUD complaint with them. They also gave us the number to contact the company charging these fees, which is MOBILE MESSENGER, who also used names like soulmatelove.com and MMTXT that appears on your bill. They’re all the same company and my husband researched the internet and found that the man that is behind this whole scam, and who is cheating tons of people around the WORLD out of money and wasting their time, as well…because they have to fight with their service carrier to get their money back, or some of it…he is living in Australia and there have been lawsuits against him in the past or maybe currently, I hope. He is a millionaire now because of his LOW-LIFE way of doing business, because he’s too sorry to get a REAL JOB like most other people ! There are many class-action lawsuits going on because of these fraudulent text charges and we should all be aware and watch your cell phone bills carefully. If you find that you’re having this same problem, DO something about it and complaint, file a fraud report, etc.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT VERIZON WIRELESS AND OTHER CARRIERS ARE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN ??? Knowing that there are all of these lawsuits going on and unauthorized charges…and yet they let these THIEVES continue to use THEM to do their billing !! They must make a profit on the transactions, so they are just as guilty UNTIL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS.
Have you had similar experiences and if so, please share them here on Yahoo Answers…maybe one day we can do something to stop this junk from happening anymore.
Thanks for any input you have !
You can go online to your account to block any messages that come from email or the internet. I was getting a lot of spam messages, none of the high priced ones you did, but enough of them that it was sending me over my allotment. The Verizon rep told me how to go online and block texting. It does not block texts sent from other cells, so you can still text with your mom or whoever you want, although you can block certain phone numbers from sending you texts. Since I got online and did the block, I have received no more spam texts. Leave a note in your details if you need to know how to do it.
Has anyone else been receiving text messages on your cell phone and found out you’re being charged for them ?
Me and my husband did…since last year when I got my new Verizon phone, I started receiving these text messages that I thought were just advertisements for some match-making thing…the texts said something about “soulmate love” and $9.99, but I always deleted those as soon as I received them and never, ever replied or texted back anything.
