Click bait and scammers

JoanW66 · ‎26-11-2023

Hi all

such a sad day when folks are being charged unknowingly. I only have FB but somehow, l clicked on a website that automatically charges a person for the priveledge.

l did a search in this number 09137662183 and found out it is a scam!

Unfortunately l am not the only person that has been charged and found other users of different mobile companies, have all been charged for Quiz sites that they didn’t know about. I have a spend cap on my bill now as l have no ide how to stop this scam from taking money l know nothing about!!

l did not call that number!! As l explained above, when l checked out the number it was for a quiz site and NOT a phone call. Others from varies mobile networks have been charged for the same thing and, not been aware they had clicked something on a social network site. Makes me want to never go on FB again!! LESSON LEARNED 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
