SLT CV

I recently received a handful of spam messages randomly from this number, I believe it is a porn site but I have not been on this let alone heard of this ever before in my life
It is costing me heaps of money
Is there anyway to withdrawal these extra costs before I pay my bill?

My daughter keeps getting texts with links and she opened one of them to find porn... the number is 19712666963 I tried calling them but it wouldn't let me. Then one of her friends had a conversation with the pervert and he said he was going to kill himself. So it's not a porn site. One of my daughters friends said it was pics of his ex girlfriend. I think it's just a perverted old man.

Does anyone know this number because they keep calling me

No point calling your service provider.  Sorry but that last dude got it wrong.  Your service provider is simply passing charges on from a 3rd party.

Also you can't have a specific number barred, only all calls so again not sure what he's talking about.

You should though call your service provider, they will be able to opt you out of any subscriptions you may have accidently subscribed to.  This will take 24-48hrs.
You can also either have your number be barred from premium messages but unfortunately you're liable for the charges for up to the next 10 days.
Some people actually like entering the odd competition so request to have a balance put on their service where they can allocate say $10-20 or 50 dollars specifically for premium messages.  Once the amount has been reached they can call and lift the amount or won't be able to use it until the new billing period starts.

I suggest call your service provider, they will give you the number to the customer support of the company you've subscribed to then honestly the nicer you are about the situation the nicer they're going to be.

If you go in kicking and screaming at them like it's their fault, it's likely they're going to say "too bad so sad, you did it, you pay for it" but if you call them and be extremely nice and explain look it was my kids playing with my phone, I'm really sorry this won't happen again please isn't there anything you can do for me, maybe they'll waive some or all of the charges depending on the amount I guess.

But trust me the ruder the person is the less likely I'm going to want to help them.  Bad manners don't get you anywhere in this life.  And besides I bet you the person who answers your enquiry on the phone wasn't being rude to you to begin with so what really gives people the right to be rude to the person who is just answering the phone? They haven't done anything wrong personally, they're doing their job?!?

keep getting texts from this 'HornPub' company. Only happened this week, I just keep deleting the texts...but they keep sending me a text every 2 days and even though i delete it, i just want them to stop all together! Im just scared that even though i keep deleting the texts, is it still costing me? Hope not!

What do these texts mean? Do they mean you have been watching porn? because i havnt been looking at any porn but ive been charged alot for these text and got in huge trouble. please help

I have received several of these scam texts, i have contacted my network O2 adice is do NOT text back like "stop" or "unsubscribe" otherwise this activtes their scam and then it starts costing you, do NOT call the number back and Do NOT click ANY link these scum bags send you. just DELETE the texts and hopefully they will stop sending to you after a while, you cannot block them either!

Hi all, I also received a few of these messages - not sure how or why.  Per message I was getting charged £1.50.  
I also did the same and responded to their text message (number 83900) with UNSUBSCRIBE and called their contact number: 0844 445 7924.  Tried cancelling via the automated service and conveniently there was a fault with the service, so I listened to the options again and left them a voicemail.  
Try sending the UNSUBSCRIBE text first - I think this did the trick.

Just got a text from this number.

Free Msg:It said that 'we just sent a free WAP link becuz this num was entered on our web site. If you didn't request this link, please call 1300764551 Consumer First'

so I serached the number, but the sms originated from 1990 2020.

I got two of those texts, without having subscribed to anything. Very annoyed about it, especially since it seems from other people's posts that I'll be charged for it.
I tried two things, and one or both SEEM to have worked.
Firstly, I replied 'Unsubscribe', and I also called the number they have in their message. I was directed to a voicemail, and I left my number and said I wanted to unsubscribe and that I'd never subscribed in the first place.
A few minutes later I got a text that said:
"Free Message: YP Uncut Videos! is now cancelled. Please delete all WAP links to this service. If you return to the site, you will rejoin the service."
Hopefully that's actually worked, I think I will call my service provider about it anyway - I doubt they'll refund the charge but I want to see if they can block the number from contacting me again.

well same problem and i call it and it does not go to any one it say it put you through but hang up every time... as i don't know how i got it but i think my son was on my phone. i tryed reply stop to the 19741074 and would not send through. then connected to the site and opt out so not sure if that worked..

HI UM I DON,T REALLY GET WHAT THIS MESSAGE SAY AND PLEASE I WANT TO NO WHAT THIS MESSAGE MEANS

I cant seem to get this number of my phone, it sends a link for you to log onto your URL on the phone.  I believe its a porn site.  How do I get it off as its costing me money

I am 13 and i have been getting all these messages from 'horn pub' im really scared because i havent signed up and they said i'd spent 3 quid on some porn. I dont know what it is and i really dont want to get into trouble when my phone bill at the end of the month... Please help!!! What do i do??? I am really scared... I wouldnt dream of ordering pornography. I dont know what is happening and why they have my number. Also my phone has a code to get in so noone can use it. Please can someone help!!!

I just got one thought id clik link to c wtf its porn lol not funny the next msg said id spent$30 i rang got unsubscribed to wat?

contact your phone provider. best to actually talk to them.  make sure you have your phone details and their details ready.  if your provider cant do anything, leave them and fine one that can block numbers.  Ill be amazed if they cant.

Its a good idea never to call or go to the websites provided on these texts.  They can be tricks to give you viruses or cost you more money (like phone sex lines = ka ching!).

Talk to your phone provider!

I have just received a bill for $127.40.  from the phone nos 19902020 and 19932226.  Have phoned Optus and asked to stop.  Unwarranted and never requested.  Says supplier Dialogue and helpline no is 1300 764 551.

My son is receiving text messages from this service and I would like it to stop.  I have tried calling them but cannot get through.  I have also got a bar on his phone which is meant to stop these text messages from coming through but they seem to get through regardless of the bar.

HEY I JUST PUT A MSG ON HERE COS IVE JUST HAD SOME HORNPUB COMPANY SENDING ME MSG'S. HUNDREDS OF SMS IN HALF AN HOUR. GOT CLICKED ON ACCIDENTLY ON MY PHONE AND I CHECKED MY PHONE BILL... THEY'VE PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON MY ACCOUNT. IT IS DISCUSTING AND I INTEND TO SUE THEM AND GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY DESERVE. YOUR POOR DAUGHTER.

My daughter just received a series of these spam text messages and I don't think it is funny nor appropriate that the government, the TIO the Telco's or any other govt agency including the AFP allow these companies to blatantly push this sort of unwarranted and unsolicited porn links onto unsuspecting adults let alone kids.  They need to be knee-capped, might learn a thing or two then.

I have had the same problem a couple of time a week for the last 2 months. I dont know why it started and how they got my number. Has it stpped for you?

So I called the number and they say that its been stopped. If I dont reply here again you know it worked well and if Im back ud know im still pissed off cause it hadnt stopped!

If you call the number 1300764551 you can actually speak to someone and ask them to stop the service

The same number txt me with alink to some porn site... sms'ing STOP dosnt work???

I can't seem to get this number off my phone and it is costing me heaps of money - help!
