I received my cell phone bill today and had a 9.99 charge from b4prizes and I have never even heard of them. I have no idea who they are and have not at any time given them permission to charge my cell phone with anything. I called the 800 number and spoke with a guy named Jeff and asked him to please explain to me why they charged my cell phone with this charge. He stated that it is for bid.com which I have never heard of either. This is a total scam and needs to be reported. I have reported it to my phone company and they were nice enough to credit my next bill with the 9.99 charge.

I just found out that I have been charged also 9.99 since Nov 2007 and didn't know it. My husband noticed that our bill was lower the last 2 months. I called and they said that I had to access some kind of pin # on their web site. I never did! They said they could refund me for 3 months. But Alltel says that they owe me 119.88
Well I see any of this money back?
What a scam....a bunch of crooks! I threaten to call the BBB.

I called them at 800-861-7414 and told them I want them to STOP Immediately or I will start a lawsuit against them.  They stopped it effective today and are sending me a check for the refund.

I just text the 5 digit number that comes in on the text I recieve from these thieves and it removed it, they text back and said that I would not recieve any more text from them. We'll see if that's true next month.

sends me unwanted text.....STOP!!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter signed up on this photobucket like some of you. I guess that's how they got her number. We've called alltel and they have given us credit but say they can't stop this company from billing us. I even asked if I could have her number changed to stop it but they said that number would still be tied to my account. It's a little interesting that everyone having this problem is an alltel customer.

ok. i called my cell provider, altell, about this and they said to send "stop" to 81n30 and they would credit my bill for the charges. hope this helps someone.

Send a text to the 5 digit number on your bill stating stop end cancel  and these will stop per Alltel.

Text that is now charging me $9.99 for last 3 months and won't stop, even after calls and messages from Alltel to stop.

What does it take to get this off my phone bill. This is the fourth month. I had it blocked at Alltel(waste of time), called the 800 number, and still being charged for whatever the heck it is.

I don't know how the hell they got me but they did.  I've sat on hold for half an hour and finally gave up.  I got the text a few times, didn't know what it was or where it came from.  I will call my provider tomarow and they better have some way to get rid of it.

I got a January 08 charge from this company B4prizes of which I had NEVER heard of and called and cancelled it. The girl assured me a refund.  February-same charge. Called again, she said she would cancel.  She would send a refund for February, but could not so anything about the January charge. March-Here it is on my cell phone bill AGAIN!!  I call the 800-861-7414 and talk to the same girl.  She hangs up on me!!  I finally call my cell phone provider and shoul have done that in the first place!!  It is some kind of internet scam and they steal your # as you register for something else!!

Charges from B4prizes - I have three cell phones on my account and two of those three have the same charge.  I have had my cell provider credit the account and tell me I have to remove the application from the phone.  There is no application on the phone. We don't know how they even got on the phones and the internet access applications have been blocked for months and we're still being charged. I'm going to cancel my cell phone with that company if they don't fix the problem.

I have gotten two of these charges also. They send me a text message and it says to stop these reply stop. When you do that they just send the same message right back to you. When I call the number it tells me that I dont have a subscription to cancel. I am not sure how to get it stoped but I am calling my cell phone company tomorrow to let them know about this scam so that maybe they can put a block on this number. I also signed up for photobucket. I am not sure if that is where this came from up I do find it strange.

@ Carla Putans... I had the charge also. Call your cell phone provider. I did and the contacted the B4prizes and made them stop.

i received 2 $9.99 charges on my cell phone from B4prizes, without ever having agreed to anything with them.  I know nothing about what this is, have no knowledge of doing any business with them and have ask them to cancel this off my phone and to refund me the two $9.99 charges, which they are refusing to do.  They would not let me talk to a supervisor and during one call the person hung up on me.  I called back and again was told I could not speak to a supervisor but one would call me back within 48 hours.  Fat chance of that.  I have no idea what the scam is here but it is real so beware.

The # 1-800-861-7414 belongs to B4prizes. The added $9.99 charge to my cell phone without my permission. It happened when I tried to get a free account from Photobucket. A photography site. I call it a SCAM!!! http://www.b4prizes.com/default.html

I Donot wont this on my phone any more,so please STOP send it to ME OK!
