Scammed on phone bill, They added $9.99 +Taxes to my US Cell bill for a grandprize subscription and said I did it on line.  NO WAY
We are seniors and live on a limited income.  We want our money back HOW?

it keeps signing me up for stuff
i did not sign up for
i agree this should be illegal

757-14 is a ringtone company called ringaza. you must have did the IQ test. I have never gotten a call but i get annoying text messages about hollywood and stuff. if you get a text reply back or send a text to 757-14. All you say in the text message is STOP. then they will send u a text saying they wont send u texts anymore.. its a total scam.

This is so wrong in so many ways.  It's something you can't even be aware of until it happens to you!  Two of our 5 lines incurred charges for services never requested -- NOR RECEIVED!!!  We don't even know what it was -- but Verizon paid them --  Verizon wants the money from me!!!

I hope all phone companies are aware and do not pay any company like this again!

I am furious because there is nothing that I can do!  The phone number tells you to send e-mail (probably so they add you to a junk mail/spam list and sell your info) and press # for more help which disconnects you immediately.  The website is "coming soon."

Verizon wants their money.  Can't blame them, but...  They have lawyers and should go after these horrible people.

HELP!  I hope someone is better at this and can resolve the issue!

got these text messages about a year now and i was so annoyed by it, didn't know who they were, i know i never subscribed to their services either, the text comes in with "75714" and uses the name RingAza.  I googled that name and found their site, I have no idea what they are about.  I immediately contacted my carrier Tmobile, and to my surprise they heard of the company.  I called them because of what people said from above that you can get charged for service without even knowing!!!  Tmobile is familiar with this and guess what?!!!  They ran my bill for the past year and saw that I was charged 9.99 four times!!!  They took off 40 dollars for my next bill and "Blocked" these people from sending me texts ever again.  I really suggest people to do the same if they get these text msgs.

Just txt stop to this number or the 757-14 and they will unsubscribe you. i just got rid of the problem.

"Just txt stop to this number or the 757-14 and they will unsubscribe you. i just got rid of the problem."

Well, good luck with that.  I too got rooked by the Facebook IQ test thing that used one of my friend's names to make it look like he requested that I take the test to compare scores, and ended up "subscribed" with no notification of having done so.  I texted "STOP" to 757-14 and was sent a msg saying I was unsubscribed.  But, I have received text messages from them daily despite being told I was unsubscribed.  I have texted them again, again told I was unsubscribed, and received msg the next day.  I went to the web-site to unsubscribe and when I entered my number was told I was not a subscriber, but rec'd another msg the next day.  So, I can't unsubscribed because I am not a subscriber, but I can't get rid of them.

I am calling Verizon tomorrow and will have them block premium texting as it is something I care nothing about.

I will also file complaints with every regulating agency I can think of.  There is a special place in hell for these scumbags.  I have NO tolerance for the slime who profit from flat out thievery, trickery and victimization of unsuspecting honest consumers.  Scott Richter is the man behind it all, and I can't even begin to imagine what kind of morally bankrupt excuse for a human you would have to be to live this way.  Disgusting.

Same old story. I wasn't sure where it originated, but from what I'm reading on this board it might have started with the IQ test on Facebook (I guess anyone who takes it - me included - isn't all that smart).

2 consecutive charges not knowing what it was.  Verizon said they couldn't take it off that I would have to contact company.  The 1-866 number didn't work and wondering if this $9.99 charge will continue.  WTF!!!

Got me tooooooo. So how do you get rid of these guys?

I recieved these charges on my bill, I never subscribed and when I went to cancel the subscription- I was unable to talk to any customer service rep to have it explained to me how they got my information.  I work 10 hour shifts and everyone of the "subscriptions" occured during my work day when I do not use my phone.  These people need to be prosecuted and phone companies need to take responsibility for these scam artists.

I was also billed $9.99 and on my bill it shows the charge is from the phone number 866-616-6076 which is associated with Ringaza. I contacted T-Mobile and they are 1) placing a text block (these type messages) on my phone and 2) are going to contact Ringaza for a refund.  I also called this bozos and spoke with a rep. and had them cancel any account they had on file for my phone. I also asked for a refund as they did not provide me any service for the $9.99 they charged me and I would contact the BBB if they did not. The rep. stated he would refund the $9.99, we'll see....

I got the same message from these Bastards. I got charged 9.99. It's a load of BS. I didn't even enter my number anywhere. I'm 14 but I know what the hell I'm doing but somehow they got my number. My mom contacted Tmobile and there putting a 3rd party block on my phone. Hopefully it works...

Hi Not sure how i got subscribed to this service of getting SMS from the number 30879 and the telephone number given is 1-866-616-6076 and have been charged a weekly fee along.

Can anyone help me in getting rigd of this.

Keep getting texts and charges from 30879 # is 866-616-6067. When I text back "stop" I get a text saying I am not ergistered BUT verizon says that I am being charged by them.
Still fighting for resolution, verizon not much help.

I'm on T-mobile - - all of a sudden I'm hit with a 9.99 monthly charge and cannot get rid of it.

These premius text messages (9.99 each) on my son's phone, too!  twice now........not sure how they got his number, need to know how these charges can be reversed.  what can be done?  there were 571 complaints on another site!!!!!!  some charges were 19.99 for other's phones.  this is a HUGE scam and Verizon won't do anything about it!  how can it be on my bill through Verizon if it's coming from a 3rd party?????  I think Verizon is the scammer!!!!!!!  They're making all the money.  If they don't reverse the charges, I'm through with Verizon!  back to pony & cart days with the phone on the wall at home.  Who can afford such rotten service?  Not I!

disenroll me in anything attached to my cell number.

this is bs!!!!!!!! just got my bill and have a 9.99 charge for a premium service! WHAT!  and the bill reads its for a racing thing... motocity or something like that! so now what! called the number and they said im not enrolled for any service from them. WOWWWWWWWWW  who are these people!!!!  URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I got the same $9.99 charge and called Verizon and they gave me credit and blocked "premium TXT messaging"

Can't get rid of it.  Have been stuck on music for hour.  Verizon won't help get it canceled

Spammed by 866-616-6076. When you reply you get spammed with two more followup e-mails. Can't stop it. Only number that appears is 75714. How come there's no caller ID for this?

Verizon is now trying to address this issue as it apparently has happened quite a bit and the company, which apparently goes by several names, opera ringtones and a few others, is being reported to the bbb. Would be a good idea if anyone that has had this happen to them to report it also.

Scammed is more like it. This so called company advertises FREE ringtones and wallpaper for cell phones on MTV, but there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen that basically tells you that if you receive a FREE ringtone or pickup line you are automatically registered for their service with a montly fee of $9.99. I called the 866-616-6076 number during the early morning, between 8a & 9a and got through to an Service Rep. I told them to cancel the service and had to give them my daughter's cell phone number. Lesson Learned.

Got a charge from this number also... tried to call it and only got music. Verizon is not helping me to dispute this.  They don't help w/ much though.  Has anyone figured out what this is??  I'm not the type of person to download junk from TV, so how could they have gotten my account info??

If you follow the links through ringaza.com to ringtonesutopia.com you'll finally get to the underlying scumbags that are behind this whole mess, an Italian base outfit: dada.net . I aptly sent a web-based email to the co-founder and chairman of dada.net:  

To Paolo Barberis : I am pursuing measures to expose the Italian scam job you think you're pulling through your ringtonesutopia.com site.

I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears, so please help in getting this escalated.

Was hit with the 8666166076 eight times before I received my bill to find out that I had been charge $9.99 a pop...something has to be done, college kids like myself can't aford this kind of thing.

Got a text message saying "RingAZA! Thx 4 UR Club Membership!  New Credits will B ready on 8/14/08 $9.99/mo. Plx. Use Any Remaining Credits B4 then.  Help=HELP or 866-616-6067;Stop=STOP

I've been through this before ... I have ordered NO club membership, and "STOP" gets me NOTHING.  HELP!!!  How can I get rid of this???

Someone scammed my cell phone and I cannot get rid of this account  do not want  CANCEL!!!!

I received three of their texts this month and was charged $30 because I didn't reply. I had no idea what this was until I called verizon. This is wrong and should be illegal.
