Took 15e of my credit yesterday bombarding my phone with text messages had never subscribed to this service total scam. How are Comreg allowing these thieves get away with this and service providers are telling their customers to contact these scammers to stop subscription and getting refund back from them as not their responsibility is another disgrace.

I didn't even subscribe to anything but I have suddenly been sent a load of texts which i have been charged 2 euro each for them which is scandalous.
I phoned the helpline number which were not very helpful and I had to wait 15 minutes before anyone answered which is another scam in my opinion
They have stopped the subscription at least so they say I am now waiting for a call back to get a refund but I am not going to hold my breath

(briefly)
vodafone custcare say:
text STOP (w/ capitals) to 57976 to stop receiving "premium text"... I say you mean scam text...
They: I subscribed to some premium text (which I didn't) by clicking on some link. I deny this, as its not true.
They say its a "3rd party company they cannot act" and say I must call 1 800 218 081 to ask for refund. Number doesn't work.
Call voda again. I told them number doesnt work. Now they say they try to contact them and then transfer me to them
After 10-12 minutes listening to music they finally talk again... They say "we'll transfer me to them but they will put me on "hold" for "few" minutes as well
now i'm waiting 10 more minute listening: "thank you for holding we know your time is valuable"
22 minutes on phone in total..
blabla speaking, "How may I help you"
-First you can unsubscribe me from the your premium texts for start that I never subscribed. Second You can refund my money that your company scammed from me.
-Ok I can do that for you! (lol, wtf.. he not even deny its a scam)
...
-Ok the subscription is now will be cancelled, I forward your request to the refund department, can take up to 3 days to process
-Ok may I ask where r u calling me from.
-No. First you got my number from some illegal source and start charging me for premium texts that I never subscribed for, now you want my address too? You making some up some illegal database too
- Oh no no, sorry, forget that.
