ParticipantWas happily working away, and my computer buzzes with a message saying “Hi there”… Intriguied, I click on “go to” and am taken to a website with a load of videos on it – called “Mobile tube”… stupidly I clicked on one of the video icons, and get some message saying download failed – I close it all down and thing nothing of it.
Ive just recieved a message saying “Mobile Tube: Thanks for downloading the video clip. Share it for FREE via bluetooth or MMS! In case of any problem, call 08706091720. 150p/vid”.
Ive looked up the number, and there seems to be a shit load of (equally stupid!) people who are having problems with these people – getting £20/month charged to their accounts… I dont want to call the premium rate number, and I dont want to recieve any more of these gay texts… what should I do?!

ParticipantIm taking this is your phone and not your computer. Phone your network provider and explain to them what has happend. My nephew had a similar problem and orange either sorted it themselves or told him how to stop it.

ParticipantI don’t understand how something coming up on your PC means your mobile phone gets charged? Surely you are having to conciously do something that results in being charged money?

Participantturks, you are a muppet. You should know to be more careul. Accept the charge and get rid of it. You deserve to be charged for being a muppet! (no offence, you muppet!)
