On Saturday I recieved two text messages from some crazy ring tone company who charged £2 for each text. I have never ordered anything or had any sort of contact with these ZED people before. They had sent a third text but I only had 30p left on my phone so it knda hung up on me. I'm not sure if I should top my phone up or not cos I don't want to loose another load of credit. Any suggestions? I didn't recieve any tones either for my £4.

For future reference.
Don't trust any of these ringtone/logo "companies". Aside from being a phenomenal ripoff, they are well dodgy as you can see. Unsubscribe as soon as possible and try looking for the FREE equivalent of these ringtones online and download them to your phone. |

Ring your mobile company and ask them to block it.

Yeah, block the number. There should be a way to unsubscribe aswell, although it'l probably cost you some to do that too.

If you feel you are being scammed citizens advice might be able to help you out, if you didn't request this ZED service and are getting nothing from it but bills they are breaking a number of laws...
