For 15/12/06 I had 5 charges all between 8-04 and 8-05pm. for 9/1/07 6 charges all between 2-50 and 2-51pm For February month on 5/2/07 there were 6 calls @ 6-00 each all done at 9-53am and again on the 11/2/07 5 calls all done @ 11-29pm and 1 at 11-30pm according to the billing by AAPT. How could 5 text messages been sent at the very same minute to me or how could I have phoned to 19719737 6 times in 1 minute. AAPT says I have been charged for the above for text messages I received from Premium Text, yet my AAPT bills indicate that I made calls to Premium Text, not text messages to them. I have never ever text messaged any company connected with any commodity. In fact we barely do text messages I only did 1 text message between Dec/06 and February/07 to a totally different number someone I know personally.

I didn't know what the hell was going on because all what my phone showed was that the txts came from a browser with no reply number. I also could not make out what they meant. The money was gone just like that... I called Optus and they told me they could not do anything about it and could not even offer any protection from such scams. When I called Unlimited tones on 1300 303 914 I only found a machine which requested for my bank account details in order to process a refund... Does this scam ring a bell? First a series of txts that left my phone dry, then a machine that requires your bank details!! Does anyone know how to contact these people without getting the automated service on the other side.

But they have her subscribed to their "service" & have emptied her pre-paid card. Optus were less than helpful apart from stating she would be billed $24 if she smsed the 19719737 number with STOP or STOPTONES. Optus also hung up on me when I suggested the Federal Police should be involved & I asked for the "customer support" person's name. Federal Police & ACCC simply referred me on to the usual departments. Any way of finding out the ISP & telephone provider hosting them?
