WTF!

Just seen my Vodafone bill, and at the bottom are two purchases for £8.

Going back through my text messages I received a spam message saying that I've paid £16 for a chance to enter a competition.

Just called Vodafone who wouldn't help, kindly suggested that I contact the 3rd party (i.e the spammer) and ask for a refund, hmmm I wonder how successful I will be there scratchchinscratchchinscratchchin

Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone managed to get their money back?

Sounds like you've been on some dodgy website on your phone! I don't know how they do it.
Haven't we all yes

Should add that one doesn't visit 'dodgy sites on ones phone'

Thanks for the helpful responses, ive made contact with the suggested organization. I will update on the progress (assuming there is some)
