–Report Unauthorized Buongiorno a/k/a Blinko Cell Phone Charges–
I have been charged for months of this service I have not authorized at 9.99 ea month please stop it
September 3rd, 2007 at 3:34 pm
I have seen the bill and was surprise I have a $9.99. please stop charging me. I do not need this, and I have not authorized this.
October 10th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
I seen a bill and I was suprised after i just tried to get a free ring tone. I do not want this please stop it.
October 10th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Inquiry only to verify my cell phone will receive a ringtone, charged $9.95 immediatley and no response from blinko’s so called customer service
October 15th, 2007 at 6:03 am
I received 2 text messages from 42222 out of the blue on 9/06/07. On my next cell phone bill, I had a charge for 9.99 from “m-Qube 42222 BlinkoClub – Buongiorno.” I have never been to that website, I did not sign up for any service, and I certainly didn’t receive a text message with a PIN number to activate the “account” with BlinkoClub.
I called the phone number listed on this site and asked to have the charge refunded immediately. I want to stress that they absolutely insisted that I had signed up on their website, received a text message to my phone with a PIN, and replied to activate my account. I didn’t do any of that, but they kept insisting that I did.
After threatening legal action via a class action suit, they agreed to send a refund check in the mail. They would not credit my cell phone account.
After that, I called my cell phone company (Cellular One) and requested they give me a credit for the 9.99 charge since I had not authorized anything. They initially told me they would need to contact the company and request a credit from them which would show up on my bill within 2 months. I repeatedly insisted on a credit since I had not authorized any charges to my account, and they eventually did credit my account. I asked to have my account block any outside or 3rd party charges (ie ringtones, wallpapers), but they told me their system cannot block them.
Possibly if customers start insisting their cell phone companies take responsibility for unauthorized charges, they will change their systems.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:58 am
I totally agree with Susan(she also posted on this wall.. I am going to have to do the same thing), I have seen the bill and was surprise I have a $9.99. please stop charging me. I do not need this, and I have not authorized this.
November 29th, 2007 at 9:58 pm

December 7th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
I tried to call the contact number and it no longer exists and Cellular One is the one who bills us for that service so they must send the money to someone!!!

Offers you free ringtones and then charges you 9.99 a month this is rediculous. Shut them down and make them pay.
June 21st, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I dont remember authorizing for ringers and know im being charged 9.99 a month and i got no ringers. Somthing is wrong and i dont even know who 2 contact to get my money back. Sprint just said it aint them well someone is getting my money and im not getting anything 4 it. Im upset because i did not agree 2 this & who the hell is buongiorno: Ringers – Blinko club-rgr
June 24th, 2008 at 2:41 am
this company has been charging me 9.99 a month for about a year now and it won’t stop.I’ve never recieved anything from them other than the charges please make them stop this!
June 26th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Who are these people? Sounds funny they just start all of a sudden billing on a phone account. SPrint should allow us a way to PREVENT these types of texts from being sent to our phones.
buongiorno: Ringers – Blinko club-rgr
July 1st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
What they told me today is anyone can get in, type in your phone number & Service provider, and sign you up to their “club” Even if we REPLY STOP to their text, we get charged the “amount”….
July 1st, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I noticed 3 charges of 5.99 on my bill today. I got the credit from my phone company, but this bill ended on June 10th. Sprint says that it is an IM program and that they have chat transcripts. I requested a copy of them because the user of the phone that it was charged to would have no clue how to do that. We will see if it is him when the transcripts get here. Anyway, Sprint blocked the charge as of today, 3 weeks after the bill was out, so I have 3 more charges on my next bill of this crap.
July 1st, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Yup, no idea what this charge is.
July 4th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Since my last post, they sent another text to that phone. I called Sprint because supposedly this crap is blocked. I got Full credit for any new charges from this crap and actually Sprint was pretty decent about it. Credit where credit is due, they blocked it and filed a complaint on my behalf and gave me credit. I haven’t gotten any more messages, but it hasn’t been a week yet.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
I’ve never authorized this service. Please cancel this service from my sprint phone immediately.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
We were charged 9.99 in May with the description of 42222-Blinko Club on our ALLTEL phone bill. Please cancel this service immediately. How do we get a refund of the charges that were billed that we did not authorize?
July 16th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
I never authorized this service. Please cancel this service from my sprint phone immediately.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
I have been getting charged $9.99/mo for 6 months and never authorized this. I sent them an email and they said they would remove it, but they never did.
July 25th, 2008 at 8:58 am
have been charged $9.99 each month since 2006 for M-qube which then turned into OpenMarket…called at&t and advised them of the issue. they are crediting previous 3 months of charges and the remaining months are going to a supervisor for reconciliation..this is a big time fraud but the person from at&t had NO idea about it nor had her company generated any memos regarding it…inconceiveable!
August 7th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
why are you idiots posting comments asking to stop? Not like blinko will read this site nor will they know who you are if they did read this site, bunch of idiots you are. And yes you did sign up for it so dont lie.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I have had fees for months now adding up to hundreds. I have gotten back most of my money from the phone co. and they were suposed to put some type of block on the account. I just noticed another charge so, hopefully its from before they blocked these 9.99 ringers.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:55 am
I have been on 2 cell phones for this and I did not authorize it. Please stop!!!!!!
September 13th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I had been charged for 6 months before I realized it.
September 16th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I have been charged $9.99 for over a year now with NUMEROUS attempts through both my cell phone provider and Buongiorno. I get text messages constantly from 42222 even in the middle of the night! I never authorized any of this and I need to get this stopped immediately!
September 18th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I too have been charged $9.99 for almost a year. I haven’t even used any “free” downloads that I was “given”. Obviously I don’t understand why I’m being charged for something I never used or even authorized. I hope this “business” gets shut down and no one else will get bamboozled.
September 19th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
I would sure like to know how the $9.99 per month got on my cell bill? I never authorized this and I want a refund pronto. this is wrong to do people this way. Respond immediately
September 29th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I have also been charged for “Buongiorno” by Mercahnt “Open Market”. My bill shows $19.98 for this. I have no idea what it is. I didn’t authorize anything. Stop now.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

October 27th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I was charged for the service and can’t download any ringtones on my phone.
November 13th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I was charged for this unauthporized service for the past few months and I WANT IT TO BE CANCELED! How do I go about doing it?
November 13th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
This service sucks. They have charged my phone without my permission. $9.99 per month for a service I do not want or need.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I rec’d numerous Blinko text messages for months but deleted them as they were vague and I had no interest. I found out today I have been charged $9.99 for 9 months on my Sprint bill for Blinko Club, a service I did not enroll in. Sprint states this is a 3rd party provider and they cannot refund the money, although the charges appear on the Sprint bill.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I have been charged monthly $9.99 in my T-mobile bill, service that i haven’t authorize please “STOP” this service.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I Have been billed for four months by blinko.com. i did not subscribe to this. Remove my number fro your data base.
November 21st, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I have been being charged 9.99 for 7 months. I contacted Sprint and the representative had no idea what I was talking about. She removed one charge and told me I had to figure out a way to get them to stop charging me. I never authorized any charges. I have blocked text messages from the 42222 number but please STOP sending me texts and charging me.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Same as everyone else… Someone’s is gettin’ rich! To bad it’s not us!
December 1st, 2008 at 9:43 am
Surely this is illegal? I’ve been charged 9.99 for the past two months. When I called ATT, they told me I had somehow activated this just by getting an unasked for text I hadn’t responded to correctly–just looked at it, I guess. On my ATT bill, it said Buongiorno :42222#9399. ATT was helpful, thank goodness, and after I’d gotten all upset said they could “dispute” the charges for me (why are they letting another company bill through them without their authorization?) and put a block on my cell so future scammers can’t do this anymore. Now I have to use a PIN if I really do want a game or ringtone. However why are our phone services letting this kind of thing happen??
December 12th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I talked to Sprint store they could not help. I want it to stop $9.99 for nothing. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
January 16th, 2009 at 8:40 am
I called AT&T about these charges, and fortunately they were able to cancel my supposed “subscription” to this service. However, I have been unknowingly paying for it for the past year, and I don’t know if there is any way to get that money back.

May 9th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Same story as everyone else! this post has been going since 9/07!! I can’t believe Blinko has been getting away with this for so long….is there not anyone who can stop this? Are they untouchable? Do we need a class action lawsuite?? This is robbery!
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:48 am
I am being charged 9.99 and another 3.99 a month, no matter what I have done, can’t get rid of it. How do we get it to stop?
May 28th, 2009 at 11:59 am
I only gave out my cell number in order to get a free IQ score. They never told me they’d charge me $5/week for weekly trivia from 93-333! Please get rid of the service, I really don’t want it
June 7th, 2009 at 4:23 am
I got a surprised charge from this sight just this month. I’ve never even heard of this comany before! This is actually the first time I’ve been on this website, I had to google it because I didn’t know what it was! Do not charge my account, I did NOT authorize any kind of charges on my account for this ridiculousness.
July 16th, 2009 at 12:50 am
Everytime I recharge my load of Movistar, Club Blinco eats it all. I only need to use my cell phone to get intouch with my Wife and Kids… I have no work and my five euros do not last m two days because of this Club Blinko…. Why are they doing this…. It´s cheating the public or a highway robbery…. Pls STOP THIS!!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 am
I FEEL THAT I’VE BEEN SCAMED. I didn’t even know I was on Flycell site when I downloaded a ringtone. Didn’t know about the site until I got a charge on my phone bill. I called and was just told there was nothing that could be done to correct the problem.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I keep getting messages from blinko on my pay as you go mobile here in spain. the number is 55050 how do i stop it?
July 29th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I was able to stop receiving messages from Blinko b insisting the telco. company to cancel my 5505 subscription. another way out is to cancel your subsciption. Good Luck to all. In Spain, we call that ” Poner te de baja “
July 30th, 2009 at 4:34 am
I keep getting sms messages from blinko on my pay as you go mobile here in Spain.number is 55050 how do I stop it????????
August 18th, 2009 at 8:36 am

August 19th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
they keep sending me a message, & it´s very useless, please stop becoz my Phone bill is higher ..thank u, more power, I´m here in spain.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:08 am
I called Sprint after reading everyone’s entry. Sprint has an option to block a-holes like Blinko from charging your account. The Sprint representative explained that he’s seen alot of scams like this and that Blinko is the worst out of all of them. I have auto draft on Sprint and didn’t pay much attention to my bill for months and I finally checked for this month and realized that these guys have been charging me 9.99 for the last 5 months. My wife and I have never signed up for anything. The representative for Sprint said these scam artists get your number when you enter it into a website. So becareful who you’re giving your number to. Don’t get scammed like I did!!!
September 6th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Es una manera de ROBAR!!!!son unos sin verquenzas!!!
September 7th, 2009 at 4:52 am
I suspected something was wrong when a simple phone call cost a small fortune.I verified that money was being extracted from my mobile by sms’s from 55050(club blinko).As many as eight a day.I found out on internet that by sending an SMS to the number 5505 with the one word BAJA you can cancel their so-called subscription.Let us unite and jail these fraudsters.
September 9th, 2009 at 10:40 am
since months club blinko is sending me sms twice a day. of course charging on my bill. I tried to send the word Baja on 5505 (spain) but the message does not go out like the receiver has blocked entrances. So – they still go on and I don’t know how to stop them
September 16th, 2009 at 4:45 am
just called Vodaphone insisting to cancel club blinko (other name is Alert) and they desactivated the service.
September 16th, 2009 at 5:05 am
Please ubsubscribe me! I can’t even get to this freaking site. I even dumped my internet service with T-mobile.
September 20th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
stop the text messaging, i don’t have the money to keep paying you $9.99, plus i never authorized you scum bags to text me at all. what the hell’s wrong wit you. ii email your stupid company to stop sending me text messages, you ignore me. i hope you get sued. all of us got ripped of from you get our money back and then some. that ain’t right you crooks!
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:51 pm
There must be a way to get back at these Scam bugs! It´s a way of stealing electronically. I tell you guys, they wont stop. they just keep going and going. For those who use their Mobile Phones for important meassages, it´s a pity. The minute I get a load on my phone! Bingo! they will send me a couple of Stupid messages and “Walah” no more load. They are nothng but “Cyber Thieves” hope they get leached. Shame to all of you Crooks.
October 24th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
My cellphone bill was about 10 dollars more a month than I thought it should be. My service was with Cingular. After about a year, Cingular was bought out by T-Mobile. T-Mobile’s bills are much more detailed, and that’s when I found Blinko/Buongiorno was charging me 9.99 for their service. A service I never asked for or accepted. When I contacted T-Mobile, they took it off my bill for the current month, and told me the only way to stop the service would be to text message them and tell them to stop…when they contacted us again. Since my year of “service” with these scammers was coming to an end, they sent me another message to reply to and I texted them to stop, and I didn’t hear from them again. I did, however, have to have the charge removed again the next month. I keep a much closer watch on my bill these days.

My daughter downloaded a ring tone from these dogs. I’m with AT&T. Their customer service put a block on the the number for downloads with a PIN number and refunded back 90 days.

The same thing is happening here in Spain. Orange and Movistar. There must be a way to stop these Scum Bugs.

I’ve notice this charge on my Blackberry the past two months and I have no idea how it got there or how to cancel it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:42 am
I just noticed this charge on my bill today. I reviewed my bill history for 2009 and noticed 3 similar charges earlier in the year. I never EVER agreed to this – I’m calling AT&T tomorrow.
December 7th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
I got that text too and I replied back to have them “stop”. This was back in September! I just looked at my online statements and have been getting charged 9.99 since August!
December 31st, 2009 at 12:31 pm
please cancel this charge i did not authorize this and i want it to stop.i called my carrier which is sprint to asked them to please block any further charges.
January 1st, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Hi,
I just checked my Sprint acct. today(because I was thinking of upgrading after 3 year) and I have charges from 2008, 2009, 2010 a total of $209.79. I’m going to call sprint right now. I can’t go back further so maybe more charges before 2008. Boy am I mad. I will be keeping my eye on billing from now on.

January 21st, 2010 at 6:29 am

January 21st, 2010 at 6:32 am
if you got the unauthorized charges, you can call you phone company, they will block the charges for you in the next bill. but they are unable to refund the charges from this provider…..
February 1st, 2010 at 12:40 am
Stop sending these darn texts to me too. I have tried to Baja this so called service with just about every number I can find on the net and to no avail. Stop NOW!
February 8th, 2010 at 7:59 am
I just discovered this charge but have been being billed for it for many months. If there is a class action, let me know.
April 1st, 2010 at 10:43 pm
within no time after recharging my mobile, get 3-4 messages and balance becomes nil. I need to stop my using vodaphone mobile service. it is illegal to deduct without the permission. Please please stop it…

I have been receiving Club Blinko text alerts for over 1 year and have just discovered that I am being charged for this. I never signed up for the service and cannot find a way to cancel it…… HELP
May 18th, 2010 at 3:01 am
THE ONLY WAY TO CANCEL IS TO FORCE YOUR PHONE COMPANY TO HELP YOU. THAT HAS BEEN THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET RID OF THIS FRAUD AFTER BEEING BILLED FOR 6 MONTHS.
May 18th, 2010 at 8:40 am

July 10th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
We’re all having the same problem. I just got a notice from my mom that my phone has been paying an extra $10 a month from this crap ass Blinko, and I don’t even know about it.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I live in Spain and I also looked for free ring tones but never authorized repeat charges. I have been billed via Movistar for over 70 euros over the past 3 months for endless service messages from Blinko, Flycel and others I did not request and do not want. I cannot find a way to stop them.
July 19th, 2010 at 6:53 am

September 15th, 2010 at 11:53 am
So I decided to check out my work cell phone bills from the last 3 years. Since I never saw the bill, due to my boss paying it…..well I am now sick to my stomach. 2 1/2 years of charges from this company. What now? Is there anything that can be done?
November 12th, 2010 at 3:31 am
I just recently found out that I have been charged $9.99 for over TWO YEARS for a Blinko Club service I was never aware I had.
November 16th, 2010 at 10:33 am
En mi última factura me han cobrado unos mensajes del club blinko a 1,2€, supongo que habrá sido por apuntarme a algún concurso vía internet. Quiero saber cómo me podría dar de baja. Gracias

I have never used the mobile phone. I don’t even know how to use it. Yet Movistar, my provider, says that ‘Buongiorno my alert’ has taken 9.88 Euros from my sim card without my authorisation. I want their tripes!
The net says: “BUONGIORNO is publicly traded on Borsa Italiana’s MTA Star exchange (ticker “BNG”) and announced revenues for 2009 to amount at €259 million. BUONGIORNO operates with two lines of business: B!Digital for business and Mobile Products for consumers.”
We imagine that the 258 million has been stolen by the means evidenced in these complaints.
Supposedly the CEO is – “Andrea Casalini editAndrea Casalini has been CEO of Buongiorno since April 2000. He has steered the development of the company from a start-up to its current position as the European leader in Interactive and Mobile Services. Prior to taking up his position at Buongiorno, Andrea worked with EDS as president of E.Solutions EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa). Previously, Mr. Casalini was a Senior Engagement Manager with McKinsey and Company in the Milan and Chicago offices, serving clients in several industries ranging from financial institutions to IT services to consumer goods. Andrea began his professional career with Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), specialising in organisation and IT in the banking sector.”
Let’s nail the bastard.

August 23rd, 2011 at 3:20 pm
I have been paying my AT&T bill by having the bill amount sent to my phone. (paperless) I just printed out a bill for the first time in 3 years and discovered a charge for Blinko Club. I did not authorize this. The charge to my account is $7.99 per month. Now I have to go back and find out how long it has been on my account.
September 3rd, 2011 at 4:37 am
I have never authorized Buongiorno service but it charges me every month 2.99€.Please stop it.
September 6th, 2011 at 2:32 am
ive been charged £22.50 this month for a service i have NOT subscribed to and it is impossible for me to have used my phone as i have been hospitalised for at least 6 weeks . if i wanted this service i would of subscribd to it , i cannot understand how this can be allowed to happen and surely it must be a certain type of fraud . if i wished for you to send me such material then i would ask you too , so in future please DO NOT send me this as i am not going to pay for it and if it appears on my bill in the future then i will have no option but to inform the local authority . In the mean time any charges that are shown on my bill i will expect to be forwarded back into my account .
September 22nd, 2011 at 8:30 am
