March 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
This happened to us too. Out of nowhere they started sending worthless jokes and charging bogus fees to our account. I called Verizon and they didn’t care — said we must have signed up for it without realizing. Verizon refused to credit the charges. This outfit is a scam and I can’t BELIEVE they are allowed to continue operations.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I don’t know who order the ringtones in our household but we don’t need them and I want the ringtones cancel 19.99 a month is too much. thank you
April 12th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I have a question:
My brother entered his number in there. But he claims, that he never entered his PIN. Nevertheless, his credit was soon sucked by those bastards. Haw could they do it without his PIN?
May 11th, 2008 at 6:00 am
I signed up for 500 free jokes. They did send some, text messaging these. Clean ones for the most part, juvenille. However, the deal was to receive the 500 free, prior to being invoiced for the $9.99 monthly charge, as a trial offer. I did not receive the full 500 nor anything like this before they charged me, around $9.99 a quarter, not a month. So, I tried to send the text to STOP these and got a return message that I am not a subcriber to “funmobile daily jokes”.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:29 am

One evening i just decided to look for ring tones, its so long ago now that i can barely remember what i did but i think it was sending them my number for free ringtones. They kept sending me messages saying i could get more and more tones. Today i got a message saying i was subscribed to funmobile polytones club for 4.5 euro a week. I rang them and its in a foreign language. Has anyone any suggestions how i cancel, when i log onto the website and enter my number it says i dont have a valid number.
November 12th, 2008 at 5:52 am
this still dosent help me with my problem i still need to find out how to unsubscribe to ringtoneviva.com
December 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I did not subscribe take me off what ever this is if I receive any charges for this I will take action
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:00 pm
what a scam ,i think we all should all sue this company for billions for this kinda stuff, how do you get off this
January 9th, 2009 at 7:11 am
I cancelled my subscription 2 weeks ago and funmobile still deducts every week. When I cancelled again today I was informed that I’m not subscribed. What the hell is this. This is FRAUD!!! So P off!!! What am I to do to stop these bastards??
January 11th, 2009 at 11:29 am
My son just notified me that he may have accepted some sort of daily text to my phone that I will be charged for. I had tried to deacivate it, but they gave me some crap that they could not do it at this time. Now listen clearly “YOU WILL DEACTIVATE IT RIGHT NOW WITH NO COSTS TO ME OR I’LL FIND SOMEONE TO SUE PRETTY DAM QUICK
January 19th, 2009 at 3:10 am

I’ve been receiving these stupid texts for almost 3 weeks now. I remember Answering questions on a pop-up, during a survey I was taking. Ever since I get these texts. Only today did I realze I was being charged $4.99 a month. I just texted stop and received a text saying I would get no more. I guess these sites get you even when your looking for the BS.
May 18th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
i better not see these charges on my phone bill
June 20th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
i just did this iq quiz and it tricked me to subscribing
June 20th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Did an IQ test and then discovered that every day it sends an “IQ question” text message for which it charges me 2o cents a day
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:14 pm
What B.S. take a simple I.Q. test and I lost over 50.00 on my go phone! Tell me how to get my money back!! I didnt even use their service! Thats theft!!
June 28th, 2009 at 1:20 am
I never sign up up and never make tests.
I’m never charged.
It seems people are stupid.
Do you think everything is free????
Read the terms and don’t be folish.
Children are given cell phones and it’s the parents responsibilty if they sign up.
You can’t be charged for those services if you only use your phone for it’s main purpose.
It seems the IQ level is very low.
July 28th, 2009 at 5:04 am
I received an IM from a friend that told me to check out a video on YouTube. I get there, and there is a message that says the video may be for a mature audience, and that they verify age via cell phone #. They asked for my number and cell carrier. They then text me a pin #, which i was supposed to input into the YouTube-looking site. After I do that, nothing happens. A minute later i get a text message saying thanks for subscribing to mobilefunster for 9.95 a month. I just sent them an email to see if they will reverse the initial charges. if they do not, i will take it up with my carrier.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I just went through the same thing as Michael. Bogus text from friend. Typed in phone number, received text. Tried to unsubscribe to the Polytones club as listed above and received a response that i am not subscribed. So i’m not sure if that worked.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Hey Alan – i emailed the care@ email address listed in the text messages and had a fe exchanges with a guy named Alex Phoon, who at first refused to refund me the initial 9.95 charged and then finally agreed to via paypal or check. So hopefully that will all come through as promised. in the meantime i will still be reporting these hucksters to the online BBB: http://www.bbb.org/online/
This is the kind of stuff that really sucks about the internet. A few really bad apples….
August 9th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Mobile funster is evil and duplicitous. They hacked into a friend’s IM account, spammed everyone on her buddy list telling them to enter their phone number into a youtube video. Then everyone who entered their number was fraudulently charged $9.99 on their phone bill. This company is criminal!
August 26th, 2009 at 10:54 am
this shit just happened to my grandmother. i called them, they claimed they were located in AUSTRALIA of all places, REFUSED to get me to a supervisor, because they do not give refunds, and FINALLY when i got a hold of a supervisor, he let me know that they DO in fact give refunds but he was not going to give me one because he didn’t want to and i should have called sooner when my grandma first signed up. i explained she never signed up for this and they said well obviously she did. i said well no, she didn’t and i want a full refund. i went back and forth with this fucking idiot for 45 minutes and he CLAIMS he will send her a check for the full amount. these bastards need to get the shit sued out of them and we all need to be HUGELY compensated!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I dont know HOW this stupid cell phone company got my number but i want the money taken off my cell phone credited IMMIDIATLY!!! my father is a lawyer and this is completely illegal! i want a response in 12 hours the me or else i WILL take action further!!!!
October 1st, 2009 at 8:13 am
GUYS i have emailed Carte Blanche to investigate!!! send me your email addresses to if anything comes about then i will show them JUST how many people cannot wait to take this service DOWN!
October 1st, 2009 at 8:44 am
Just saw a $9.99 charge popup on spouse’s account. She says she didn’t authorize anything but I think she might have done the IQ test online that people are subscribing. I am calling Cingular tomorrow as it appears there is a recurring fee they are going to charge. If they refuse and take the old 3rd party excuse… I will payoff my Cingular bill and get service elsewhere.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I got charged $9.99 today for a ringtone and wallpaper thing that I never signed up for. I called to have it cancled and the guy that I talked to said that he could not give me my money back and told me to use up all the ringtones and then text stop to 22643. I thought this might help some of you but you are right on here we should sue the damn place. This is bull SH*T. Where do they think they get off buy doing this? This is a new number too and I am going to bet I am going to have to shut it off and get a new one. If I see this on my phone next month I will sue.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
I did not sign up 4 dis and i dont know how dey got my number but dey took ten dollars off my account so i need to get some ringtones or theres going to be a problem.
November 21st, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Please stop sending texts. It costs me $9.99 every time
December 15th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I did not sign up for this and I got a text from this website and it took 9.99$ off of my phone I would like to be refunded
January 20th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
I understand from AT&T that someone browsing online may be requested to answer a survey. If they enter your cellphone number and you will be charged. You must call your provider and tell them to cancel, block and then refund the charges.
February 12th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
The Funmodile/MobileFu is still charging my phones and robbing my money. What is registration # of this company? Who sued this company? any result?
February 24th, 2010 at 1:13 am
I to am being billed for something that i did not order I am pissed and it better stop!!
March 1st, 2010 at 6:51 pm
I use Sprint and this charge showed up on my wife’s cell phone bill. Luckily Sprint was quick to refund the money and block the service from starting again on that or any other line on my plan. It really pissed me off that this company was able to start sending me a bill even though we never agreed (or in this case even knew about) anything.
When I talked the Sprint representative I asked if there was a way to block this from happening again and she told me that if I do that then the only place I can get ringtones from is the Sprint web-page which is fine with me. If you don’t mind being restricted to the Spring store for your ringtones this can be a good way to have peace of mind that shady companies wont be sending you unexpected bills.
March 8th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I recieved a bill from my Cell phone company for almost $300 for services i new nothing about on a phone that doesn’t even have internet access. When I call the provider i have to give a password and answer a secret question but you will let someone bill my phone with no proof, PLEASE!!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Sure enough, received $9.99 in the T-mobile bill, for nothing of course.

March 15th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
I suddenly received my AT&T cell phone bill and it had a $19.99 charge for Mobile Funster.com.
I contacteded At&T to find out what this was for and they told me that I have suscribed to this account. I notified them that I had not done this and that it was never authorized by me. It was illegally placed on my phone and I wanted it stopped immediately. I was instructed to contact the company directly to cancel this program, which I did. AT&T told me that since they had all ready paid the amount to Mobile Funster that I would have to receive a refund from them but AT&T could not give me a refund. When I contacted Mobile Funster I was told that they could cancel the subscription but any refund would have to came from AT&T. Does this sound like a run around to you? Are these two companies in this together to cheat the general public out of money for bogus “authorizations”? I think so. Neither company wants to take any responsibility for their illegal actions and neither is willing to give any type of refund. Is this a set up and a little under the table money dealing? Sure sounds like that to me. I suggest that we all get on the internet and spread the word about this crooked company and it’s underhanded dealings. The only way to stop this type of crooked business is to do just that – PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS! Join in the fight to stop companies like these!
April 6th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Charge showed up on my AT&T bill. I didn’t order this service. Not sure how it got there.
April 11th, 2010 at 9:49 am
These charges are suddenly appearing on my account. They NEED TO STOP.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I NEVER AUTHORIZED FOR THESE CHARGES. I NEED TO GET REFUNDED IMMEDIATELY
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:03 pm
$9.99 for IQ Quiz, $19.99 for MobilefunsterInc.com
I was never told about these charges. I will be on the phone, angry, with both companies at the start of business Monday.
April 24th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
I don’t even know what the hell this is and I got charged 19.99 for it I will not pay it so it needs to stop showin up on my bill.
April 27th, 2010 at 3:22 am
I just received my AT&T bill with the $19.99 charge for nothing I ordered. This is so wrong. I have contacted AT&T and will see what happens.
April 28th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
i just received my AT&T bill and saw the charge for 19.99. an order was not placed for this…what a scam!
April 30th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Noticed my AT&T bill is $30.00 higher this month. Found 2 charges made the same day. One for $19.99 for mobilefunster.com and the other for $9.99 for RingnRock_Rintones thru MBmobile LLC. Don’t know anything about these charges. Heard AT&T might adjust and deactivate. Damn thieves, can’t trust anyone anymore!
May 4th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
same thing happened to us! $19.99 charged to our AT&T phone bill. Was able to cancel online. Although we were charged a pro-rated amount. It is a subscription charge, so we would continue to be scammed every month unless we noticed it. Not sure how they did it. Makes me nervous about our phone number posted out there. Think i am going to have all my phone calls filtered thru Google Voice first. Don’t know if that will help much, but would limit the number of times my cell phone number is posted on job sites, etc.
May 6th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
I got a text message and ignored it but I was charged $9.99. I never even downloaded anything.
May 8th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Did not consent to any membership.Need MY MONEY BACK ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
May 9th, 2010 at 9:50 am
Just got the $19.99 on our phone bill for our son’s number. He claims he was just filling out a “survey” and entered his phone number there. Never got anything!
May 9th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Stop sending me stuff and refund me NOW!!! bull*** site
May 12th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
i never accepted anything from this site ,please stop the billing I will not pay you a dime since I never authorized any payments to your service.
May 14th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Oh my god, how can you sleep at night, you are stealing from people and it’s not fair this is Bull Sh** I don’t even know how your company got my information but someone better take care of this BULL SH** Stop billing me for this Sh** I will take you your company to a Small Cliams Court. Please go get a real job and stop stealing people money. One day you will have your judgement day.
May 14th, 2010 at 11:00 pm

May 19th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Hey i did not subscribe for anything on this site but i got a bill of 19.99 , remove it immediately .
May 20th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I did a test that a friend said to take online come to find out that friend wasn’t online so they stold her password then at the end they said I had to buy the service to get my score. It’s a rip off and they are stealing passwords to get people to do it which is against the law as far as I’m concerned. I better not get charged.
May 20th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I filled out a quiz online and was slammed by these cell phone scammers. I don’t want to be charged nearly $40 a month for something I do not want or need.
May 23rd, 2010 at 3:51 pm
I filled out a survey and got 2 charges on my cell phone bill one for 9.99 by Predicto and a 19.99 one from mobilefunsterinc.com this is total bullshit this is a full scale scam an I don’t know who to contact to cancel these a actions. Please help
May 25th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
THIS IS A BIG SCAM BEWARE BE VERY AWARE!!!!!!
May 28th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Please stop this. I was tricked into taking a quiz.
May 29th, 2010 at 1:12 am
i was charged 6.99 on my cell bill for services i never signed up for and i want them reversed and never want it on there again
May 29th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
I was charged 19.99 on my cell bill for services i never signed up, i want them returned and never want it on there again
May 31st, 2010 at 11:28 pm
i havent even gone on that website and i have been charged $75
June 1st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I was charged 19.99 for my bill from MobileFunster Inc. that I never heard about.
June 1st, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Charged 19.99 for monthly subscription of which I never agreed to. I have never purchased ringtones, text alerts, games or music for my phone.
June 2nd, 2010 at 9:03 am
I clicked on the link of “Make Babies” and asked to enter my phone # so I can receive a pin to get my picture. I entered the pin and then got a text saying thank you for subscribing…You guys are a bunch of frauds and can’t believe how you can sleep at night knowing you make money by ripping people off.
June 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I did one of those online surveys. There were several spots where you had to have a pin number sent to your phone and entered in the survey to continue in the end I found that I had “subscribed” to two ringtone services, playphone and ringtonehot.com. I put subscribed in quotes as I stupidly did not read all of the fine print when I entered my phone. I did want such services and cancelled immediately. Unfortunately, I will be billed 37 dollars for my mistake. If you are tempted to answer an online survey DO NOT DO IT!! It will cost you in the end!!
June 2nd, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Keep getting text messages, NEVER signed up for this. And phone calls.
June 3rd, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I do not know how I managed to get charged for these, I never said they could charge my phone…I texted them to stop…had to call phone company and they cancelled them. Thank goodness! I’m in for a lawsuit!
June 4th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
When I got tricked into signing up, I automatically sent a “Stop” to the number they supplied. And yet, it showed up on my bill. Now I have to figure out how to get it fixed.
June 6th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
We did not sign up for this and it suddenly appeared @$20 a month on our bill the same day another $10 a month charge showed for a Spanish chat program called Muchachat (we don’t speak Spanish, so no chance we signed up for this either).
June 8th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Idid’not ask or order this.It’s not right, I was billed for two months for something Idid’not order.So reinburst my acc.for two mounths,that you billed me.
June 9th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Same thing happened here. I suddenly have $19.95 on my cell phone bill, no no way of getting it back after argueing with mobilfunster on the phone. I never asked or ordered it either and I’ve already got calls on the next month. I’ve blocked it starting today.
June 14th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
okay cancled service….. I didnt ask for it… so yeah hope it works because 10$ a month for nothing isnt worth it!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
I got charged from ATT for 19.99 from Mobilefunsterinc.com which I have no idea what it is and I have never authorized this. In order to stop this based on ATT website it says text message to whatever the number that I subscribed to with the word “STOP”.
June 16th, 2010 at 10:31 am
I have AT&T and a $20.99 charge from “mobilefunster” as well as another monthly charge from another similar scam showed up on my bill. I called AT&T and they refunded both subscription charges, no questions asked. The woman I spoke to said it happened to her on her previous month’s bill, and she even knows better because she works for AT&T! So they got her too… She told me it is very, very easy these days to enter your phone number somewhere online that seems legitimate but ends up subscribing you to these txtmsg scams, and warned me to take extra caution in the future.
June 16th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I called and cancelled the service I never used and by chance found out I was Suscribed to with out my knowing. All because I answered a question on the internet. I hope that Mobilefunsterinc.com really does cancel the subscription since they are txtmsg scammers.It’s hard to trust a company like that. My phone bill is outrageous now and this is the 2nd time I have been billed for a txtmsg scam. AT&T were great about removing the 1st charges but I am not so sure that they will a second time. This company should reimburse AT&T and myself for these bogus charges. I will be more careful in the future and make sure my family is as well.
June 17th, 2010 at 6:32 am
Please refund the the unauthorized charges of $19.99 for my phone bill. I have notified AT&T, they said you have to refund the money.
June 18th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
It seems to me that this problem has been going on for some time. Phones have a National Do Not Call List. When will we get a National Do Not Text List. I would think that companies like AT&T would be all over this type of bogus charges that are costing them time and money and maybe even customers.
June 19th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
can u cancel my funmobile subcribtion it sucks
June 21st, 2010 at 11:47 pm
I was charged 19.99 on my cell bill for services I never signed up for, I want this charge removed and I don’t ever want to be contacted again
June 23rd, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I did not order this on my phone and do not want to see it on my bill again.Stop adding to my bill
June 24th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Noticed a charge of 19.99 on my cell bill for something I never signed up for. Called AT &T who said they would remove the charge. How does this happen? I have a data opt out on my account so not sure how I could have downloaded or consented to anything. What a scam! MobileFunsterInc will be reported to the BBB. This company needs to stop scamming people.
June 24th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Received a text stating THANK YOU for joining. I never joined. A text came thru with a 5 digit code, which I immediately deleted. My Sprint bill is now being charged an additional $9.99 per month. Since I cant get through to this SCAM of a company – ended up cancelling thru Sprint. SCAM SCAM SCAM.
June 25th, 2010 at 9:22 am
jave games are so cool eventhough they do not have fancy graphics.’.`
June 30th, 2010 at 5:09 am
Charged my phone bill without ever subscribing or using their service AT ALL!!
June 30th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
My daughter was sent a text, supposedly from a friend, that was really a sign up for $49.95worth of ‘services’ she never ordered. I have called and cancelled them all, and she’s working off the charges (largely because she needs to learn a lesson) but if it shows up on my bill next month, trust me, I will not be nearly so nice. I am NOT happy.
July 2nd, 2010 at 1:55 am
I am recieving a bill of 19.99 every month which I never subscribed for.
July 6th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
what a scam. i got my US Cellualr phone bill & this palce charged me 3 different times for something we did not sign up for, got us for $27.00 in one month. I went US Cellular to have them explain what the charges were for, & got “its third party billing & we can not credit you” ” you have to call the number listed on the bill to find out what/why the charges & ask them for a refund. The repreentative that spoke to me was rude & told me someone subscribe for it, which I know is a lie. They finally said they would cancel it, but not before arguing with me & threating me that they would hang up on me. I was polite but up set that they would not refund me the money or give me any information about the charges. They told me they cancelled me, but I worry woth all that I have read, it appears this may not happen. I am going to contact US Cellular customer service & let them know I was told that the subscription(s) had been cancelled i am not authorizing any subscription to third parties & if they pay any & charge me for it, I will take action against both companies. BBB should be notified about this scam & be stopped immediatewly. Makes you not want to have cell phones, let alone trust the cell phone companies if they are going to let these kind of things continue with all the complaints from customers I amsure they get.
July 13th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Talk about a scam, I had this phone since May and been charged for something I didn’t order, I figured the first bill maybe my daughter did do something I didn’t know about but I am still being charged and I canceled these programs using the codes they gave. Thanks AT&t for letting this happen and not helping.
July 14th, 2010 at 11:34 am
WTF!! my son got a text from mobilefunster, ignored it because he didn’t want it…now a more than a month later I see charges for it on my bill and because it went a couple of days into the next billing cycle I gotta pay for another month? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Who is doing something about this the BBB or …? Why doen’t department stores like Walmart or Target start delivering random products to our doors and charging us for them on the in-case we might want them? …absolute BS
July 14th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
charged $19.98 for the last 2 months for funmobile and mBox services – I’ve no idea what they are. I never authorized them to charge on my phone. How do I get refunded and stop them from charging me!!
July 16th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
i get yelled at for no reason cuz of some stupid asshole who keeps charging my phone with this shit…if i knew who u were u would be in jail right now..u fucking worthless piece of shit..go find a job like the rest of u..not sitting and textin ppl and gettin money…
July 17th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
These people are thieves, but the sad thing is that AT&T allows this to happen on their cellphones. Just had a serious talk with AT&T about it and they said they would reverse the charges. If I have to call every month, I will just get a new number for a $36 fee. If it happens again after that, I will stop using AT&T. They should not condone theft on their cellphones. They have an obligation to stop this.
July 18th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I just found out that this company has been charging me for services I don’t use, and have no idea as to how I even signed for it, for the last 6 months. The real kicker is,I ask for a refund and I get a scripted response of “we are only able to give you back 3 months”… I say, so you are reading that, and if you have been charging me for 12 months, I would still only get three months back? His response was “Yes”!! I’m turning this company in to the BBB, so I hope that they are registered with them…
July 20th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I was charted $19.99 per month for two months while I never subscribed to any service, neither did I receive any service! Called the company number to cancel it but they said they cannot refund!!!
July 22nd, 2010 at 2:19 pm
was charged 19.99 but never signed up for the service will not return my call to unsubscribe
July 26th, 2010 at 7:06 am
I received 3 charges for 9.99 on my cell bill from these people for what I still don’t know, they should not be allowed to do this and how they do it is a mystery but even tmobiloe took up for them, this is a scam
July 26th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I was charged 19.99 and never signed up for anything!
July 30th, 2010 at 10:18 am
I did not order this stuff so I want this stuff off of my bill! Asap
July 30th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
I am reporting this company to the Attorney General. I received a text regarding a post on my Facebook from these idiots.
August 1st, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Tried by E-mail and the text directions at the top of this website to stop these charges – got a response back that we are not a subscriber! But got July’s invoice and now there are 2 charges for $9.99 from Mobilefunster instead of just 1 charge.
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:43 am
Certain text messages that are received and opened are charged to subscriber, unknowingly even if they are opened and you don`t reply to stop you will be charged or automatically signed up for services through your cell phone provider. It is all bull because At&t is allowing third parties to send text messages to customer`s phones, that if not relied to can have you paying higher cell phone bills, like me i have been w/at&t for 4yrs and their billing is the worst yet.
August 2nd, 2010 at 3:40 pm
i wont these charges to stop i just noticed it i think you might owe me a check you are unauthorised
August 3rd, 2010 at 11:19 am
i did not order i want it to stop i think you owe me a check stop this now you are unauthorised
August 3rd, 2010 at 11:20 am
My mom and I just went over the phone bill, and this site charged me $19.99! I don’t even remember ever going to this site! I want to stop the charges to my cell phone NOW!!! How do I stop it?
August 4th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
I was charged 19.99 and never signed up for anything!How do I stop it?
August 6th, 2010 at 12:44 am
Charged $19.99 last month for this service, did not sign up for it. We called AT&T, they removed the charge and said the service was cancelled. This month is it back on our cell phone bill again!
August 7th, 2010 at 8:51 am
Don’t know what this is or where it came from all I know is I am being charged 20 a month for NOTHING!! I do not have ringtones and do not get horoscopes…bogus…needs to STOP!!!!!!!!
August 7th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
This is definitely a scam and we’re on the phone with them right now. They are claiming someone entered our telephone number at ringtone.com online and they sent a password to our cell which was not responded to by a certain time. You need to contact your cell provider, ours is Sprint and they can put a block from this company calling/texting your cell. Unforatunately your carrier can not reimburse you
August 9th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
I sent a stop text 6mts ago and it was suppose to stop it. But it doesnt. ya keep renewing me. Well Ive decided since the stop text dont work, Ive decided not to pay it. Ive instructed ATT not to put it on my bill anymore. So ya do what you want, but its not getting paid anymore. Talk to my lawyer
August 10th, 2010 at 12:58 am
I had 2 charges for $9.99 taht I did not authorize. This is a complete scam. Why are these people still operating. These posts date back to 2007!
August 10th, 2010 at 10:39 am
iam in the same boat dont know wear this came from but would like it to stop please
August 10th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Just discovered this ‘Funmobile’ charge going back to last summer, every month for $9.99! For providing absolutely nothing. Unbelievable, this kind of cheating should be ILLEGAL.
August 11th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
I got a call from my cousin saying I was charge from this site 19.99 dollars for I dont even know. I had to come on here to see what the heck it even was. I have not signed up for anything and did not give anyone permission to charge me for anything. I have no extra service on my phone that I have been using so please stop charging my phone.
August 12th, 2010 at 12:55 am
The real problem is that the mobile carriers allow unauthorized access to our accounts. They should all be required to reimburse these charges; fraudsters like this should have no means of gaining access to mobile phone accounts without express permission in writing by the subscriber. This outfit is still raking it in, years after we were defrauded (just like everybody else on this board). They are scraping mobile phone numbers from other sources and then stealing money from the victims’ accounts. I can’t BELIEVE that the carriers allow this to continue, and that the Attorney General hasn’t already crushed them.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Please file a report at http://www.fraud.org if you were scammed by Mobilefraudster.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
@Theresa: this is continuing because everybody is just posting here and not filing formal complaints with law enforcement. This is fraud, plain and simple. File complaints at every outlet you can find. Start with the fraud.org site that I posted previously, then also file with your state Attorney General.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
BTW, this is also going on because the mobile companies are complicit in the scam. It should be considered a violation of federal privacy laws for mobile carriers to grant access to a mobile account without express, written consent from the subscriber. Nobody in their right might would EVER subscribe to this crap on purpose; they have to know that. My bet is that each mobile carrier gets a kickback from Mobilefraudster.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I was charged 19.99 on my mobile bill and I have never used this service and don’t know what it is.
August 14th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Never signed up for this stuff, never heard of it…and am being charged $19.99….no way !!!!
August 16th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
l was charged on my cell phone from May-August and l have never been to this website. When calling they said there was nothing they could do but refund August and July. l asked to speak to a manager and he was worse than the lady l spoke to before. His name was Sean employee number 15 and this is a total SCAM! They rip people off and hope that one day someone sues them for taking peoples money without them knowing!
August 20th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
nice way to charge crap that i dont or anyone else on this forum wants by not telling us!!
August 27th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I never ordered it to begin with but it showed up on my bill!
August 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
same thing — monthly charge of 19.99 suddenly showed up on AT & T cell phone bill – we did not subscribe to anything.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:25 pm
Ready few complains from above, that company seems to live from scam !! i accidantly fell into a bill without getting absolutely no messages on my mobile .I also found us even charged for another service that costs $19 Too Lazy LLC

shameieh@gmail.com

September 4th, 2010 at 2:12 pm

September 4th, 2010 at 3:34 pm

!!!! So why have I been charged !
September 4th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Found a job post about a Dental Assistant. Got a reply about the job in 7 hours later.. Sounded a little to positive but asked if I take an IQ quiz and print the results to bring to the office when I schedule an interview through email. I take the quiz and it asks for my phone number. Nothing was said about being charged until you agree to the terms and conditions. So I enter my phone number thinking I will get the results and get an interview! Unfortunately, when you give your phone number, it already has you signed up I believe.. However I sent Stop to the appropriate AT&T reference number and looked for a website that proved this was a scam. I found THIS SITE and CALLED AT&T and REPORTED the Scam.. The rep told me that my account would be safe from any unauthorized charges.
September 5th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
My bill had 3 unauthorized charges ths month. MobilefunsterInc,cinm, Too Lazy LLC and MobileFirst Ltd.com. 2 on my sons phone & 1 on my daughters. Neither had ever even heard of these companys/services. This is just SO wrong!
September 6th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
I received my AT&T cell phone bill yesterday and there was a charge on 8/7/2010 for $19.99 from Funmobile that I never authorized. I called AT&T and they reversed it, as well as a second charge that they could see charged on 9/7, that will show up on my next bill. I’ve now added a purchase blocker to my cell phone account, so that this cannot happen again. I have to enter a secret pin number before anyone can charge anything to my cell phone. I recommend everyone check with their cell carriers. How can companies like Funmobile get away with this? Isn’t it illegal?
September 12th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
mobilefunster has been charging for 4 months now. i didn’t realize till today because it was my husband’s and we’ve been on autopay and paperless bill. he said he’s never accepted or put PIN # that mobilefunster kept telling me that someone would have put PIN# to accept subscription and they have the proof he subscribed by doing so. SO DAMN!! i’ve gotten two other companies had done the same but they agreed to refund all back to us. watch out for “mobilefunster”!! they know what’s coming and how to deal with it!!
September 13th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I was applying for a job and the requirement was to register at an specific website where you did some sort of exam. It required you as part of your application to submit your cell phone number. This is the worst scam because it prey’s on people looking for work!! and exploits and further complicates the economy of people in dire need. If there is a lawsuit for muchachat please let me know
September 27th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
just looked at my sprint bill and i seen getting charge extra 10 bucks a month cause a chick of mine used myphone one night in July I REMEMBER I CANCELLED EVERYTHING NO MORE MSGS.. DONT GET MSGS BUT SEEN IM GETTING BILLED… EITHER THE SHIT GET TAKEN CARE OF EITHER THE COMPANY OR HER..!!! VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY UNHAPPY… STOP SCAMING PPL..
September 28th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Had the same problem on one of the cells on our family plan. Called my provider (Sprint). They refunded the charges and put a block on our plan. Nothing can be charged anymore. My tip is to deal with our provider and put a block on your contract.
September 29th, 2010 at 11:58 am
I have no interest in your service. In fact, every time I see one of your texts I simply deleate it. In order for me to see the part of it that tells me to reply “stop” I would have to scroll down. Seems like a bit of a scam. I’ve never used the service and would like to be reimbursed for all charges since April 30th. Spoke to someone on the phone who agreed to refund Aug. and Sept. but that is not good enough. I expect the entire amount back. Reading the many other complaints about the same thing makes me think you should rethink your business practices. Thank you.
September 30th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
I did not knowingly authorize any service from this website. What am I being charged
October 2nd, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Was charged $9.99 when accidently clicked on some spam advertisement. I quickly canceled immediately following my mistake by texting unsub but was still charged anyway.
October 3rd, 2010 at 7:11 am
We were charged $9.99 this month and my husband swears he did nothing to incur this charge. We called Verizon and they will not help us get the charge off our bill, but did provide us a number of where to send a text. We were told to text STOP to 22643, we did receive a response back that we would no longer be charged.
Such a scam, I am almost as mad at Verizon for allowing this to happen in their network as I am at the company that made the charge. You know Verizon must be getting a piece of this, surprised that customer satisfaction is not more important to them.
October 22nd, 2010 at 10:11 am
My mother had this charged to her phone this month and I can tell you that she most definitely did not agree to this and actually has a text proving she wanted them to stop (on the same day she got the text from them). They still charged her anyway for $19.99!!!!
Also, for those of you who were responding to a job ad and took the IQ test…its ILLEGAL for a company to require an IQ test unless they can prove without a doubt that is required for the job (like a physicist or something). So please don’t take an IQ test unless the company can prove its necessary.
October 26th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I was charged $9.99 twice on my October invoice. I spoke to a woman who would not help me other than to say someone used my # but they do not track down the actual phone subscriber, they just charge the wireless company linked to the phone. She then put her “supervisor” named Shaun on the phone who said they would refund only one of the charges after much insistence on my part. I told him I wanted a full refund and he refused. I asked to speak to his manager. He would not give me the manager’s name. I called Kevin Spector (number given a few posts up) and left a voicemail. I do not want funmobile’s service. I did not authorize charges to my account. I want a full refund, Kevin Spector.
October 28th, 2010 at 2:54 pm

October 30th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I to have 159.80 8 months worth of charges thru this company. I called my carrier and was able to get a credit. This company should be outlawed. It is a scam and takes advantage of people. I did say My hubby and I were ready to switch carriers which may have helped get my credit.
November 2nd, 2010 at 3:48 pm
I suddenly received my AT&T cell phone bill and it had a $19.99 charge for Mobile Funster.com.
I contacteded At&T to find out what this was for and they told me that I have suscribed to this account. I notified them that I had not done this and that it was never authorized by me. It was illegally placed on my phone and I wanted it stopped immediately. I was instructed to go to http://www.att.com/db and request a pin, this let me onto a page that allowed me to request a refund for the charge. then i had a blocker put on my phone so that i would be notified if this happened again. If i add any apps are game to my phone it ask for my pin. I hope this works.
November 10th, 2010 at 11:09 am
I was doing jobs on Mechanical Turk and one of them was for MobileFunster – I didn’t even finish the task because I thought there was something fishy about it but nonetheless got charged $10.80.
Sent STOP to short code and received msg I’d no longer get billed but these people are thieves. Avoid and watch out for bad mechanical turk tasks!
November 18th, 2010 at 7:09 am
T Mobile put a free content block from 3rd parties on my mobile # and credited my $9.99; they said if you put your mobile # on any website, you could get scammed.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
i am glad to hear that i am not the only one out there that is having a problem. reading the coments have been helpful. yes i am having a lot of probs to. i am contacting a lawyer and i hope these peoople get shut down!!!!!

Unauthorized charges totaling $20.00 CAD over January 2010 from Triviafuntime, a subsidiary of Funmobile. Txt ‘STOP’ to 23000 for Triviafuntime. Good luck to all who got scammed by this company!
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:03 am
they scammed me for $29.97. how many complaints will it take to run them out of business? why does it continue since 2007?
I plan to file with CA Attorney General. Someone please stop the scam.
February 15th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
These damn charges just started showing up on my bill. called and they said we subscribed to them. Never did that. they said we must have put in our pin number and that is how we subscribed. Don’t even know what the pin is, so how could we subscribe. I want these charges stopped immediately! I called and they said it was now canceled, I better not get any more charges or someone is getting sued!
March 11th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Please add my name to the class action lawsuit against this guy. He should be in jail.
