–Report Unauthorized Jamster Cell Phone Charges–
Ok, so I had just topped up on my phone from Virgin Mobile just this wednesday, when I checked my account tonight on sunday, it was $2.98. I hadn’t even done that much; just a little texting and a ringtone I bought from Virgin Mobile, so it should’ve only been about $5-10. But I still had $2.98 left. So, I went online to virginmobile.com and saw that I was charged from the number 75555 for $9.99. I don’t remember ever getting anything from 75555 except texts or anything, so I’m wondering what just happened.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:10 am
For some reason I ordered your wall paper on my cell phone # and was able to down load 3 pictures and from than on all it comes up with is error now if we can’t figure this out I want my money refunded its been 2 days now please reply to me.this is from your 75555 number
January 20th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
they keep sending me crap i didnt but anything at all and there sending monthly fees when i didnt even freaken buy a thing from them
there just s stupid rip off and if anyone has there number please let me know
thanks
January 25th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I did’nt know that jamster would be charging a monthly fee off my phone each month i don’t want that could i cancel this service i can’t afford that i have trouble keeping money on my phone now
February 14th, 2008 at 2:44 am
when would i have a answer i would like to know
February 14th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I think your companies are the most misleading. SMS come from 65555 but to cancel, you have to use a different short code. You guys are evil sharks that prey on less intelligent people. You suck
February 15th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
My daughter “won” a free ringtone on pop bottle cap and went online to claim her prize. I told her not to do it, but she swore it was free. The next cell phone bill, there was the charge. It took me months to figure out how to get it stopped. We probably ended up paying $90 for the “FREE RINGTONE”. I hope someone fries these gusy.
March 8th, 2008 at 12:08 am
Oh, and the ringtone never downloaded either. She never actually got anything from them.
March 8th, 2008 at 12:11 am
i did not apply 4 jamter xxl i want my money replaced 2 my account asap..i am not going 2 pay 4 a service i dont use
April 15th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I have tried to cancel and have blocked from my phone, but are still being charged on my phone. I have canceled and would like my money replaced! I got 1 ringtone and have never used it again!
April 19th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I got 2 wall papers they charged me for a month then I tried to cancel. The next day i put $30 on my phone and i made one 2 min call and then my phone said my balance was low and to top up. I checked my charges it say a charge of 9.99 from 75555. I want my money back!
June 1st, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Just found out that nearly every time I put money into my daughter’s account for her virgin mobile phone, 9.99 was taken out from 75555. She asked if she could download a wallpaper and I said ok. Neither of us knew that one wallpaper download would cost 9.99 a month! At times when her balance was already low, this could’ve been unsafe for her in an emergency when she had no money left in her account, courtesy of Jamster!

October 8th, 2008 at 7:40 pm

October 10th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I received a charge from Jamster on my at&t wireless bill. At&t tried telling me that I had to have approved the charge, but I didn’t. I never buy anything using my phone, and I never buy any apps or games or anything for my phone online. The same exact thing happened with mblox. Both totaled almost $40 dollars. This is BS.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:57 am
What is Jamster, who is Jamster, why I was charged by them? I never heard of this company only until I was charged on my cell bill. Why they charge me? Any legal org can stop these ripping company?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Charge just showed up this month…Never ordered.
December 5th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Never ordered, never responded to any of the several spams they sent. Today I got a “we’ve renewed your subscription” message.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Got my ROGERS wireless bill today and had an $8 charge for “messages” from Jamster. Then today
got a text message that my Jamster membership was renewed?! Never signed up for it in the first place! Stop with the rip-offs already!HELLO,…is the CRTC or anyone else watching these thieves?
December 31st, 2008 at 12:14 am
Same as above. Checked my Rogers/Fido bill in detail today and discovered $8 x 6 months have been charged. Ouch! And I didnt even get whatever it was that was advertised for free in the first place. These guys are total scam artists. I am POSITIVE it was a ‘free’ ringtone that never even made it to my cell phone. Wow!!
March 10th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Just got a text saying we renewed a subscription I never started in the first place. When I sent the “stop” text, I got a reply saying I would be losing credits I had already payed for. Is there anyone out there monitoring crook companies like Jamster?
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:37 pm
What The Fuck?! One day I have none of extra fees besides my phone company’s charge, now I have jamster. I need someone who knows WTF they doing to help me remove this bullshit service, or I will sue jamster

So I stopped re-charging as I was losing my credit b4 Id get 2 use it at $5 a message sent or received. Ive received 90 texts from optus over 2 days, this is Jamster trying to take money off ME AGAIN!!
July 18th, 2009 at 9:11 am
The only issue with services like this are people like YOU who do not read the fine print when ordering ringtones from these people. You WILL be subscribed to a subscription service, it is YOUR fault. Suck it up, cancel the service and now you’re a little bit wiser.
July 25th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
People like YOU don’t seem to get the issue at hand here “Techie”. I never authorized this company to charge me a single cent; the charge was made via an online form at one of their numerous third party vendor sites. I contacted “Jamster” at 866-856-5267 (also info@jamster.com) and was given a full refund by means of a check.
This company has no business doing business in this manner, and I confirmed with them (Jamster) that all it took was someone-anyone-entering my cell number and now my phone had “12 free ringtones to still use” as per their (Jamster) customer service rep. No verification text was sent to my phone, nor was any other means or measure in place to ensure the person entering the cell number was the intended recipiant.
Unfortunately, this is a matter that anyone who has recieved a charge from them in the manner I described above needs to also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org).
Good luck.
September 10th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I have been billed twice so far $9.99 for a service I or my girlfriend never signed up for. Verizon Wireless was less than helpful when I told them I wanted my account credited the $19.98 I was charged for a service that I didn’t order or authorize. They basically said I need to cancel by sending stop to 75555. I did that, so we will see what happens. I think that service is a total scam and someone at Verizon Wireless is feeding cell phone numbers to someone at Jamster and getting kickbacks from all the sunscriptions it’s forging. So, I cancelled, wrote Jamster, and blocked premium SMS messaging on my phone, so we will see if it stops. If it doesn’t, I’ll be jumping on the lawsuit wagan and dragging Verizon Wireless into the mix with me.
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I wanted a song on my phone so I clicked download ringtone.It redirected me to a website, I entered my phone number and it sent me a msg.Next thing I know instead of having £8.00 I had under £3.00. I immediately text STOP to 88888. I had to do it another time before the texts stopped.I wont do that again
November 5th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Never gave an order and never downloaded anything.88888 stole more than 10 pounds from me. Anyone knows HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK? I know its just 10 pounds, but those Jammster thieves should give me back what they stole from me. I was charged as well when I sent STOP to 88888! I´m furious!
Thanks
November 27th, 2009 at 10:46 am
same thing as everybody.charged my celfone bill without authorization.they should be sued.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I was using Jamster for my Blackberry phone. When my Blackberry phone was stolen, I obviously cancelled my internet plan and had to resort to using a backup phone. Over the months, I amassed 82 credits. I asked Jamster to transfer my credits to another phone line on the same account and they said it couldn’t be done. Jamster has made money off of me without me receiving any use out of my credits. I guess they don’t value customers or the money they spend with this company, as I would be willing to transfer credits to a different account in order to keep the service going. I am cancelling the service and I would suggest that no one else use this service.
December 1st, 2009 at 12:30 am
cancelled my service weeks ago & still getting text msgs, how many times do you have to send in to cancel & how long does it take????NEED TO CANCEL A.S.A.P.HATE THE CHARGES ON MY CELL PHONE, CAN’T AFFORD ALL THE CHARGES
December 15th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Hi, I’m 14 years old and I sent a message to jamster to get a MJ Thriller ringtone, I didn’t get it, and every time they sent me one of those advertisment texts £4.70 was taken off my credit, and I have a pay as you go phone, and i am only allowed £5 every month! Trust me if you want a ringtone DO NOT GO WITH JAMSTER!!!!
January 12th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
it’s piss take , i didnt buy nufing , im now going to a foreign country , with hardly any credit?
March 13th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Fox Mobile.. aka 88888 have been sending up to 5 texts messages a day to my phone and have charged £1.50 per text. I have never subscribed and have just contacted orange (my mobile provider) and they have informed me they have to legally refund every charge. I think it is disgraceful for a company to prey on people to make money illegally.. they should be prosecuted (no different to theft)!!!!
April 12th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Any body looking to receive a refund – call there telephone number on 0870 1213186. Mon -Fri. They have to legally refund any credit they stole from you.
April 12th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
I was charged by the 88888 £20 they are fucking theaft a nd I will be sure to send them to court. BASTARDS.
April 25th, 2010 at 6:02 am
TYSM,i read your article and it solved my problem, the fuckers added 20 extra dollers on my phone bill. My mom is furious. Anyway, thanks for giving the 75555 number, i cept texting STOP to 6555 because thats the number they were texting me from. Those sneaky basterds anyway me, my mom, and my step dad thank-you this heart-ake is over and done with
June 18th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
There were 4 texts to this number on our son’s mobile phone bill wich cost a total of £4.90. I have checked his phone thoroughly and he received a message to which he replied STOP once. This was supposed to be free but cost £4.90!!!!!! And I’ve also checked that he’s not telling ‘fis’ but no content has been downloaded to his phone and he does not have internet access on it. THEFT!!!!
July 14th, 2010 at 10:41 am
Thanks AMANDA for your post on 12th April – I called the number and thery’re issuing a refund immediately – they crapped themselves when I said our son was 12 – appears he wouldn’t be old enough to use their service even if he had signed up!!!!!
July 14th, 2010 at 10:47 am
I just sent a ok message and immediately realised that is charging me and sent a stop message. in a moment i got charged nearly 10 pounds for 3 messages which directly pushed into my mobile.
August 26th, 2010 at 4:38 am
I have been charged $9.99 by Jamster for crap i did not authorize.
September 18th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
I recall a free ring tone offer but I never authorized a subscription. With ATT GoPhone service I didn’t know I was being charged until Jamster notified me of an invoice. They gouged me for about $20 for nothing in return.

I just stopped the $9.99 charge. We don’t know of any reason we were charged. My past phone bills prove that I was never contacted to see if I approved of the charges. I get paperless bill and hadn’t checked it for a while. They owe me for 5 months. The rep could not explain to me what we did to accept the charges–because we didn’t!!!

Jamster wont stop sending me messages HELP he takes my credit
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:00 am
TMobile just notified me that two of my lines were charged $9.99 each for downloads — EVEN THOUGH i pay extra every month to have Family Allowances BLOCKING downloads… I have no idea how this stupid Jamster company bypassed this Family Allowances… but it MUST be illegal!! I am telling Tmobile to reverse the $19.98 charge to our account! We NEVER authorized ANY downloads nor have we received text messages from “75555″…. this Jamster crap is 100% FRAUDULENT!

My 2 ear old son ordered Jamster while playing with his color me Nemo game. They make it so easy for babies to order this subscription. Complete Scam!!!!!
February 17th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Evidently pocket clicked on their add on my cell phone home page & that was enough to “subscribe.” Don’t think so. I called after I received the subscription text, lady very unhelpful, said would send refund check. Been a few weeks, still no check. I won’t pay because I won’t ever get it back. Calling phone company tomorrow.

Jamster has been charging my AT&T bill $10/mo for 6 months. I have NEVER bought an app. I have NO app called Jamster on my phone or any of my backups. It didn’t show up on my online statements, just in the total. AT&T says they can only credit 1 month back. What a con job.
March 17th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Stupid jamster somehow got our number and has been 9.99 charges and stupid sprint does not want to credit it.!!
April 22nd, 2011 at 10:15 pm
9.99 charge for no reason. Never signed up for it. T-mobile had to cancel the service for me and add a permanent block.
April 27th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
So right off the main page for media net on my BB, I see “I have” a free ringtone, so I click, click again, then I get a message saying thanx for you subscription for 9.99!!! WTF!!! I then cancel, but sending STOP to 75555, I get a message saying I’ll lose my 20 “credits” for canceling… Not only does Jamster need to get sued, ATT, Verizon, T-mobile, and all the rest of the wireless companies that put them front and center on their main pages. This scam and all like it need to be stoped!

My wifes phone started showing a 9.99 premium charge. I looked into it and it was from 75555_Jamster_8668565267. She never requested the service, but I had T-Mobile block the service on all my phones. This is a scam that it can ever happen.

Anyone know of an active class action lawsuit against these theives? I’d gladly join in the action. This company and it”s officers should be sued out of existance.
July 5th, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Received a message saying welcome to Jamster when I had not subscribed to any service or downloaded any wallpaper or ringtones. Telephoned them at 866-856-5267 and had the service canceled. Within half an hour they had already charged my telephone account $10.00. They could not reverse the charges but have to send a cheque to me at my home address and couldn’t send it to my company even though it is a company telephone. What a total rip off and inconvenience. We’ll see if the cheque comes.
August 1st, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Same as many others here – I did NOT sign up, download or agree to anything “Jamster” related, but got the fee on my cell phone bill. I think they should require more than just the phone# to create a charge.. What if someone else was ordering and typed it in wrong?
August 10th, 2011 at 11:07 am
i got one song from jamster £2.99 now 1 month later i get 9.00 off my phone WTF? i wont my money back
August 27th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Found charges from Jamster for past 3 months..I never requested this service! I texted STOP to the 75555 nuumber then I called the number provided: 866-856-5267. Talked to a cust svc rep, they tried to say I ordered this thru their website, which I did not. I told them to check their records because not only have I never ordered this service, but I also had never downloaded anything from them. I told them I wanted my money back. They said they could send it to me by check. I gave my mailing address and asked them to verify the service had been cancelled and to block my number so no other charges can be incurred. Supposed to take 20 days for the check to come. Hopefully it’ll be that easy. If you’ve been charged by Jamster for an order you didn’t place, call them. Maybe you can get your money back. Good Luck!

I have been trying for over a year to figure out what this charge is on my cell phone bill all T-Mobile can tell me is that something was down loaded and My 14 year old daugeter said she never ordered anything, Her friends order them and sent her a txt with the ring tone attached to a picture and every since then my husband and I have been charged $9.99. I am calling the company today and if this does not come off my bill I will contact a attorney
September 27th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Jamste started charging my brother for a service he did not purchase. What a sleezy company. He never texted anything to “65555″
November 4th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Well can sum1 teach me how to send a name or something lyk tht to 75555
Example: testing dude to 75555
P.s- do u have 2 put a 559 or something lyk tht in front of the #?
November 15th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
I have two charges on my sprint bill for $9.99 on phones jamster didn’t work. Please resolve this issue.
December 13th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
Really wish my phone had not ‘pocket surfed’ this website. Next thing I know, I’m getting these crazy txt. Calling the company to tell them. I did not ask for this. Nor do I want it. I never even gave it my phone number…
December 24th, 2011 at 2:03 am
I cant believe people will order anything….see…. you all got what you deserved… stop believing you get something for nothing.
December 24th, 2011 at 3:01 am
We never authorized anything, but $9.99 plus $1.98 usage was charged to our bill. Verizon said they could do nothing because it was third party, and told us this company. I put a block of all premium messaging serviced on our line. Then we called Jamster who claimed we authorized the charge even though we didn’t. They said they would mail us a refund check. We won’t hold our breath for it to show up though. If it does, we’ll be going over it with a fine tooth comb for fine print.
December 24th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Verizon also said there is no guarantee that they haven’t already charged us more which will appear on the next bill. Hopefully not, but I suggest that everyone has a block of premium third party messaging services put on their phone. Without it there your are wide open for scammers like this to attack your account, and your phone provider will do nothing to help you.

I’ve just added a new line to my t-mo account, and the very first text I got is from 75555. Not knowing what is was I was very careful and managed to delete it. Today I logged in to tmo and found that there’s a download charge which I am sure the $9.99 is from the jamster 75555. In any case, I texted the STOP to 75555 just now, and received a reply saying I’d lose credit I already paid for, but will not bill me anymore. Now, I did not buy anything from them nor did I authorize any charge to my tmo account from them. Tomorrow I’ll contact tmo the first thing to reverse the charge.
December 25th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
I have been periodically getting unauthorized charges on my T-mobile bill categorized as premium services from Jamster. T-Mobile customer care is of no help as they insist these are valid charges. It is a fraud and this company needs to be pulled into court.
January 3rd, 2012 at 5:04 pm
I never even subscribed but just went to th jamster page and typed in my phone #. It said NOTHING about $!! I thought I could just get a quick Cody Simpson ringtone!! Then it texted me: Thanks for your purchase! PURCHASE?! It charged me $ and I’m like 11. Like others I texted STOP and it sent me a text. I ignored it and came back an hour later and there were like 15 messages!!! AND it doesn’t let u unsubscribe. IT SUX!
January 4th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
I think I ended it. I went to My Account and clicked My Mobile. Then I clicked Verizon (I am realy AT&T) and chose a text phone (I have an IPhone) and it was fine with it. So now the texts have stopped so I think it worked.
January 4th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
My daughter text this and when she found out they were going to charge tried to cancel. I still got the bill. Called Verizon and they put a block on all these kinds of services. If there is a class action please include me. Jamster needs to be punished.
BTW, if you are on on this site complaining and asking for your money back you are on the wrong site. This site is for people who want to be included in a class action suit. Hence the needs to put your email address. I am in for $9.99 and possibly another $9.99 depending on how Verizon is able to cancel this service.
January 26th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Found this on our bill attached to my daughters number. I called Jamster and had the service terminated, her number blocked, and have been told that I will get a full refund as my daughter is a minor.
She signed up by use the Jersey Shore name app. She was in more trouble for having anything to do with Jersey Shore than she was for the $10 monthly charge
January 29th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
I clicked on a “free” ringtone on Facebook. Then had a message on my phone that I was going to be charged $9.99 per month. This just now happened, so I haven’t been charged anything yet, but I’m upset about it. Thanks.
January 31st, 2012 at 7:24 pm
My husband received a text message from a number he didn’t recognize. He opened it, and it automatically downloaded Jamster to his phone. He tried to text back STOP, but it did not work. It was too late. He received a second text message from Jamster that said, “You have 20 FREE credits, do you want to use them?” He texted back, “No.” THey responded, “but these are FREE.” He thought, well, “Free,” and hit the OK button. SO, here’s the $9.99 per month SCAM by Jamster. This needs to stop and Jamster needs to be sued for ENTRAPMENT.
