Received 5 unauthorized text message2, at $5.00 per message, which I had never subscribed for. Called my service provider, he told me how to unsubscribe. i.e., text the word ‘Stop’ to the 2waytraffic text number 88788. I also called 2Waytraffic, and they have put in a request for a rebate of the $25.00. Now I will wait to see if this all works.

We are with Rogers Wireless and have discovered we have gotten caught up in this scam also. They said we typed in our cell number on a internet popup which we do not get popups and I would NEVER give my number or any info to any website or popup. They then sent a text message which we don’t use or are supposed to have on our phone. I never opened them but seeing I had messages from 66366 that I didn’t know who it was, I just automatically deleted them. They said I put in a code they sent which signed me up for their service. Never happened, they all were automatically deleted without opening the message. Now we have had to pay an extra $30 a month for something we didn’t sign up for and didn’t want.

Rogers Canada issues cheques to Two-Way Traffic on a regular basis; this of course, is according to the two-way traffic crooks. Third party billing is not part of my contract with Rogers and I refuse to pay for the original charges, any new charges, and any interest charges on my Rogers account. My contract with them ends in a few months and since they will not own up for this old and recurring problem. Rogers should have been aware of this scam since it has been a problem since 2007. Both two-way traffic and Rogers said that they want the unauthorized money from me because I ignored the text message to me. This current unopened and unread text is still waiting to be opened by me, and this is both parties reasoning as to why I am being charged. I am not obligated by anyone to open unsolicited text. If Rogers wants to cancel my cell phone over the unpaid $15 plus 12% HST and future interest charges, they can. As far as I am concerned they have broken my contract with them. No 3rd party billings should be entitled to bill my cell phone account. This account is not a credit card account.

The company says i subscribed to their service, which i did not, charged me $33.75 and 8,75$ on my cell phone bill, have been getting text messages from them for the last few months, did not know who they were so i deleted the messages, as soon as i got my phone bill and seen the charges i phoned the company and unsubscribed, they insist that i subscribed to their service which i did not. Can you imagine how many people don’t complain and how much they are making with all of us.

‘Just found charges on my AT&T cell phone today, by 2waytraffic/Emexus. What does it take to put these people out of business? AT&T gladly refunded one month’s charge, and assisted with getting me unsubscribed, but that tells me AT&T knows what is going on. Why can’t they just reject the charges?

How do these people get away with this? My code was 77877 and they claim that I signed up for it and confirmed by returning a text with a pin. Verizon Wireless claims 2 way traffic alerts is a legit service and not games…but the site if “Game On”. I believe someone entered my # and a friends online, we both have these charges and neither of us confirmed any such service. Furthermore, there is no record in my history of a text being sent from my phone to confirm…Scam…Fraud…

i recieved a charge of $9.99 on my verizon wireless phone bill and was not aware of any subscriptions or premium texting and did not authorize it and was wondering if you could send me a refund of my $9.99 directly to me.

@ months agao i found alot of charges on my phone from this company, After contacting them i reauested for them to remberse my account. They were much abliged. Needless to say the $10.00 never made it to my account. Here it is Feb and after reviewing my account againg i see that they have been chargeing me again. Not one time have i ever granted them the permision to deteuct any of these charges to my account. Unbelieveable, somebody respond by telling me what it is that i can do about this. I can’t afford to have anybody just taking money away from me. Thank you George

Caught the 778-77 premium text messaging charge on my cell phone. Sent them a stop text message. Verizon reversed charges. Contact State Attorney’s office in your state.

These assholes at 78777 keep texting me and costing a fortune. I called my service provider (Virgin Mobile)twice, and they credited me my minutes back. I finally got a real person on the phone at Emexus and he verified that I had canceled the service that I hadn’t signed up for in the first place. However, the Emexus rep said that since I canceled their service today I may receive up to TWO more of these texts!

Unbeknownst to me, Emexus was sending me something on my Virgin Mobile cell phone every day at a cost of $0.99 with a $9.99 charge every month. Since I only use my phone for emergencies, I didn’t notice this for several months. The Virgin web site just indicates the charges for “XTRAS” with no indication of where it is from or what it is for. I complained to Virgin and after initially saying they were not responsible, they told me it was Emexus sending me these XTRAS, whatever they were, and agreed to refund all charges going back three months for a total of over $50. I had to stay on the phone with the Virgin representative for over an hour while she refunded each charge individually and my cell phone battery ran out before she finished. I still haven’t got confirmation that the charges have been refunded. What a crazy system but at least Virgin Mobile did eventually acknowledge their responsibility and refund the charges.
