Scammed charge to phone bill
Several months ago I started receiving a 9.99 per month charge on my phone bill. (714-402-****). This is a total unauthorized charge and I demand it be removed from all future bills. If this is not done immediately I will file charges with the ICC for fraud.I am also going to complain to Verizon for allowing this sort of fraudulent situation to happen. z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z

Predicto Mobile and T-Mobile
My son at age 16 got scammed into a survey. My T-Mobile account was supposed to be locked so that only me, the primary phone and account holder, could make changes. We have been getting charged $9.99 since 2008 under a category of premium services. I assumed this was part of the smart phone upgrade, habdset protection, and didn't pay much attention. Come to find out it was predicto mobile. There is no reason T-Mobile should have been allowing this on a minors phone, let alone hiding it amoungst line items that are hard to understand as well.

Billed on cell phone from unknown company
I was getting these odd text messages from Predicto.com, I wasnt even aware of who they were or how they got my number to text me. I stopped the texts from coming in by responding STOP. Than I got another text stating: You will no longer be charged for this service. What service, who the *** were they? Well a few days later I recieved my cell phone bill...to find a charge of $9.99 to PredictoMobile, plus a huge casual data use of 2016 KB with a charge of $60.48. My cell phone company deleted the fees, but PredictoMobile should be stopped.

STOLE MONEY
Predicto Mobile's company is a total scam! They charge you $9.99 just for your phone number? I had to call my service provider and ask to have my account reviewed to prove to them that I didn't owe them anything. Predicto claimed they would contact me in 24 to 48 hours.Its been approximately 5days and I still haven't heard anything from them,and then on top of that you would have to wait for a check to get your refund! Why cant they put the money back on the same way they took it off?

Charged Without Consent
I too have noticed for the first time a charge of 9.99 my carrier is reversing . I am filing a formal complaint with the WV Attorney Generals Office for Fraudulent charges. Your customer reps first words are can I have your Cell Phone Number . No I don't this so. I don't understand how this charge appeared to begin with and I will not give them the information of the phone. Just wanted everyone who reads to be aware. Review your cell bill thoroughly for hidden charges and discrepencies. I had not reviewed mine for a few months and as soon as i stopped This company was what I saw. Beware

Predictomobile scammed us
We never signed up, never even heard of this place until we got our cell bill. Only had the phone 3 months.We got charged 9.99 twice in one billing and this month 9.99 three times. We called the number and they said the phone # was never activated and yet we have all these charges. This month they tell us the phone was activated. we were watching and never went to any site or did anything. scam my 14 yr old. The phone is for daughter to get ahold of us and visa verse. where do I go to report scam?

Predictomobile scammed our 16-yr old!
Just checking our family T-Mobile billing details, noticed a $9.99 charge on daughter's phone for a service called Predictomobile. When we called T-Mobile, we were told to text a message to the original six-digit number saying "stop." She did this and got a return message saying she was unsubscribed. However, she claims she does not remember subscribing in the first place. I also received a call asking me to answer a survey question, and being an adult, I promptly told them we were on the national do not call list and hung up. This is a scam because they do not clearly tell kids they are selling some service, and this could happen to millions of kids before anybody can stop it. Keep an eye on your cell phone bill. Luckily T-Mobile has all the details of each bill on line so we can look at them any time. I feel this is one more symptom of the lack of basic morality, a simple concept of right and wrong, that has become part of our culture. What kind of thinking can make it okay to scam kids???

Predictomobile charged me with out my approval
Predictomobile charged me with out my approval or knowledge. I just received my Sprint bill and it had a charge for $9.99 for PredictoMobile-vte. It took me some time to get it off my bill. The Sprint customer service rep said that she had been getting a lot of calls about charges from this company. People are PISSED!!! They must be very sneaky about how they charge you. This charge also continues every Month until you cancel. They need to be shut down. Rep Off artist!!!!!!! What a waste of my time. Hopefully the Gov will shut them down. Mark

Predictomobile...web survey scam...
Perdictomobile No purchase necessary to play or win. Answer one survey question, they send you a 6 digit number by texting...enter that number online and presto you just signed up to their scam for 9.99 per month!!! Now you have to find them on line, then customer service and argue with them while they tell you how exactley you signed up. No where is it mentioned that a cost is involved on the survey, by the time you get your cell phone bill a month has passed and you have been a member so they won't take the charge off. Do the math...9.99 times a million..i guess they can afford to give away 50k as a prize....nice of them...

Downloaded and text messaged me without my permission
I think it really stinks that these people are billing customers on any cell phone company as a third party bill. I have had to call Sprint 3 times and have the same charges removed from my bill. These people are making a ton of money on people and nobody even knows where this is coming from. When you try to go to their website and get a way to contact them, you cannot fill out a complaint without giving your cell phone # again, which is probably how I got ripped off in the first place. This is fraud. Someone should be arrested for what is going on. I am really angry about this and I hope that there are not too many people out there that think oh, its only 10 bucks I'll just pay it this time and have the service removed. It is ridiculous.

This company is a scam, they took my money with a lie, I didn't used my cell to call them
This company is a scam, they took my money without asking or letting me know that they would charge me for anything, they just trick you with a survey on the computer and then rob you money, sending you a $9.99 bill plus they never stop sending you text messages that cost you more money, maybe someone needs to call better business bureau, or consumer's affairs, maybe that will stop them from cheating people with lies.and the cell phone company should have a solution if they see that we are been taken advantage of,instead of telling people to call them.

Same thing happened to me recently. I had to get the $9.99 charge removed from my bill as well.
I knew I got scammed.
I now have texting disabled on my cell phone due to scammers! ;)
About one month ago, I started receiving those text messages on my cellphone [ATT provider]. I just cancel or delete them.
I don't have the text message option.
My Husband is looking at our bill right now.
Thank you for posting it.
