Hi everyone,
I too am a victim of this scam. I have found however the trail leading to the so called Pres/CEO of this scam service... His name is Christian Heileson, the address is 197 Portland Street, Boston, MA 02114. The phone number is the same that you are to call to get customer service, [protected]. I found this through the Better Business Bureau which I suggest you all file a complaint with. The BBB ID number for this company is 102515. There is also another email address listed. It is [protected]@funmobile.com . Oddly enough there is only 1 complaint in the last 36 months on this company. Somehow they have managed to hide. So go to the BBB, the company was registered in Delaware in 2006 listed under Funmobile and register your complaint. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we all can turn the tables on this scam company.
Three months ago my daughter got on line to funmobile.com & gave out her phone number for ring tones. She received nothing on her phone or anything else. However, I am getting monthly charges for $9.99 for the past three months. I have tried to stop this charge along with my cell phone company. I would like this charge OFF my cell phone bill now. . I would like a check for $19.98 for the two months prior, as my cell phone company has credited my account for this month. However they will NOT credit me anymore . I am upset this is going on & ready to take whatever kind of action that is needed to stop this monthly charge. Please let me know how to STOP this matter NOW!
I don't want them to text me any more because of the charges that are showing up on my cell bill.
This company charged my Verizon account for something that I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. They charged me $19.99 and I have to pay this! I am not happy and I will complain everyday until they credit me for this bogus charge that was never approved!
I did not subscribe to this service - they charged my Verizon account $19.99. This is such crap, I want them to credit my account. How do I go about doing this? Their phone number is just a recording and they want your cell number to charge your account again. I need info on getting them to credit my verizon bill immediately. I want to file charges, but have no info on this scam company.
To unsubscribe just to go http://funmobile.com/help.do & you will find "How to unsubscribe the service?"
The same thing happened to me. I talked to Alltel and they take the attitude that it is not their problem. I don't see how legally Alltel can place a charge on your phone bill from another company without your authorization. I would like to hear some lawyers comments on this.
Decided to cancel ring service but keep on getting e-mail message that it is not possible because cancellation code is not acceptable. And I still get billed.
Taking money off mt phone. And I didn't order anything from them. I want my dang money back. They are doing this to a lot of people. Something needs to be done about this.
Beware!
I don't ant u sending me texts i never used it but i was charged 9.99. I want it taken off my centennail bill i don't want it and i have no use for it sincerely cindy.
They are con artists, Sprint told me that everytime they sent their renewal text, I was charged 5.99! That is ###! I never renewed the joke a day service, but they continued to bill me for it.
I did not subscribe to receive any text from this company and I want them to stop now how do I get them to stop the number given is not valid.
I took the advise of another complaint poster and it worked. You have to reply to the original text (or possibly any of them) with this text entry:
4help: customercare@funmobile.com Cxl txt STOP USD.
Be sure to type the above word for word. I received a reply back right away letting me know the service has been canceled.
I have a prepaid phone and funmobile has been taking 5.99 at least once a day sometimes twice. They took 39.00 dollars out of my account in august alone i sent them a text message to stop and they have not. I don't even get the stupid jokes they send i don't even know how i got signed up on this.
Beware!
I am 60 years old and don't know, or want to know, how to "text message". I never subscribed to this ### and keep getting charged over $20.00 per month by Verizon. The sick part is Verizon makes no claim to this service but bills and collects the money every month! Of course Verizon, along with their paid politicians have you by the short hairs since it costs you a full two years service to cancel! I wrote the FCC and they claim to NOT regulate the cell phone companies! Stay as far from Verizon as possible, they are no better than thieves on the street!
Will TRY, but really want revenge! Against them and especially Verizon, their partners in crime.
Beware, Verizon is getting me for over $20 a month and I never subscribed either. I am 60 yrs old and don't even know how to "text"; nor do I want to!
I keep getting charged $19.99 a month to my cellular company for a fun mobile subscription that I never signed up for. I want them to stop bothering me! I don't want their subscription.
Tried to get a free ringtone -- got NO ringtone, but 'joke of the day.' Canceled several days after and have been charged $19.99 for two months now. If we text the 71769 code, it says we are not subscribers.
My next letter will be to the FCC -- and I e-mailed them this information today, so we'll see what happens.
Idiots.
Complete idiots.
;-)
I had gone on a web site for ring tones for my phone. Selected free ring tones and now receive charges from "Funmobile" subscription. Also receiving charges from CSW for ring tone subscriptions.
Beware!
I have not and do not want text messages from funmobile 4help: customercare@funmobile.com
Thank you
Funmobile.com will charge you $1.00 every day for sending horoscopes in the form of text messages. I have no idea how they got my number, but once they did, text messages came every day. To stop them, reply to the text message using the word "stop" in the message. Funmobile doesn't return emails or phone calls. Do NOT deal with this company. They are a scam.
I logged into Funmobile without knowing that I would be charged, as there is nothing anywhere on the site that states that I will be charged for logging in. I keep receiving messages which I don't need and I have not used any service at all. Yet I am charged $19.96 for a weekly membership fee. Nowhere at anytime did they ask whether I wanted to be a member or that there would be a fee! Is this a scam? Be alert everyone - if there is a charge stated, it's hidden somewhere you can't find!
Did not use this funmobile thing for anything, phone carrier said there was a charge for $9.99 for it.
I tired for a free ringtone and I got charged $19.99 and recieved nothing. I am yet to get more charges yet. However I better not. I have not got nothing for paying not even a ringtone. And upon looking at their site they really didn't even have any ringtones. If anyone knows how to get my money back plz email me.
I am also a victim to FunMobile. I have been receiving SMS almost daily from FunMobile. Thinking that these are just some junk SMSes, I ignored them without even scrutinize the text. Out of the blue I received a billing from my telco for "Weekly Membership Fee" of $9.98 per week.
I scrutinized the content of these SMSes and it said "$9.98 will be billed. To stop text stop MO to 77123".
I am definitely not paying for something that I did not subscribe to!
To whom this may concern: my cell phone number is [protected]. This is a business telephone that nobody has access to except for myself being karen sturek. I did not subscribe to funmobile however they keep text messaging me jokes and horoscopes on a daily basis. Sometimes up to 4-5 time a day. I am getting charged 1.00 per text message. I want this to stop immediately. I did not give funmobile permission to text message my phone. I have contacted funmobile 1 week ago and demanded they stop. However text messages are still continuing and they refuse to stop. I want these text messages to stop immediately or i will go to the police and have this company charged with fraud. Enough is enough lose my number and quit text messaging my business phone. Karen sturek
I just noticed that I had a text message that I was to be charged 19.99/mo for something I have no idea what it is and I don't want. I didn't authorize this charge either.
i dont want to recieve your jokes every morning there stupid jokes and iam not paying you a dime so stop sending me ###
I didn't sign up for funmobile and I don't want the service. I added time to my phone yesterday and shortly after funmobile had taken my remaining money away for their weekly charge of $5.99. I don't want funmobile and I want my time back on my cell phone PLEASE! Thank you Jess Ross
stop charging me monthly for something i never wanted or authorized. I am going to contact the Attorney General about this if it does not stop immediately. Also, you owe me for 4 months of charges i never ok'ed.
I may have visited your website not knowing i will be charge for that.I was charged last month for monthly download i was sad but i paid cos i dont have your phone number or website to make my comments but today i received a text which required me to download, i called but you where it of services.Please can you find a way to cancel it because i didnt apply for it, i will grateful if the csw ringtimes which is been charged $9.99 monthly for ,because i will not be happy paying the same bill again.Thanks and happy new year.
I did not apply for FunMobile.com jokes. I do not want them charged to my phone number. This phone is on a government account and this is an illegal charge. Please take this off my phone. The phone # is [protected]. Thank you Lance Gillette
Multiple e-mails demanding information that they have already received persistence, and lack of respect towards a non-existing customer. Hidden Charges that are untraceable. Ignorant and tactless customer service staff.
hey my name is joe and i am getting charged for some thing i didn't authorized and i want them to stop because they are running my bill up
i was charged with this 19.99 text to my phone. i dont know what its for. looked up on the internet for a phone number. all i get is all these complaints. its tripping me out. this is some crap... all i want is my money back. i didnt authorize this. this is bull...

Thank you.
I downloaded a free site and now I keep getting this bill charged to my Sprint bill every month. The big RIP OFF is that it doesn't work on my cell phone. FREE... This is BS. Nothing but SCAMMERS! BEWARE!
