i am investigating cases for unsolicited text messg, and would like more info on this ringtone matter.

anyone wanting to discuss it further, please email me at...malleylaw@gmail.com

All i want is a complete refund back to my account [protected]. i never authorized any charges to be deducted. I tried to reply back to unsubscribe but it had taken my account to a zero balance.

Being charged for text messages that were not authorized by me! Beware all! Do not let them get you!

I do have Verizon and not knowing that the offers of TrialPay, Prize Rebel, MetaRL, etc. were subscribing things. I am only 11, and I tried them, and still received my prize. Although, my mom got the phone bill and it said it wass charged 20$ for my dad and I 's phones. So, she contacted Verizon and asked why these charges were placed, given the number and texted "STOP" to them, and blocked them from further charges, yet this 332-32 is still texting but I cannot see them, therefore I do not have to worry. I think it is B.S that they do this, frauds come in many ways nowadays, no matter what game, online use, etc. It will happen.

Ringaza=RingaZa=Rigaza=FRAUDULENT CHARGES!

We were charged $9.99. Brand new cell phones!
facts:
Day after opening them a charge appeared out of no where.
No one else had access to our phones.
No one took any online quiz.
We were not online.
There are no kids or anyone else with acces to the phones.
There were/are no texts from Ringaza.
Charge appeared without any promting in any way on our part.

What we did so far:
We contacted our cell phone company and had ALL THIRD PARTY CHARGES banned and blocked- DO THIS NOW EVERYONE! (We have Verizon.)
We wrote a dispute E-mail to Ringaza (from work.)

So far:
We got a nasty E-mail from Ringaza refusing a refund for this fraudulent charge. They explained the way they trick others into signing up for their service (the "free ring-tone scam" above.) We did not do that. (By the was--DON'T take the Facebook quizzes.

This company is a FRAUD! Their practices are illegal. There was never any agreement nor disclosure of any kind.

By the way--
Whovever "Bobby V" is above in this posting, who said there is "no possible way to accidentally subscribe" is right. While some of the people tooka quiz of got a text--in this case, Ringaza FRAUDULENTLY sign US up WITHOUT our permission--it's no damned "ACCIDENT!" They did this on purpose to take money. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD ALERT! They think no one will initiate a class action, because it's only $9.99! Exteremly deceptive business practices, and now blatant fraud.

the same things happened to me. this is entrapment, unethical, misleading, & ###! they keep taking the $ . i can't use my phone without text interuptions. and now i can't even reach them to "unsubscribe". this needs to stop. they need to be shut down and pay for their actions. WHAT DOWNLOADS? that's not how a company does business. you really are ###s!

Bobby V,

I am amazed that you talk to people they way that you do knowing that your company uses the sneaky tactics it does to acquire your business. I myself, did not order the pin number. I read the small print underneath which tells you that you are actually subscribing to a service which has absolutely nothing to do with the task you were performing. I stumbled upon this by clicking on an IQ test. I answered about 10 questions that anyone with a 3rd grade education should be able to answer. Then, before it gives you your IQ score it wants your cell phone number so that it can send you a pin. Only by reading the fine print underneath will you discover that you are actually subscribing to a service (which I assume is worthless since they have to resort to these tactics to get business.) Your company is sneaky and underhanded and everyone that you have scammed should win a class-action suit and get their $20 back and then some for the trouble of having to deal with a loser like you.

Suck it, Bobby V

hey tht happend 2 me...they said they would send results to the test if i typed in the pin...then they said i had subscribed and to stop all i had 2 do was send stop 2 them...i did tht immediately so i was subscribed 4 all of 2 minutes...are they still going 2 charge me the monthly fee?

Please remove me from your list now.
Thankyou I NEVER WANTED IT TO BEGIN WITH!

I played some quiz about Metallica from a link I clicked on with facebook, and thinking facebook was reputable, the link was ok. I won the quiz, clicked "download your free ringtone", and I was taken to a page of ringtones with about 10 artists, NONE of them Metallica, but there were several other links on the page asking me to "click here" for other stuff. I never did get my ringtone, so that is false advertising to start with.

On top of that, I am now receiving multiple text messages every hour, none of which I consented or subscribed to, and if you are going to tell me that I didn't "read" the fine print, that's illegal and entrapment, and that's just for starters. You can't advertise things like that and then sign someone up, knowing that they would have disagreed, had they knew what they were signing up for. That's a scam, and if it was legitimate, you wouldn't have to put it in the fine print in the first place.

I just tried sending a message to customer support, and I am getting page timeouts on the page, and when I log into the account that was created for me when I tried to get my free ringtone (which I also did not consent to), I went to the "account" page, to request for the text messages I keep getting on my phone to stop, it went to another page with another advertisement asking me for my phone number again, and a PIN, NOT an account page where I can subscribe/unsubscribe to get the text messages to stop.

I would appreciate if I could get someone from that company to get in touch with me so I can get any and all of my information removed from their database, as I did not consent, nor did I subscribe, and I do not want to create an account. This is misleading and it's a felony at the very least.

I did not subscribe to this crazy scheme. One day, I went on a website and asked to receive different ring-tones and then began receiving these ridiculous text messages. I've just sent back a message "STOP" after one of the text messages said they would stop sending the messages if I replied w/ this message. I'm hoping this is the end!

I agree with the complaint...you can "accidentally" be subscribed to your scam of a service if someone puts in a phone number that doesn't belong to them...and you get $20...please...Not to mention, a screen pops up after you take the IQ test and they send you a text message saying you subscribed to their service which you haven't...and that is an unauthorized charge. You will be hearing from my team of lawyers.
