Thanks(name removed)you are subscribed to wallpaperya.com for £50/week to cancel wallpaperya.com/nwKE53Z I don't recall putting any bank details on it please help what do I do .
Received this text message yesterday. Was about to contact my network provider as I fell victim to this type of thing before where I clicked in order to cancel any sort of thing with them. Have since deleted it and blocked the number. These type of companies are sneaky - when one is caught, they just create more and more.
Received this yesterday, no number, just from WallpaperYa.Have deleted it
I have received this and did click the link. What should I do to stop my details being obtained?
I’ve had this just after signing up to Amazon PrimeI didn’t click on the link and deleted the text
I received the message. You are subscribed for £50 a week. I copied the link and opened it in a browser. They had my full name. I deleted it after that and cleared all site data. Could they access any details without entering anything further?
No. It seems the purpose of the scam is to trick you into sending financial information.
I had this message but clicked on the link to unsubscribe, have I been scammed?
Not unless you have sent your financial information.
