I saw this sponsored Ryanair ad on Facebook. It was a weekly competition to win 500 euro worth of flights. I googled it to see if it was a scam before posting but nothing came up for it although I didnt search past the 1st page of google. Anyway I also thought that Facebook would have vetted any as they need to be approved before your advert can go online. So it was a 3 question survey. Asked how often I fly in a year, how often I go on holidays etc.. They ask for your mobile number to get sent a code to enter the competition. Now they are bombarding me with texts and to opt out you have to pay. I dont know what the charge is as it doesnt say so have delayed texting STOP. I'm afraid it could be a lot like 50 or 100 euro etc..
I went on this Ryanair facebook page and its fake. Was only set up a week ago. I have tried blocking the number but it wont allow me. Anyway is there any way to stop this crowd messaging me without texting them? Haven't fell for a scam like this since the wallet inspector |

Just checked there and its a widespread scam. What they get out of it I dont know. MAybe its the text message money to opt out? Hopefully nothing worse.
I actually googled pinchecker.com as they were the advertising company running it and seemed legit. I should have googled Ryanair scam. Don't worry I will be putting myself in the Thick Thread |

Rang Tesco Mobile and they say they can't block it. Apparently this scam charges you 2.50 for every text message they send you. Got about 5 or 6 so far.

Have you a link to the scam?
Ring Tesco back and ask them how to block it alternatively threaten to cancel your account with them. http://www.tescomobile.com/help-and-support/1812-safety-and-security/1814-nuisance-calls-and-texts/stop-spam-calls-and-texts Their should also be a call blocking option on your phone too.

Rang Tesco and I was told to text STOP to the number. Costs 10c. The scam is every text message they send you costs you 2.50 to receive and I received 3 or 4 I reckon. They send you 3 or 4 a week until you opt out.
