Cell PHone #s

[bessie1111]

Hey, I have done a few surveys where they requested my cell phone # and they send me a confirmation text.  But it also says that I will be charged $9.99 per month.  I opt out right away and reply back with the word STOP.  Will they still charge me?  It's certainly not worth doing the survey if they are going to charge me through my cell phone company $9.99 per month.

No you will not be charged. I did that too when those text messages are sent to my phone. Haven't noticed any charges on my ATT bill. Its ok my friend you will be fine. 

[bessie1111]

That's good to know....thank you.

I got charged $9.99 twice even though I texted STOP immediately...

Edit: Actually I have one charge for 19.99 and 2 charges for 9.99
The cell phone offers are not worth it

I would suggest just ignoring the text and deleting it. I would not reply with "stop" or any pin number. If you have unlimited sms then recieving these texts should not be an issue. Better safe than sorry.... 

[jamescaesar]

but if i don't respond with a pin, won't I be denied credit from fursioncash?

@jamescaesar - Unfortunately, yes

[moartmac]

i dont really know how this works but how do u put a referal somewhere on the internet

[gesus]

ive been in that postion before , i never go thru with those txt mgs and why is 10 dollars in the 1st place like what kinda service in txt is it SO important for you to charge me $9.99!? getouttahere with that

[jamescaesar]

so, really...there is no point in doing the mobile offers. fusioncash will pay me about $7 for each, but I'll also be charged $9.99 for each...

[yhawthorne]

Yeah I forgot to add if you text STOP you will not be credited by FC for that offer. Which means there should not be any charges on your cell bill. I agree the cellphone promos are not worth the time.   :-

did you read the small print? under these adds it says 9.95 a month , i heard on the news this was going on  on some facebook games and some lady got a bill for 1,000  and was flipping out and they said because she responded to one of those online adds

[catdula]

Unfortunately most of the time when you complete mobile offers you DO get charged a monthly fee, even if you text STOP back to the number.  This is because you have already been charged for one month, but they will not charge you for another if you reply STOP like it usually says to on the text.  Read the fine print beside the asterisks.  Which mobile offers have you done?  I can look at them and tell you if you will be charged.  For example, you will be credited $7.20 if you do the "Get Bonus American Idol Ringtones or Cool Text Services Now!" offer, and $7.20 is pretty much the most you can get for a mobile offer.  However, when you click on the offer and scroll down to the bottom of the page you see the following:

Minimum age restrictions apply. You must be 18 or older in order to participate in the following states: Florida. cdba1ddb31cc6ebaeba35cf02be124c4

You receive $7.20 for doing the offer, but are charged $9.99 to do it as well, so you are actually losing money ($2.79).
I try to stay away from mobile offers due to this!  I'm really sorry this happened to you, please read the fine print in the future so you don't end up getting charged again.   

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I don't do these offers.  Too risky.
