This is a scam by a company called market by brand. Basically what they do is send unsolicited text messages to list of mobile phone numbers. Just receiving the text messages means you pay £3 to the company. The message looks like spam so most just ignore it. Those who complain get a refund by cheque which takes 15 days to arrive.
The company makes a profit from all those who don't realise what's happened and continue to pay a few pounds a month.
If you have received a text message like this the PLEASE COMPLAIN to Phone Pay Plus who regulate this market on 0300 30 300 20.
