I had received a few text messages in April from Mob-shack. the first text that I received said that my access had been renewed for $9.99. I ignored this message as I had never signed up for a service with Mob-shack so I thought it was sent in error and the message was not even addressed to me. I received another text a few days later with the same message. Upon doing some online research, I was informed that I should reply with "STOP" in order to stop these messages.

The messages stopped but I received my cell phone bill today and it showed a charge of $29.95. When asked what this was for they said it was for MobShack. I explained that I had never signed up for anything and I didn't even know what this company was and they didn't care. She said I would have to take it up with them and on fact the manager I spoke with said what MobShack does is completely legal.

I am very upset and sad to see that this has happened to many others. I will be writing a letter to MobShack, and to my MP because if this is legal, we should be taking action to stop this. As well, will be writing a letter to CTV as they often do pieces on scams.

Can anyone else on this board say if they actually resolved this issue and got a refund back for the charges?

  • Just a note that MobShack tried to resolve this with me through ScamBook and offered me a settlement of $30. One day later, I received an email to my personal account stating that they would not be refunding me. Why go through all this trouble you might ask? This way it looks like they are trying to address my concerns and so it's posted as such here in the heading, but this is not the case.

    I hope more people become aware of the scam that they are running and be careful!

  • This is a scam and is not legal by any stretch of the imagination. I have reported them to the OPP and have been advised to report them also to phonebusters.com the online police scam squad.
