    Zamanoed this morning at 9 trying to exit an annoying pop-up on my phone, don't know how it happened, got a message that said I was charged 15 euro for six babe videos and got six texts in a row, emailed them (Zamano) and they refunded my Paypal by €15 euros this afternoon. But so annoying trying to resolve all this nonsense. Thank God for this thread I wouldn't have known where to start.

    I hope the €15 is all they have taken, I haven't got confirmation from my provider, 3, yet as to what has been taken from my bill.
    Also texted stop and got message saying I am unsubscribed from all future messages.

    I have no idea how they got my number, I was just exiting a pop-up.

    Chances are that it was a fake exit button and thats how they get you

    I lodged a complaint with ComReg in early 2017. They told me I couldn't proceed until I had pursued the matter with Zamano.

    So I sent Zamano the following:



    Zamano responded with a few screenshots from dodgy banner ads, and the following gibberish:



    This might have scared a teenage boy into submission, and many people don't have the energy to make proper complaints, but I don't visit websites with cr@p like that on them, and wouldn't be stupid enough to click on them if I did.

    I also had a lot of time on my hands in early 2017.

    So I then sent Comreg the following:



    Comreg replied with the following:




    This morning, upon seeing GavPJ's post I sent them the following:



    To which they responded:



    So there you have it.

    If the regulated body engages in systematic theft, and a single victim notices this theft and has he time and energy to pursue it, and the regulated body then returns the money to this single individual, the regulatory authority is not in a position to pursue the matter because this is a perfectly adequate resolution.

    Frankly I feel like a fool for not setting up a company to steal money in this manner. How many millions have Zamano made from those who don't know how to stand up for themselves?

    Of course if I went to the Guards with this they'd tell me it's a matter for ComReg.

    And people will tell you with a straight face that Ireland is capable of regulating Facebook.

    Comreg are as useful as tits on a bull.

    Also let’s ban premium calls. No decent business needs it.
