OneBip text scam?
So I got a random fucking text saying that I had "registered" for some music service called BipMusic, and they had charged 29.95 for registering. I instantly smelt bullshit, and entered their "stop number" to cut myself from the service. HOWEVER, the stop number wound up texting me 20 times saying I had "transferred" 5 dollars to my OneBip account, which I never registered for either. I DID call Fido and they said to text STOP to the transfer number, and it stopped. Now I'm worried that I'm going to get a massive bill next month for something I never bought into. Fido mentioned the transfer number was for "social media gaming",which is bullshit since I never play those Farmville-type games.
I'm not sure if the Fido rep carried it out, but he claimed he put a note on my account saying something about the spam. Has anyone EVER seen a similar scam appear in their inboxes? Will Fido waive any charges incurred, and for that matter, has anyone ever heard of this fucking company (it's a supposed PayPal on phone thing).
Fail me if you want, but I never wanted to buy into this shit, and this is the first time I've ever felt genuinely scammed. I merely followed instructions, but somehow it bit me in the ass (probably the bait). If anyone can offer advice, it's greatly appreciated.
