Re: SMS premium rate spam from 78181 (Orange UK)
I received a charge I cd not accept on my T-Mobile account. I had no
trace of receiving the message into my phone in box. T-mobile advise it
was from 81690 tanlamobile and I was advised to contact them. An email
to them brings back a link to their site which requires a log in
password and user which i do not have. Seems strange that companies are
allowed to send unsolicited messages to consumers and raise a charge
without fear of it bing rejected by the service provider! If they do
that a million times it becomes a nice earner for someone. Tanla
meanwhile are investigating.

Goto <http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/> (the new name for ICSTIS) and
report them. Tanla were recently fined £50,000 by ICSTIS for premium
rate scams, it sounds like the fine wasn't enough to deter them.
And go here to see other adjudications against Tanla:
