[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Tim Googling for v762.net brings up a number of complaints similar to yours, over quite a long time period. E.g. http://www.wirelessforums.org/uk-telecom-mobile/strange-phone-message-30 064.html http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/254733000866 Those suggest that there may be a Kenyan connection, 1und1 just being the people who sold the domain name. (Oh, and the Google cache - I'm *not* going direct to the website, thanks, suggests that the v762.net website just says what I take to be "under construction" in German!) I can't see any sign that anyone has been successful in stopping them at source, and the mobile companies don't seem to have been much help :-( Good luck Andrew -- Andrew Cormack, Chief Regulatory Adviser JANET(UK), Lumen House, Library Avenue, Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Didcot, OX11 0SG, UK Phone: +44 (0) 1235 822302 Fax: +44 (0) 1235 822399-----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tim Trent Sent: 22 April 2008 08:36 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Help. My mobile phone has been taken over! I have just entered the 21st century. I have changed my mobile contract and got a new phone that has video capability. And suddenly, out of the blue, I am getting video messages arrive from unnamed senders in my phone. They come from http://w03.v762.net which is registered as below. The messages are videos, which doubtless cost me money that I do not choose to spend, and are videos that I most assuredly do not want domain: v762.net created: 05-Jul-2007 last-changed: 05-Jul-2007 registration-expiration: 05-Jul-2008 nserver: ns55.1und1.de nserver: ns56.1und1.de status: CLIENT-TRANSFER-PROHIBITED registrant-firstname: Markus registrant-lastname: Schmitz registrant-organization: Venista Holding GmbH & Co.

I have emailed the relevant email address, but see no hope of a reply. Vodafone tells me that I will have to pay any charges associated with these messages - messages that I do not want and never asked for - and that I have no hope of recovering the costs or of not paying. I must reply with "STOP" to the sender. But there is no "reply" option to the messages!
