Complaint Review: Blinko

After reviewing my cell bill I noticed I was charged for a download service. I contacted my carrier and was told that a company called BLINKO had charged my phone for downloads. My carrier told me I needed to send a text message to 42222 and STOP or UNSCRIB to the service, when I did I received a text msg back stating "You are not subscribed to any of our services and need to call our customer care". When I called the 800 customer care number it was all automated. I was told that I needed to complet the form on their web site in order for someone to contact me.

My cell carrier, Verizon credited my account thanks to a supervisor who knew of this problem and put a bloc on my phone so I could not receive text msgs from this company.

I had never heard of this company nor did I subscribe to any services from them. This company BLINKO needs to be stopped from ripping people off.
