Strange text messages nonstop Solved

Question

Hello,

For several days now, I have been receiving messages like "Benoit, 22 years old, wants to meet you and can't leave you his number, call 0899781646 with the code 632282!" (€1.35 + €0.34 per minute)
Well, I thought I would receive one and that's it.
But I'm getting several a day! "It's Benoit, remember me? Call me back at 08... please!" "You read Benoit's message at 1:26 PM, call him to say yes or no!"

By the way, while I'm writing this message I just received "Benoit, 22, left you his number this Friday morning, note the beginning of the number (067774) then call 08.... to see what happens next!"

This summer in July, I had the same thing with "Cécile wants to see you," for about two months, but the messages were scary like "I'm in the parking lot of your work, call 08... to tell me when you finish so I can meet you in front of your car" or "I just crossed paths with you and you didn't get my number! Call and I'll turn back so we can see each other!"

Anyway, very creepy and annoying all of this!
Do you know how to stop receiving these messages?
I have never signed up for a dating chat or anything like that since I've been married longer than I have had this number...

Thank you for your help.

Goulmie · Accepted Answer

It worked, thank you!!  I received a text message "You will no longer receive messages from our services"   Thanks again!   [Resolved]

flo74700 · Answer

You must sign up on a dating site, that's what it means to leave your phone number lying around anywhere.

ditlaime · Answer

I have the same thing without putting my number anywhere... between 5 and 7 texts a day since yesterday!! It's unacceptable to have to send a text for this! It's an intolerable practice!

sirène · Answer

I keep receiving the same text message from Benoit, 22 years old, and I just want to know where to send the STOP to make it stop harassing me. Thank you for your help.

Souchy · Answer

I notice that I'm not the only one receiving this kind of text message.
Either this 'Benoit' is a crazy flirt, or it's a scheme to get people
to call/text and collect some money.

There's no way it's a dating site; I rather think it’s a site that got your
number and sold it to a third party (a fairly common practice of selling personal info).

As for me, I’m going to let 'Benoit 22 years old' send texts (anyway,
I receive one a day; it’s not that annoying yet)...

flo74700 · Answer

you will notice still considering the responses on the forum that:
women receive messages from boys,
and men receive messages from women.

This means that the sending (even multiple) is still targeted.
This means that at some point or another you registered on the internet.

It should be noted that when you accept the general conditions on a forum, a website, etc., this includes that the partners of this site can exploit the data.

So I sign up, for example, on a motorcycle site, which is a partner of Meetic.
My desire is to be able to talk about motorcycles with other people through this site, but Meetic can retrieve my information.

Coureurdefond · Answer

It's a scam to make you spend your credit. Send STOP to the number displayed. If it continues, go see a consumer association. It's harassment.

davdo · Answer

Hi. Thanks for asking the question like that, I was able to send STOP as well. For about 15 days, I kept receiving a lot of messages from Benoît, 22 years old, who really wanted to meet me. He seemed desperate to see me. The thing is, I’m a guy so he must be bi! There was also Cécile, 28 years old, and Sylvie, 40 years old, who was alone for the weekend because her husband was away! In fact, they are hosts of a kind of phone sex service. In one of the messages I received, he offered me a duet with Sylvie. It should also be noted that when you send STOP, the message is free.

gini5gc · Answer

Like everyone else, I received messages from Benoit, I sent Stop by SMS in response to this famous Benoit's text. It worked, I no longer receive messages from this guy.  Flo 74700 said that the SMS was targeted, but that's false because I’m a guy, definitely heterosexual, so the targeting is not great.  However, I don't know if it's coincidence, but it seems to me that these texts started after I registered on Copain d'avant.  If we are several in this situation, there might be an action to take against l'internaute.com for abusing our personal information.  If that’s not it, it’s a bunch of "super" friends who sign up on dating (or hookup) sites and, to avoid being bothered by this type of message, gave out our numbers.  And a big thank you to coureurdefond.

bene399 · Answer

WELL! I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one being attacked by that famous Benoit!! I'm going to hurry up and say STOP!!!! Do you know what site this could be from??

Flo · Answer

Hello

I have exactly the same problem except that for me Stop doesn't work!! They tell me: "TOPSMS sorry we did not understand your request, your cancellation cannot be processed. Contact us: hotline.mobile@indexmultimedia.com"

I emailed them a week ago but still no response!

I'm starting to get fed up, I receive at least 6 a day

If you have any other solutions, thank you

yysh · Answer

Ah, it relieves me to read that. I was also thinking about spam, but after the 15th message, I started to freak out, especially since if you listen, there’s a guy who talks saying he saw you—anyway, it’s something out of a psycho thriller. Such methods seem more than questionable regarding the law, don't they?

davdo · Answer

I couldn't unsubscribe either. So, I sent them a pretty scathing email threatening to seek advice from a consumer association. Since then, no news!

Coureurdefond · Answer

Congratulations

Yohan M · Answer

Thank you very much for the "STOP" tip; it protects my fiancée from being harassed by this "Benoit." It's true that this sales method is more than questionable...

BENOIT TOURNE TOI · Answer

""STOP" in uppercase works really well. A big THANK YOU I was fed up with this harassment. I think they are breaking the law with their methods...  Best wishes to everyone.

satpalram · Answer

I already posted here, it's been two months that this has been going on, about one message every 2 days, today's message:

"Tuesday, May 20: Benoit left his phone again this morning for the 6th time (call him during the day). Phone the ... code ... and note his phone number..."

Anonymous user · Answer

Congratulations on the response: STOP

I have been receiving the same message about Benoit for quite some time!!!!

I clicked: reply

I wrote: STOP

then I sent it.

In return, here is what I received:

TOPSMS (free message) You will no longer receive messages from our service.

Thanks again.

gis · Answer

As for you, can you identify the source of those texts? Because for me, it cost me a huge bill.

yoz · Answer

Hello, I am also "harassed" by the tenacious Benoît. Can someone formally say whether the SMS STOP sent in response to the SMS sender (changing numbers: 10078, 20270, 10121, 10122...) is premium or not? Someone who has done it and checked their bill I'm specifically talking about the number from which the SMS originates, not the number mentioned in the SMS (08...). SFR (my operator) claims to be unable, probably in bad faith, to respond to me. I refuse to play along and send STOP if it benefits the damned company that engages in these practices. I keep the SMS and will not hesitate to attempt an action through a consumer association if the response STOP turns out to be premium.

fabnice · Answer

Hello, I've been receiving these messages for a week! I just sent STOP upon reading the subject and I'm waiting for a response.

catou · Answer

I have had an ORANGE subscription for months and I keep receiving very suspicious texts that I strongly dislike. I got in touch with ORANGE customer service, who had me send a STOP message to stop these incessant messages. Unfortunately, as of today, it is only getting worse. Rest assured, I am not looking to meet anyone in this way. So I count on you to do what is necessary to permanently stop these messages to my number 0637495298 as I am only 10 years old and my mother does not like this at all. Thank you in advance.

looping68 · Answer

Hello, I was receiving messages every 10 minutes from Elodie, Valerie, Martine... Since I was fed up with these texts, and my wife was too, I sent at least 10 "stop" replies to their messages, and they kept coming and even increased. So I sent them an email saying that I was going to file a complaint for harassment and that I would contact the consumer association. They replied by email saying that I needed to send them my phone number and my operator. They got back to me saying that the necessary actions had been taken... Since then, nothing.  Regards

oliv · Answer

Hello   Since yesterday, we've been receiving at least one message per hour which is becoming annoying. I've sent more than 10 stop messages and called SFR twice, they can't do anything! I have to wait until tomorrow to call the technical service.  Where did you send your email???   Thank you for responding.

Yoann · Answer

Hello, I also had the same problem with lMarielle :), I just sent the stop message to 10122 and I received in return: "PUB SMS. You will no longer receive messages from our service", so I think the problem is resolved as of today. P.S.: send the message "stop" to the last number that sent you the ad (that is 10122 for me). Good luck.

lau · Answer

I no longer want to receive dating chat SMS.

weird!!!!

Sms MMs Ras'le bol · Answer

Hello everyone, The problem is the same... However, I refuse to pay for a service that I absolutely did not request. I am ready to file a complaint and get reimbursed for the texts (because I did send some at first to stop). I even replied "CONTACT" to get their address and landline number, of course, it starts with 08! I find it shameful that they dare to send this kind of messages, whether it’s Eve or Pierre, I don’t care! Where is the protection for minors??? I'm really fed up. My daughter is even afraid to pick up her phone! If you have an address or anything else so that I can contact the association to put an end to their money-making scheme that is ruining our lives, please let me know, thank you in advance.

INDEX MULTIME DIA - Antenne TAKTIL · Answer

This comes from the company Index Multimedia based in Toulouse (head office)
I worked for them and indeed they send SPAM to all mobile phone owners - all you have to do is download, for example, a ringtone with your mobile and they retrieve your phone number to harass you; all of this is of course false - these messages are then animated by hosts on the company Index Multimedia's channels - there is a channel in Toulouse under the name TAKTIL
Attack them because all of this is false, you will never see anyone, and believe me, they manage a huge amount of audiotel numbers - fortune-telling - websites etc., and all of this is just animated by people paid to pretend to be ordinary people like you and me looking for a connection

Moreover, the director of the company is named Mr. Vincent Levy.

FORET · Answer

I read you long after the start of your conversations, yes it's frustrating to constantly receive these messages, I put my phone on vibrate for more discretion in my professional life, I’ve noticed as a woman, I sometimes listen to sexual confessions, freedom to fantasize even if my love life is quite fulfilled, smile, and in the following days I therefore notice these disturbing messages..... they stop after a few days, but it can be detrimental and affect freedom,,,?????

friemeldotje · Answer

It must be one of your friends who did this to you.

celut · Answer

Salut, I also had that kind of problem. To make it stop, you need to send "stop" to the same number that's harassing you. You should receive a message saying your request has been taken into account and you will no longer receive messages from us. There you go, just ask.

Daniel26 · Answer

Thank you, it (STOP) also works with the 72020.

eldarnoir13 · Answer

Hi, I have the same problem, messages coming in all over the place, it's so annoying. I sent STOP and I received a message saying: "your request has been processed, you will no longer receive messages from 10133" and within half an hour I get another message like that but from a different number. Originally, I sent an SMS to that number to get an app from the KKO club if anyone knows it, and then it turned into this kind of crap messages... the STOP messages cost €3.35 and I've already sent 3 and I'm still receiving them. If anyone has a miracle remedy... otherwise, an address to file a complaint because it's becoming more and more frequent, 3-4 per day, it's worse than harassment.

Mehdi · Answer

keep the text messages in memory and file a complaint with the gendarmerie, the company INDEX MULTIMEDIA is already very well known for its spam to scam users. They do the same thing with their ringtone platform (which they copied from zaoza by the way) 123club, a lot of spam sent all at once. It's disgraceful but if no one says anything they continue until a complaint is filed.

caline17++!!!A!!!! · Answer

I constantly receive the same two messages and can no longer chat or receive my contacts.

caline17++!!!A!!!! · Answer

Could you make it so that I can chat again and receive messages?

setsouko · Answer

Hello,
I also receive texts from Madeleine, Nicole.....and many others for a few days now. It's driving me crazy!!
I found this article online:

The 33700 is a service launched by the Secretary of State for Consumption, Luc Chatel. It allows you to report any spam or unwanted SMS.

This service was launched on November 15, 2008, and nearly 200,000 reports of fraudulent SMS have been made.
The results are convincing as 150 SMS services have been blocked.

How does it work?
As soon as you receive an abusive SMS on your mobile, you can report it in seconds by forwarding it via SMS to the number 33700.

Step 1: You receive an abusive message via SMS.

Step 2: You forward this SMS as is to the number 33700.

Step 3: You receive a message from 33700 inviting you to complete your report by sending back to 33700 the number from which you received this abusive SMS (to facilitate processing, send only the number, without adding any comments before or after).

Step 4: You receive a message from 33700 confirming that the report is complete.

How much does it cost?
Sending an SMS to 33700 is charged at the normal SMS rate (not premium). It is included in the mobile operators' plans.

I have forwarded the fraudulent texts hoping that it works!!! And that it can help you!!
Have a good evening.

edufour · Answer

send STOP to the number that sends this kind of SMS. Hoping that the sender number doesn't change every time....

gibellule · Answer

It doesn't work, the "stop" I constantly receive it and also video invitations... I never signed up for this kind of site... and Virgin simply tells me to change my number... I don't want to, it's them who are bothering me, so it's not up to me to get rid of it...

popo · Answer

report to 33700 (note the number we are supposed to respond to, never the same of course... but above all do not respond.) same problem for me, 100 SMS in 2 hours today still not resolved...

thonine · Answer

Hello, I was looking for information online and I ended up here..  Exactly the same problem on my husband's mobile; we can't take it anymore and "can't" is an understatement, plus it's a work line. No subscriptions to anything, we never give our number. And if we have to provide a number on any site for an order, we always give a fake number like 060000000.. so we have no idea where this is coming from!  And our texts or MMS come either from numbers like 22 222 or directly from mobile numbers that of course we can't call or even send texts to or anything else..  Tried the famous "stop" dozens and dozens of times! Stop to what, we don't know because it keeps persisting...  The messages, all the same or almost "Lola is super hot after seeing you, she wants to contact you, blah blah..." or "Well, you’re not calling me back, you promised, I need your help, call me at 08...."  How to fight this when the numbers sending these texts are always different?? We don't know what to do anymore..

max martin · Answer

For me, no problem. The next message of this kind that I receive: 1- I am filing a complaint with the prosecutor for harassment and fraud with a request for damages 2- My complaint will be personally directed against the CEO of the concerned company; indeed, it hurts much more to sue a natural person than a legal entity 3- When will we, you and I, stop being treated and fleeced like sheep? The only solution is to hit the wallet of these fraudulent companies.

Tortue Labouré · Answer

Coucou, I also had the same problem, so I sent STOP to the number of the line that was harassing me, and I received: "Your unsubscription request has been processed. You will no longer receive messages from this service. (non-premium SMS)" Thank you so much to everyone who helped me; you saved my plan ^^
