Happen to me last month. Complain to Celcom but said need to contact the content provider.
When I spoke to them via phone they refuse to refund.

Finally complained to SKMM stating what transpired between Celcom and content provider. After a week an aknowldegemet email was received from SKMM investigation will be conducted.

Within the same month Celcom send an email nofitying the disputed amount has been refunded.

Adding my own experience with sms scam, it's unique because I suspect that I automatically got subscribed to the scam by registering my phone number with "Carousell". You have to register a phone number to verify your account just like registering a new email.

The fraudulent sms came within seconds of clicking the confirm/affirmation button, it came even before the sms with pin used to verify my account arrived.

The fraudulent sms I got first was:
QUOTE
RM0 TQ for subscribing to History from Belive. Sub at RM4.00/week for 3 sms/week is successful. Sub renewal: 14/08/18. To cancel, dial *365*612#. Info: 03-77859488

I ignored it as I did most weird junk messages. I didn't suspect anything was wrong until I got another sms the next day.
QUOTE
Received on 8 Aug 10:21
RM0Photographer Iain Macmillan Takes an Iconic Photograph of the Beatle, made it one of the most recognizable images of 20th century..

RM4 credit was deducted for a lame sms with random statement that I didn't subscribed to in the first place ranting.gif

Apparently my silence was deemed to be acceptance, this is of course isn't right or legal in general.

Took some time and found the "proper" way to handle this matter.

According to MCMC I should follow the "Complaint Circle".

https://www.mcmc.gov.my/make-a-complaint/complaint-circle
user posted image

Generally that's how it should work.

My experience personally is that you should skip CMCF, I had issues with their online complaint form, it didn't work at all, I am not even sure if my complaint I sent about it not working was sent. For CFM, their "how to complaint " page has big bolded red letters referring you directly to SKMM and clicking on it does just that, for a while I wondered why I should go through CFM and not just complaint directly to SKMM...

I reported the matter to my telecommunications provider (Celcom), Carousell and SKMM in order but in the same hour or so. My complaint for all three is roughly:
QUOTE
I just registered to https://my.carousell.com/ today. While registering, one of the steps was to verify my phone number. I received the sms almost immediately after sending my phone number via their website, it was received even faster than the verification code sms. The purpose of giving them my phone number was to verify that I am the person registering, just like bank TACs. It is not to subscribe to a fraudulent scheme. A check on my credit balance showed RM4 had been deducted. I had not subscribed to any such thing. How could I be charged for this without my consent? Silence is not acceptance, it is illegal unless I express my consent actively. This is clearly fraudulent. It is ridiculous to have to reply to every such kind of message so not be charged continuously.

The next day I received a reply from my telco:
QUOTE
Hi, Hello Mr (REDACTED),

Thank you for your e-mail.

Reference is made to your concern raised via Contact Us Form, pertaining to the above matter.

We wish to inform that the content Believe from shortcode 33611 has been unsubscribed on (REDACTED).

However, if you wish to stop the subscription and/or request for rebate from Belive Mobile Sdn Bhd/33611, you will need to contact or email the content provider directly at 327879143 or customerservice@belivemobile.com.

It is hoped that the above could clarify the situation and we appeal for your kind understanding in this circumstance.

Best regards,

(REDACTED)
Customer Service & Experience

Good news is my telco has stopped it, bad news is that I have to deal with the scammers myself for my rebate? ranting.gif I didn't do anything as I have already made a complaint to SKMM. Few days later I received this:
QUOTE
Hi Mr (REDACTED)

Content from shortcode 33611

Please be informed that the subscription for 33611 Belive has been deactivated as requested on (REDACTED).

Kindly be informed that rebate amounting RM4 for the content charges has been granted on (REDACTED) for the number (REDACTED).

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Best regards

(REDACTED)

Customer Service & Experience

cc:

1. Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC)

2. Head, Regulatory and Government Affairs - Celcom Axiata Berhad

To simplify, you should generally complain to your telecommunication provider first i.e. for billing or services issues and then escalate the matter to the higher authorities if it isn't solved. However for complex cases like repeating scams that involve numerous parties there should be an exception and SKMM should be informed from the beginning. The parties are:

The website with suspected security issues in registration system (Carousell), the scammer (Belive Mobile Sdn Bhd), telecommunications provider (my telco is Celcom but should depend on what number you used to verify with) and SKMM.

RM4 doesn't seem like a lot of money but it adds up to a significant amount for every victim that didn't complain or fought for their refund.

I am writing a complain to Digi, as my friend and my phone Digi prepaid kept on been charged for unknown charges.

for myself, i seen this
"tryitgame" for RM2.50 a few times in the online itemized charges.

For my friend, they have this i-message sent to UK (not sure it is something like a iphone security system, sms to be sent once you switch on phone. Altho this is disable, but somehow some charges still applied.)

So any of u have this similar problem?

I also got charged by Umobile in my last bill. Feel so innocent cause I never do anything with SMS, never reply any and send any.

Kena charged at section VAS/Contents Download from "28132_Techninier_GL" for 4 times RM3 each in last month.

What the hell, super easy money for them.

If you check DiGi Community forum, got people complained about the 'tryitgame' thingy.
DiGi will only tell you to deal with CP directly.
If you still encounter the 'tryitgame' issue, you may direct your complain to them.

CS Support
Email: cs@mobiniumtech.com
Careline: 03-7621 1027

Can ask for refund from them.

**how i know, because i also kena this before.

I had contacted Celcom previously through Facebook Messenger and he/she told that the service has been unsubscribed, but I still received the subscription anyway after that. End up I just send the STOP message to the number in the SMS. I haven't received any similar SMS after that. Maybe you can try that. smile.gif

I had not received since they help me subscribe. But the problem is why they can auto-subscribe and deduct our money by themselves without our permission, this is SCAM case that y i want to complaint them kao kao. and some more for previously deduction they operator told me are still valid I still need to pay those money deducted before. WTF with this Celcom.

Received an SMS on Monday evening from 32324:
"RM0: Successful registration. No subscription fee. Price:RM4.00/SMS .7 SMS/Week.Renewal on 11/26/2018. To cancel, send STOP HS to 32324."

Checked credit. 15 sen mysteriously missing, left RM4.85. I had RM5 on this number which I'm using for cheap data. No proof that this SMS caused the missing amount as I didn't check for some time. Ignored because it might be wrongly sent. I had TAC for XOX app registration sent to my number few days prior probably by mistake (You have to manually input the phone number).

10 minutes later XOX sent repeating SMS telling my account has no available credit. Panicked. Rechecked credit. 85 sen left!

Immediately called XOX CS. He immediately confirmed it was scam number for premium SMS service (What the heck is 'premium SMS'?!). Asked if I wanted this incident to be reported for refund of RM4. Of course! Still waiting for refund. Will report SKMM if taking too long.
