Just so everyone is aware.... Jamster is based out of the UK.


I had charges show up on my account from mBlox. THis is from jamster. My friend joined one of the other companies similar to Jamster & it was charged to his account. We called each company to cancel their program & they said we had to fax a request to the UK or send a text message to 35555/72222.

The text message has to say STOP for it to work.

Jamster is evil, but I don't feel sorry for the people who don't read the terms of things before signing up for service.

Don't forget that Jamster T&C state that you agree to a minium of 4 weeks of "service" 😈

It tells you plain as day to go to their website for more details. I know most people aren't "trained" to read disclosure statements, but that's still their responsibility. Luckily I've only had a handful of customers come in complaining about charges from these tv commercials, but all I can tell them to do is contact the service they signed up on if they'd wish to have the service stop. Third party billing may show up on a Cingular bill, but it's not something Cingular has charged you for.
