   Charges phones as a method of payment for Facebook credits purchases - these credits can be used on apps etc. Not trustworthy, can run up large bills easily.

   Investigator Boku reported Scam (Accounts fraud) with the number ‎08081202341 as Cost trap

   2/5/13, 1:22 PM

   This number is used by Boku, a phone collection service (based in San Fransico, USA - with supposedly Europe wide offices) that collects "subscriptions" from, normally inadvertantly, "subscribing" to on-line adverts, messages and web sites. Boku send you a confirmation text, using this number, to tell you that you have just subscribed again.
   
   What happens is that you click on a message or advert that is sent to you:-
   
   In my mate's case it was a Singles Dating advert on Facebook called AYI, "Are You Interested".
   The plonker clicks on "yes" under the photo of a young girl and is then charged £10 per month by AYI and £10 per month collection charge. The guy is on a contract so he doesn't see the money go out until next month. Queries it with the phone company, who say "you must of subscribed to something on-line via the phone" - It's just a normal transaction to them, they are only doing as they are told by you.
   
   Use this link to find out how to unsubscribe to AYI, (basically delete it under the 'privacy' heading:

   So as adults: remember - don't be seduced by young girls on Facebook; don't use Facebook while your drunk; check your phone bill regularly, face up to your stupidity. . . . and have an honest relationship with your children if THEY do get caught subscribing to something like this on-line. You can't change what's happened but they can learn from their mistakes. . . and pay off the money they rack up on the phone. My mate buys me a beer every week with gratitude.
