262-358-8217

a text on my phone was sent to this number 262-358-8217
but i never texted this number but shows up on bill

After downloading a battery saver for my droid, a text from my phone was sent to  262-358-8217 , then an hour later a text was recieved from "0000084837" and I was charged $9.99 on my verizon bill.  No record of this activity ever showed up on my actual phone, only on my text log on line at verizonwireless, it was all done without my actions or consent.  Verizon credited this back, and helped me to remove the subscription by texting STOP in all capital letters to 84837, then an SMS block was put on all our lines so it can't happen again.  A follow up with  Verizon is set for after the next billing cycle to ensure it did stop, no confirmation text was ever recieved from them that it was stopped.  The company name associated with this code is "Questize Question Answering text alerts subscription" and the number is in Wisconsin.  
These people are charging and making money off of unsuspecting people who simply download a free droid application.  Verizon needs to protect it's customers a LOT better.  It's Bull S---!!!!

Same thing happened to my daughter.  Downloaded free Battery Pro app from the "Android Marketplace".  A text from her phone was some how sent automatically (not by her) to 262-358-8217, which subscribed her to the MoZoot application.  4 charges of $10 each appeared on my cell bill.  So much for the "FREE" application.  I wonder how many other people have been scammed by this?

I somehow did the same thing that your daughter did by downloading the free batter pro app. I am calling Bell tomorrow to get this rectified.

Yes, I got the same Battery Pro app  and got 3 text messages after that.  I called T-mobile and had my text messages blocked. Hate those scammers - just sat there doing nothing except trying to scam people. Getting tired of this scamming [***].
