Content services trying to subscribe me without permission

Anyone else getting these messages? The block is working, but it's quite concerning that this has happened 2 days in a row.

Do you have kids playing on your phone?

Not at all.

Looked it up and it's apparently very common on Vodacom.

Indeed., I had this issue with Vodacom. I had to go in to get content services blocked twice. No idea why it isn't blocked by default. Skelm *****.

My daughters phone, eish, she plays games, we end up with the cold calls and attempts to content services on her phone and our lte router..

Scummy stuff.

I posted this same thing a week or 2 back in the Vodacom section. It gets even worse, I now also get popups asking you to press 1 to remove the block. The popup seems to happen only when I have Tapatalk open, not sure if there are some dodgy ads on the app? Usually after I cancel the popup I also get an sms. Highly annoying.
