Fuze Forge? Getting notifications saying I'm subscribed and being charged $4.99/week.

As the title says, getting texts saying I'm subscribed to Fuze Forge and being charged $4.99/week for a subscription. No idea what it is. I've heard of similar scams with these services that charge to your phone bill and claim you subscribed. I don't see the money/charge on my account but curious if anyone has seen anything similar and how they handled it. Thanks.

Sounds like a scam @bb709 . Ignore it, or block the number if coming from the same number.

Ensure not to click any links or reply. If you did, perhaps you should change important passwords on accounts.

Is your phone working okay.

This has nothing to do with your Public Mobile account or services, @bb709

Best not to, in any way, reply or acknowledge anything they send.

Block the number.

@bb709

No one can charge your pm account (scam or otherwise)as there is no extra billing, overages or fees with public mobile. Just label as spam and block.

Seems like a spike in scams after Christmas on home phone, text but not mobile calls.

Do you know what number the texts are coming from? Bottom line don’t respond to texts or open any urls.
