Tap Gamez unsolicited SMS

[mgee]

I just received these two SMS from this number: +1 978-920-3

Never signed up for anything and haven't downloaded any new apps in a long long time. Pretty curious as to how this is possible. I've responded with STOP and forwarded the details to the ACMA. Is there anything else I should do?

Optus sends your phone number to them, when you browse their web page.

Hey mgee, have a read over this page here for more info on premium content services. 

If you never signed up for anything, come through our Customer Care chat and we can dispute the charges.

Cheers,

Jordan

Same thing happened to me this weekend, shocked to see my bill with additional 45 bucks for Tap Gamez which I did not subsribe.

I hope someone from optus can help me dispute these charges.
