Automatic Subscription SCAM at Ooredoo Mobile Phones

Have anyone become a victim of these scams at Ooredoo mobile phone, never intentionally subscribe, but unilaterally subscribed to a service and charged from our Hala balance?

I have received several SCAMs up to now, but my Hala balance deducted without my permission.

Maybe these companies make a trick, making me subscribe unilaterally only by clicking something when I browse internet or when I click "close" button on advertisement, I never know.

But I believe Ooredoo should do action protecting customers from these scams.

I have reported by calling 111 and by posting help in Community in the internet.

Community responded better by helping unsubscribing me from those scam subscription, while 111 operators basically could do nothing to help.

Below is the list of scams I received recently by sms

As per from ooredoo Services just send an SMS. Just text "Unsub all" to 92600, so to stop all this bulk SMS being slammed by spam.
