Unauthorized charges I have 3 phone number on my service provider account. My husband and myself are the ONLY authorized people to do ANYTHING through the provider. Yet my sons number has been charged more than $1000 in subscription or applications WITHOUT ANY AUTHORIZATION. I have emailed Boku 2x as instructed by my service provider. No reply as of today's date. How is this even possible? My service provider has now suspended our phones until we are able to clear all the accumulated charges

How is this allowed??? My teenage daughter had a £50 charge on her phone bill from Boku despite never signing up for anything. It seems from reading other reviews they like to target children. Ripping people off during the cost of living crisis is disgusting, thanks to them im now in my bank overdraft. I’ll be taking this further. Edit: So after contacting Boku they referred me to Apple who confirmed someone had used my daughters number to fraudulently buy digital goods from Apple through Boku. To say Boku dont care is an understatement. They absolutely couldn’t care less. They are happy to provide a payment service that is obviously easy to scam but they don’t want to take any responsibility when people have their hard earned money scammed from them. Disgusting company, ive reported them to Action Fraud.

Awful system Third party charges applied to account. Three directed me to Buku. Three partners made within a few mints of each other to Pjaystation. We do not have a PlayStation. Contacted customer services. Very aggressive woman who said that clearly we had given somebody the number and the authorisation code. Shocking phone manner and unwilling to consider alternatives. Text messages do not state that they are authorising payments or give any reference to money. Interesting that most of phones belong to children. I would love to know what is stopping anyone using someone else’s number to fraudulently make payments?
