strange text messages?

Hello folks

Yesterday around 4 p.m., I (f/17) received a very strange text message from an "erotic hotline" that I was supposed to have called on June 10th, which I definitely didn't, since I don't have any credit anyway and my phone is set to anonymous. Now I have to pay a supposed €90 bill, and I'm completely desperate because I don't know where this text message came from.

what can I do?

In total, I would say: Rather inadmissible, simply ignore is also difficult. However, I would actually expect something to follow in writing.

In my opinion, you can actually ignore the SMS first, it does not meet the German requirements for the invoice and is therefore neither masonable nor otherwise.

Additional info: Making the phone anonymous is not a good justification, because the caller is still to be determined.

If you have called anonymously and without credit at an erotic hotline, then this demand may be legitimate and also demandable (what I want to say is that “anonym” and “no credit” are not valid arguments. “I didn’t call anywhere” is, of course, valid and absolutely sufficient.

Don’t pay what else?

There is not your name; because they don’t know because they don’t have a contract with you. So they don’t have anything to calculate – it’s just scraping, a fraud attempt.
