Thanks for reporting on this scam. The only problem is that there are legitimate ways to get free iPads, (referral marketing, known about for donkey’s years) that has sufferred due to these scammers.

Surely the cell phone providers should have picked up on this and prevented it? They must have known before anyone else?

Presumably, PhonepayPlus – “the organisation that regulates phone-paid services in the UK” – should be shutting down these scammers who subscribe users to premium rate services without advertising their pricing correctly.

Per their site, you can make a formal complaint by:
Completing the online form on its website – http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk
Calling its freephone helpline – 0800 500 212
Writing to PhonepayPlus at Freepost, WC5468, London SE1 2BR

Penalties include:
Ordering the service provider to pay reasonable and valid claims for compensation
Imposing fines of up to £250,000 for each breach of the Code
