Just a quick question to see if any other members subscribed to the Pump-King for fuel discounts.

I receive text messages each week however this morning I have received at least 30 in the last 1/2 hour. I am unable to block on my phone. Also their website has now down.

Is anyone receiving these text messages or know what is happening

Thanks

Just for your information, you are most definitely not alone. Other members have been inundated with messages.

I managed to block the phrase "weekly fuel price" on my phone. I didn't even complete the registration process once they wanted my credit card number. Pleased I didn't. I have sent them an email to unsubscribe me.

How do I make a compliment or complaint to the Caravan and Motorhome Club?
We accept compliments and complaints verbally and in writing.

If you wish to telephone, please call 01342 326 944 (Monday to Friday 9am-5.30pm) and ask to speak to the relevant department. Please note you may be encouraged to write in to The Club if further information is required, or if the case is complex.

So it seems not. I was wondering if they could at least try and contact PK to make it stop. Peace now reigns but still no Pump-King website.

Yes, Terrible company to deal with. I've had over 70 texts this morning.

Their website is down (again) and from the looks of the front page, it may have been hacked. I would suggest to anyone that uses this company to keep an eye on their registered payment card, as details may have been stolen.

Texts are still arriving as I type this, very annoying as I have had to put my phone on silent. I haven't found a way of blocking them yet on an iPhone. Usually you can add to a contact and block it but that hasn't worked for me. They are using the following number to text.

7867 5464. Probably why it cannot be blocked.

This company is nothing but trouble and I would avoid at all cost.

Just look at their reviews onTrustPilot. (especially this morning)
