I think their only recourse was that there was the asterisk with the subscription verbage in really tiny fine print that was only visible if you had an 80" projector TV
i was well below the age at which i could enter into a legally binding contract so there was also that. but we didnt fight it, we just threw the sim away and forgot about it
Lol I feel ya. My brother did something similar with an SMS catfact-esque subscription in the days where sms wasn’t free, our mom was about ready to kill him. Problem was that it billed to the carrier, and so it was like $10/month on top of per message fees, and the carrier didn’t bill it until like 6 months later
i bought akon - lonely from a TV ad when i was a young teenager for my polyphonic nokia.
what i didnt realise was it signed me up to a weekly £5 subscription and it racked up over £100 before my dad found out.
Had to abandon that number and get a new sim
Yeah I remember those subscription scams. Real scummy stuff

The massive block of fine print at the bottom of the screen. Things my preteen self would not take notice of.
