FWIW this was their reply - and as yet, no phone call as promised...
they also appear to be "dodging" the concept that it's their number by
saying they will contact the company responsible...

Keywords for the benefit of search engines:
83023 84025 2ergo expanding vision premium rate text message spam
PO BOX 139 LA3 2WU savamob contact email
I received a call from the "company reponsible" earlier today, who say
I have not been charged for the message, and that they contract 2ergo
to put the messages out for them.
The call came from "Expanding Vision" http://www.expandingvision.co.uk
and the only number they were willing to give out was 0871 474 2708
I spoke to Adele, and she sounded uncomfortable when I asked for a
non-premium rate number and said that was the only number they had.
Sadly I missed the opportunity and should have asked for their mobile
numbers...
I asked for the company registration number and data protection
registration number and she was unable to give me either. I suggested
a company letterhead would have the company reg. but she said they'd
just moved office and didn't have one to hand... err...
Their new postcode is apparently LA1 9GN but ukdata.com shows what
appears to be their "old" address of...
Company Details - EXPANDING VISION LIMITED Registered No.04730942
Address:
CITY LABS 4-6 DALTON SQUARE, LANCASTER, LANCASHIRE, LA1 1PP
Status:
Small unquoted company filing only an abbreviated balance sheet
Adele's email address is her first name @expandingvision.co.uk and the
directors' is "morris" at the same.
The reason i've put this much info into the post is in case anyone
else needs to track the buggers down :-p
I just noticed that the PO BOX 139 LA3 2WU address they give out also
returns links for SavaMob who were running an apparently identical
scam^H^H "scheme" since at least September 2005.
A recent adjudication against 2ergo can be found here, they were fined
£15,000 and access to the service was barred for 9 months (premium
rate "you have won a competition" without warning of call costs etc)

Thanks for the info.
Strange though, you're replying 3 days before I posted. Looks like
your clock is wrong.

Well, so it is! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, not something
I often check.
