    Pump King seems to be throwing a wobbly today.

    Had 8 price messages in the last 10 mins!

    Getting rather annoying ...

    Update had another 2 messages as I was typing this!

    If any of you feel short you can have some of mine.

    Are they going to keep this up unil the battery in my phone goes flat?

    No point in phoning them to tell them I suppose. Just hope they are being charged plenty for sending them out.  Might open their eyes to what pillocks they are.

    I tried to log on to Pump Kings web site which it says in under maintainance so that may well be the cause.

    I tried to block them however need the number to block and cannot find it!

    Perhaps we can have a competition to see who gets the most messages with PK giving ear plugs for the prize?

    Yes, they keep coming.  I think someone has left their finger on the button!!  Ridiculous!  

    It reminds me of the early days of CT before first posts were moderated.  We used to get lots of spam.  We had an 'attack' one morning when we were inundated with duplicate spam posts.  I remember sitting in McDonald's car park at Appleby Magna trying to delete them, but they were coming in quicker than could be Deleted User.  Other moderators were doing the same thing elsewhere.  Memories!!!  😀😀

    This is beyond a joke as now on message 17!  Last week we didn't bother with using the card at the Esso fuel station as it takes 7 days for my account to be debited!  I will keep it for big fill ups.

    Also the Pumpkin website has disappeared so cannot change the number or delete it?  Just states that "no site detected"?

    .....I wonder if companies have to pay to send out texts!  😀  Although it's probably done by computer.  Sounds like good news!!!  😉

    Now on text 31 and counting!  Eventually turned down the volume so could not hear the notification noise. 

    I am sure that under this is harassment and Pump King can be charged under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997!  That will give them something to think about!

    Esso card applications now seem to go to a different company. Suggests pump king site is not just under maintenance.

    Take a look on Trust pilot reviews to see what people think of this company, I don't know why the club ever got involved with Pump King, I'm afraid to use the card now I have it in fear of more cock-ups, today Pump king are sending out texts with this weeks prices, like many others I received over 60 texts messages today alone and there still coming, Their rubbish

    Is someone taking the Michael at pump king or just getting over excited because they’ve dropped the price slightly first time since Christmas. Only sent me and the wife 61 texts each.

    In some ways I just hope that Rowena, Laura and others at CaMC, (if they were daft enough to sign up in the first place), are also getting these texts. They will then realise first hand what a bunch of idiots are running PumpKing and why those of us that signed up are so critical of the whole operation. It would be nice to think that one of them has a PK contact number that they could phone and get this stupidity stopped. It's now far beyond a joke.

    I'm waiting for a fairly important text so I can't just ignore the phone every time it pings with a text.

    Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.  Even tried to type STOP as a reply to the texts, but it comes up as 'not delivered'.   They continue to arrive.......

    There is a a great deal of negative feedback on the Trustpilot website today about the same issue.

    So far I've tried to block the texts, by entering the phone number in my contacts in my iphone, and then blocking the caller.   But they continue to arrive.

    Interestingly when you use the instructions to block the message on the iphone, by going into the details at the top of the message, the block this caller does not work.  

    UPDATE

    I closed everything that was open in my iphone and reopened  the messaging and noticed a switch to ' hide notifications' for this message.   It appears to have stopped.
