Title: Sum Up
Post by: Alex on May 14, 2022, 10:24:23 AM
Has anyone heard of this organization I'm a little puzzled....
I bought a new mattress on Tuesday, I paid with my Barclaycard and was given a receipt in the shop.   On Wednesday I received a text message saying " you just paid '£xxx' to 'The Bed Shop' then there was a link (which I didn't click on) to 'Receipts.Sumup.com'  How did they get my mobile number  ?

The mattress was delivered on Friday and I'm pleased with it  :grin:

I think Sum Up are the service that provides those small contactless payment devices that run via a smartphone or tablet. I've had Sum Up appear in my mobile banking from purchases in cafe's and pubs etc.

I just couldn't understand how they had my mobile number, it was a fair amount that's why I paid with Barclaycard.  Not a problem as I've deleted message.
