Been screwed over, claiming it back?

Earlier today I got a text from a premium charge number, one of those stupid quiz things. I did nothing to ask for it - no web browsing or giving my number out - and I got charged £1.50.
Sent a text saying STOP, and got another text back - "You have now ended the quiz. Thankyou for playing." Cost me another £1.50. :mad:
Bearing in mind I told them to stop, isn't that illegal? And how can I get my £3 back? I know there's somewhere to report them too, but I can't remember the name or anything.
I've had this problem once before and cancelled both thingys, but that was late last year and I really have no idea why I got the message earlier. :banghead:

What I would do, is find out the company, then the director / CEO, then go to his house and take £3's worth of things :razz:. And some to cover travelling expenses.
There is a test case at the moment which will decide whether phone companies are actually allowed to charge for obviously fraudulent calls- guess who I hope wins?
