I'm roaming (free) in Greece and Cyprus, but I've had messages saying “Welcome to the USA” and have been charged high rates for data usage. Why has this happened? How can I prevent this and how do I get the incorrect charging refunded?

This has just happened to me too, I'm in Greece (Rhodes) and have been using data roaming fine for the last 5 days but ive just had a warning that im not using my inclusive allowance any more, shortly followed by a Welcome to Turkey text message.
