With electronic billing not many people look at their bills any more.

Well, guess what! I got caught up in this very scam, with Verizon. Since I was paying for the "All you can Eat" minutes and data program, I caught the $10 increase in the first month. Verizon did not offer to cancel the charge.... all they did was cut off any future messaging to my phone from that one, particular "vendor".

Watch out for the call-forwarding scam, too.

Had someone slam me on my home phone back in the 90s (switch long distance carriers without permission) of course the local carrier charges you $5 per switch, so they're happy to oblige, until you call and rant. So I've be aware of these types of things. Last month, I noticed 2 new reoccurring monthly charges on my wife's phone - I know she didn't sign up for an ebay monitoring service, she doesn't even have an ebay account. So I called up AT&T got them to reverse the charges and block all other purchases (without a pin number they sent in an email, that I don't care to look at since we're not buying anything anyways).
Yeah, be on the lookout for this scam, the phone carriers love to go along with it since they get their piece of it too. -

Just one more reason why I use a prepaid phone and buy the minimum amount of "minutes" each month. Easy to keep track of the balance because it's displayed on the LCD screen.

I buy a new pre-paid phone every year, put a one year card on it, and pay for both with cash.
Then I just set the old phone on a park bench and walk away. It usually has at least a quarter of its minutes left.
I don't use phones a lot, and I certainly don't let others use mine as a leash. You ain't getting my number, bud. ( Made the mistake once of giving it to AAA during a roadside breakdown, and got asshole salesmen calling me offering me car repair insurance within 10 minutes. ) -

ATT was a problem. We had to call repeatedly for 3 mos asking for the charges to be removed AND that our account be blocked from receiving any texts, incoming especially. It took three months to finally get them to block our phones from receiving texts. To ATT's credit, they did remove the charges each time. Now that we have iphones with a text package it's better, but my hubby's phone still receives spam texts, just not chargeable. At this time.
I worked the west coast national call center back when ATT was Pacific Telesis then Cingular Wireless before buying ATT. I was offered management training and turned it down because I couldn't stand giving bull shit answers to customers who were speaking the truth about the problems with the company. That really took my guts on an uncomfortable ride. -

I usually do look at my bill, but you made me look closer at my bill. I saw a tax that the city I no longer live in is charging me. feh.
I knew I was still being charged a county tax but I figured that is because I didn't change the phone number when I moved out of the county. -
