Many phone companies act as billing agents for hundreds of small service providers, most are legitimate. With the increase in telecom services it is possible to have local calls, long distance calls, Internet service, etc. all on the same bill.

Review your statement to make sure you recognize all the charges. Many times the illegitimate charges are within $3. This makes it easy to overlook and just pay the bill. These bad guys may have charged 50,000 people $3, leading to a tidy sum of money!

Look for charges for caller-ID, paging, wake-up services, voicemail, etc. Call the billing company if you have questions. If the charge is invalid, the local phone company will probably remove the charge. Don’t stop there! Register a complaint with the FCC and FTC to help put these people out of business.

Local phone companies may allow you to block all miscellaneous charges billed to you. They may also block calls to 900 numbers, often a sources for the illegitimate charges! Let them help you stop these problems before they start.

Also beware of entering raffles or other contests. If the details seem vague or you are unfamiliar with the sponsoring organization make sure you read everything on the entry form. You may be signing up for a new phone service!
