*** Verizon / AT&T Customer Alert! ***


Examine your billing statements immediately.


A company named ESBI (Enhanced Services Billing Inc.) is applying fraudulent charges for amounts ranging from $14.95 to $16.95.


You should contact your telcom provider to block charges, from companies like this, to your account.


Why do these bozo's run these scams ... maybe because they fly under the radar and people don't have the patience or the diligence to examine every line of very complex billing statements.

They do that all the time with my business lines. Telling you it is free service for a limited time and that you can cancel at any time. Of course when these charges are finally billed you will have a really hard time finding it, and canceling the service.

Maybe - looks like they are back at the same game as the FTC nailed them for in 2001.
