Charged $9.99 three times over eight days for Dirtyhippo downloads. Big mistake, never did this, but Verizon Wireless said they can do nothing.
This is how the scam works. Dirtyhippo gets your cell phone number. Anybody can enter your cell phone number on their website. They send a text message to your cell phone. As soon as they send it, they bill you for $9.99, even if you do not respond to the text message.
This is the biggest billing scam. If you complain to Verizon, they tell you to call Verizon Wireless. When you call Verizon Wireless, they say nothing can be done. I am out $29.97.
I didn't pay the charges and complained. It took two months and I got a shutoff notice. So I had to pay these ridiculous charges to keep my cell phone.
