The latest version is for ESBI to bill fax-by-e-mail "services" provided by Network Assurance (mynetworkassurance.com). The domain is registered to: DaData, Inc., 26750 US Hwy 19N, Clearwater, FL 33761 (which can easily be seen using Google Earth for anyone in the area that would like to stop by and deliver a token of their appreciation).
ESBI.com is registered to Billing Concepts, 7411 John Smith Drive, Suite 200, San Antonio, TX 78229 (folks in that area might want to drop by for a "chat").
I had Verizon block 3rd party billing on my account a couple of years ago, but somehow these things have begun appearing again. I will have to have another discussion with Verizon once the real people return to the office on Monday.
BTW, the FTC nailed ESBI for "cramming" telephone bills with false 3rd party charges back in 2001: http://www.ftc. Gov/opa/08/billing3. Shtm (I guess the "business" is just too lucrative).
