I received my Verizon phone service and DSL billing dated 07/16/09. Page one of the bill had a "Consumer Alert" for a new service provider. There was a $21.35 (total including taxes) "third party billing" charge billed for something I have never subscribed to.
I contacted Verizon and they did credit my account for the charge. They also put a block on my account for any further "third party billings", but I really wonder if this issue is resolved.
The billing was shown as the following: The Billing Resource, the clearinghouse agent for Brilliant Digital Ent (ertainment). The charge was billed on July 8 for "Brilliant Ent-KaZaA Monthly Service Fee"...$19.95 plus 1.40 Tax.
Further, the verbiage in my bill said that "for more information on The Billing Resource, please access their WWW address at: www.integretel.com.
To sum it up, I've never downloaded a music file of any sort (Kazaa?) and I know I did not subscribe to any account or service from this company. I found a number of hits about billing scams, etc, but nothing really that current. Does anyone have any feedback?
Thanks
