About a month ago I discovered charges on my phone bill that I hadn't made. I company named U.S.B.I. Facilitated charging my account on behalf of Global Crossing. These calls, third party calls, were made to the Soloman Islands.
When I called to complain, U.S.B.I. Was evasive about who they were and their relationship to Global Crossing. The informed me that they are a "long distance clearinghouse." (what the hell does that mean?) They agreed to credit the charges of a little over $50.
This month my bills shows over $150 worth of calls to the UK (442073350525) by U.S.B.I. And a company called One Call Comm. I've done some research online and see where other people having been getting these same charges.
When I called, I was informed that someone utilizing the internet from my home had signed an electronic agreement to access a site that would bill my home phone. (horse crap) They did agree to credit my account. I've since restricted all 3rd party billing and long distance service to my home phone.
