I made a call from a payphone at the airport in Panama City, Panama and the ad on the phone said that I could call for only $. 18 using my credit card. I did and made a phone call home that was only 2 minutes at the most. I got my bill and saw a charge for $41.68. I looked on the net and found BBG's number 1-619-661-6661 and talked to the billing department. They were complete a*es.
I told them they falsely advertised a rate and they told me that they dont even advertise the rates and that if I wanted to know what the rates where I would have needed to have called and talked to a live operator. Needless to say I recognized this as a scam and complete fraud. I called my bank and had them close my card and start a fraud case. They are going to let the charge go through but then they are going to issue a credit against the charge. I will never use any payphone in an airport or hotel with my CC again!!!
