I have been getting phone calls for years that say they are Verizon and have to verify yearly that I still want my wireless and home charges on one bill. When they get to the verification part of the call, it says "you agree to have USBI as your long distance provider" I always hang up.
I noticed last month charges from USBI on my bill and they had been charging me for 3 months, first a small amount, then it gradually got to be larger. That's why I didn't notice it at first.
I was able to have $75 removed and a freeze put on the account. I wish Verizon would have done this sooner. I was not credited for $26 and my new bill shows a new $22 charge. Verizon says they can not do anything and that I have to report them to the FCC. When I told the lady at USBI that I would be reporting her company she said "ok".
They recently called me again to try to slam my long distance and threatened to shut off my phone if I didn't verify the one bill thing. When I said I never heard of that, (i've paid my bill every month for 15 years, I doubt they would shut it off) the lady got rude and said "just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it won't happen" I asked for her number, she gave it to me and said it is on the front of my bill, it wasn't. When they call the caller ID says "Christian Myers" and the address is a po box.
