Recieved collect call from family member stranded in another city and was informed by recorded message that I needed to enter a credit or debit card number to accept the call. I entered my number and proceeded with the call. Two minutes and 38 seconds later the call ended. When I checked my bank account online to see the charges and stub my checkbook there was a pending charge of $20.14 for the call. Four days later while checking my account for another purchase I made I discovered that the $20.14 charge was removed and in it's place a different charge for $32.42 for the same 2 minute and 38 second call. No more calls were made between the date of the first call June 24 and the date of the new charge on June 29... This is a fraud, scam, rip-off and I intend to do everything in my power to get this charge taken off my account! I have contacted my bank both by phone and online to see what my rights are and to put them on notice that I am contesting these fraudulant charges.
