Company Rep Contacted:
Description of complaint: FRAUDULENT CHARGES Regarding May Billing Statement Phone No. 916-xxx-xxxx. We dispute the charges below. To protect ourselves from fraudulent billing, our number does not have a long distance provider, nor do we ever accept collect calls. We do not want nor have we ever requested a long distance provider. This phone number simply forwards to a different local number. There should never be any charges for long distance. At the time in question, I was the ONLY person with access to the local phone number that the 916-XXX-XXX number forwards to. I nor anyone else ever accept collect calls. The long distance charge below is without merit and should be removed: Long Distance Item No. Date Time Place Called Number Code Min Amount Billed on Behalf of NATIONWIDE CONN.inC # Questions?

P.S. NATIONWIDE PATTERN OF ALLEGED FRAUD? The company in question apparently has a nationwide pattern of alleged fraud.
Here's another person's history with the company in question, see this weblink: http://w3. Usacomplaints.com/reports/ripoff84478.htm E-mail to a Friend Printer Friendly Version Category: Telemarketers Submitted: 3/18 9:58: 32 PM Modified: 3/18 9:59: 00 PM Oan Services, Inc.,
Aci Billing Services Mar-ed Billing Service ripoff billed a fictious collect call on behalf of nationwide connections, inc Northridge California Company Oan Services - aci Billing Services Address: 8401 Darby Avenue Northridge California 91325 U.S.A. Phone Number: 818-700 9799 Fax: A charge appeared on my bill from Frontier phone Co.By OAN Services, inc. Billed on behalf of Nationwide Connections, Inc..
For a collect call from Branford Ct 203 483 9161 for $7.78. It was on a Sunday January 4 at 1056A m. I was the only one in the building all day and I don't accept collect calls. Nor answer the phone on Sundays.
I phoned Frontier to protest. They said to call 1-800 343 5114. When I did and told her about the collect call she claimed that she was at a prize distribution center and to call 222 0300. That turned out to be a regular AT&T number. So I emailed the Better Business Bureau. They wrote to OAN at their Ca, address. Their requests were ignored so the BBB closed their files on OAN and won't do any thing more except to make my complaint a part of the data on OAN. So I don't know what to do now except send all the data to Frontier and refuse to pay the $7.78. They must know it's a crooked scheme so I don't know
