AT&T
Oliver AT&T Rip Off at Public Telephones in Airports Intl Airport

Dear Rip Off report

I would like to report AT&T for a ripoff being perpetuated, even as I write this report.
Many a times, at an international airport we have to make a call. Sometimes it is preferable to use calling cards. However, I did not have that luxury when I made a call from the Newark International airport.

I used AT&T's operator assited call. The lady on the line was (i dunno what to say), a lil bit short on consumer practices? She connected my call and "FORGOT" to tell what it would cost me. Surprise surprise. I am receiving a charge on my CC of. Hold your breath
$13.00 for a call that lasted 1 second!!!

I filed a complaint with the FCC also and as usual, my complaint was closed! (now where did I hear this. The lil guys always get crushed in front of the big corporations?)...

I would advise all folks out there to please beware of such DECEPTIVE marketing practices by AT&T and other phone companies... If you have faced similar experiences, please list them here. I was wondereing if thete is anyone out there that can help me?

I feel I have been cheated, as I was not given proper information about the service I requested. The person at AT&T with whom I spoke had this to say..
".. We do not provide rates until asked for! It was your prerogative to ask for the rates"... This is quite strange as the same company, AT&T very boldly display their long distance rates on calling cards available at airports!...
