I was leaving Jamaica and wanted to make a call to ensure my transportation back in the US was secure. Unfortunately my cell phone was dead. On the payphone it listed that there was a charge of $1 per 5 minutes for credit card and calling cards. Under this presumption, I made 4 calls under 60 seconds since no one answered the phone and have been charge $171.07. I was offered a return of $83.00 but have not accepted. I am currently writing a letter to my attorney general, the governor of California in which this company states they are located and writing my local news station. I think it is a ripoff, especially in today's economy, that a company can thrive and still exist on taking peoples money without their knowledge. What made the situation worse was that the first agent I spoke to told me that they do not have to list their pricing on the phone or indicate that I needed to call the operator for specifically using my credit card so that I understood the charges. I would love to join a class action lawsuit and will reply with the outcome of my letter.
