I recently traveled to the Philippines and when I was at the airport, I was told that there was going to be a 30 minute delay. So, I wanted to let my family know that my flight was delayed so I used the first payphone I saw. On the pay phone, it said the call to the city i was calling was going to cost me 20 cents per minute, which I thought was very cheap. So I swiped my card twice and didn't work so the automated system transferred me to customer service. I gave my credit card number thinking this was going to be a secured transaction and didn't ask how much it was going to cost me to make the phone call as this was already stated on the sticker on the payphone itself. I checked my credit card statement online and saw a charge of $1.53 from a company named BBG Communications, which I didn't recognize at first but guessed that it was probably the call I made at the airport so I didn't pay any mind to it. The next day, there was another charge for $38.26 from BBG and I waited until the next day as it was showing pending. I checked today and there's another cahrge for $44.26 so I googled BBG to find out what company this is and a whole bunch of results came up showing that this company is a scammer and they have ripped off so many people and a lot of people had the same experience. I called my credit card company and cancelled my card. Please stay away from this company. I doubt I will get this money back.
