Freebies bring charges....Warning!

Warning!!
Guys look at your AT&T or whom ever is your phone company and verify that there are no extra charges being stuck on your statement.....I got mine and it has $47.00 worth of services added to my statement. AT&T said they can not stop them from charging me. I have to call them and get it canceled. There were 3 different companies charging me for services that I did not authorize!
They said it was authorized over the internet and I don't even order things on here.....I have however signed up for some free things and that is the only source that I can figure out. A T&T said that right now, there is no law to prevent these companies from doing this, and their hands are tied until there is one. It is robbery!!!! These charges are robbing me without my consent! I am going to call the news people too! I just paid my bill last month and because I was late....I didn't even look to see if something was wrong....Well it was and I did this month! Just be aware that it can happen on here and look over all bills!

We had some stupid charges for subscriptions we didn't know about. One had been ongoing for almost a year. Hubby called an told them to block all subscriptions.

What freebie website did you go on. I do this alot. No change for me. Hope it never does. I get alot of free stuff. P.S. Your looking great!!!

Thank you, I wish I could see as many changes as others see....
I go to the freebie site on here and have loved getting samples of vitamins, protein drinks and so on....but no more!  Like I told Debbie, just don't put your phone number. The AT&T guy said it is not limited to AT&T any company who gets your phone numbers including cell phones can do this!

I had this problem as well.  I did the same thing that EOWIFEY did and had the phone company block all subscriptions.  I was successful in getting the charges reversed but it is amazing how they can do this to us.  I know that a lot of the elderly just pay the bills and doing review them.  I know on many of the "free stuff" sites they ask for telephone numbers and that's what they do to you...slap the charges on the phone bills.  Sneaky isn't it?

It is sad and should be illegal! There are many times that I just pay things and don't look like I should, but that has changed! T.V stations should do a report on it , to make people aware that they can do this. I was shocked that A T & T couldn't do anything about it unless I called to cancel it. I use my maiden name for anything I fill out on here, so that is how I know it came from the Freebie sites. My advice is that if they ask for a phone number....don't give it to anyone!
