Youre right i just ordered phone/internet service…i havent even made a call from the phone and ive barely used the computer, and my phone bill just came to $135, i called and asked them why its so high (keep in mind i reviewed the bill carefully and none of the sums add up to the total. the most it adds up to is like $85) the rep. tells me oh well those ave been service fees, and taxes…but i promise next month this wont happen again! WTF…QWEST is hands down the worst phone company, they comeup with these ridiculous numbers and then when you feel suspicious they calle it SERVICE FEES/TAXES! to cover up! QWST SUX! NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER THEIR SERVICE>…Stay on the lookout for

Unfortunately, yes, I CAN believe that, Natasha… Totally unacceptable and unfair if you ask me… that’s why I dumped Qwest a long time ago and now use Skype

I was scammed as well. This is craziness. There was a charge from an AON company. Qwest removed the charge. I called the AON company to find out it was a huge scam and they also removed the charges (because I told them straight up I knew it was a scam). So I called Qwest back to ask they don’t allow any other third parties bill me through them and they said they have no control over it. In fact I asked them “so you want me to check my bill every month for scam charges?” and the guy told me yes. Can you believe that?

I tried to unbundle with qwest and it has been a total nightmare. In the meantime they are trying to scam me with the billing resource (collect calls) which is absured because I only use my land line for internet. To hell with qwest and all the other scammers. Check your bill each and every month you never know when it will strike!!

Amos,

I hope you are sincere in your intentions.

So you will file a class action of
$50,000,000.

Will you pocket $49,000,000 and give the rest
to the people you are “protecting”?

Is that your intention?

Or are you different?

Tell us…. how will you distribute this $50,000,000?

How much will you charge for your “services”???

Tell us.

I think you are one of the honest folks. But can
you please reassure the readers?

If you are strictly pro-bono, I think that would be best,,,, yes???

ATT is a partner to this scam. The include it in their billing, with their logo. Time we all join in a class action suit to get these thieves out of business. I intend to file action on my own for $50,000,000.00 to get them out of business. But the culprits are not the scammers.The phone companies which hostes them throught innocent looking billings are the sources for the scam.

Thank you for this information… It confirmed what I already suspected; that these calls we’ve received are a scam.

Each time I’ve asked them some questions about what it is they are actually providing and such.

They claim that they are simply updating our existing record in their directory, yet when I asked her to give me the website so I could look for myself, I did not find any entry for us there.

I’m going to demand they remove us from their list to call on.

Okay John, let me get this straight…

You say that it’s “really unfortunate there are people like you guys talking”. Huh?

What’s unfortunate about me alerting people that they may be paying for unwanted services?

If you’re pointing out that someone may have agreed to this over the phone, I can’t fault your logic there, but to suggest that it’s unfortunate that we’re discussing it is absurd. Are you, a majority stockholder or employee of GlobalYP or something?

And OF COURSE Qwest is getting a piece of the action. Why else would they do it?

While we’re on the subject…
Who is it that REQUIRES Qwest to bill for someone’s online yellow page ad? For that matter, what even gives them the RIGHT to bill for something like this? We’re not talking about long distance here.

Is it the State or Federal government? The FCC? Who does the small business owner complain to? They can’t be expected to call Qwest every month!
