Re: Teleblend still slamming numbers -- they slammed mine!
Must read
Having some knowledge of Telebends and Rizzo2dials reputation from posts around here, I'm going to take an educated guess at what happened here.
Having been involved in SR's demise and doing and educated risk assessment of sliding over to Teleblends offer to SR subs, I went through everything available from Teleblend.
As some of you may recall, Sunrocket had a displeasing reputation for sliding in unexplainable CC charges on accounts that had been canceled months+++ prior to the charges slipping through. This is all past history on BBR.
When TB first set up there site; their big claim to fame was an easy transition to their voip service for SR subscribers. No LNP require to retain your number!
Sounded simple.  Other may disagree.
So my guess is simply that TB in dire need for $, accidental attempted to charge the CC on this closed account.
Not being able to collect any ill gotten funds  they pulled a slam on Rizzo2dial's old SR #,  Then sent a threatening email to the last contact email address.
This is from TB's TOS that didn't exist at the change over:
"...This authorization remains valid until 90 days after TeleBlend receives your notice to terminate TeleBlend's authority to charge your card, whereupon TeleBlend will charge you for any outstanding charges and terminate the Service..." NOT 6 MONTHS LATTER!
The reason for this guess is simple. Porting #'s costs time and $ and since TB doesn't have any to spare...
TB isn't allowing non paying subscribers accounts to stay active for 6 months +, so they must have already canceled the account prior to the slamming!
There have been several other reports on BBR of TB slamming #'s
So, the only guess that can be made is that TB is either very sloppy with their business or is still SLAMMING #'s in an attempt to profit.
I recommend that consumers think twice before giving this company any CC info. |

|  I just read this thread and it helps validate my guess. Of course it's just a guess unless they plan to pull this stunt again.

I ported my SR number away to AT&T/Bellsouth landline put a freeze on my account. Not sure if you can do that with VOIP though.

Once your number was re-directed to the PSTN account, you can put a PIC freeze with BellSouth. In the future, if you want to port that number elsewhere, you will have to ask BellSouth to remove the freeze. |
