Re: Block 'em

VZ did credit my account for some "ringtone" service that neither I nor my wife can recall, since I install ringtones on our phones, and I acquire them from free services or legal song downloads.

We had been billed for three months, $9.95/month, and the CSR *immediately* provided a "number" to text to unsubscribe, no questions asked.

When I asked the CSR about it, the CSR said that there had been some illegal access to VZ's accounting system. The thing is, the charging site must have my or my wife's VZ telephone number to make the charge, yet neither of us has ever accessed a site (except for VZ Wireless) that asked for a wireless number, nor would we have provided the number if asked.
