Just noticed they have been charging me 12.95 per month, billed on my monthly verizon phone bill. When I called they said its for voice mail, when I told them I dont have vm, the rep said I must have signed up for it online. Asked the name of the person they have on record?
She said Mary Johnson. I told her no one by that name here, she said they will credit my bill, it will show up within 4 billing cycles. I hardly believe that, and, I feel that they are pulling names out of a hat when they give the name of the person that signed up...the rep did not seem at all surprised or put out that this happened, it seems that she takes calls of this nature hundreds of times a day. Funny how the names that they give as the person that signed on are always innocuous, such as Mary Johnson, James White, etc. They are never anything like Stanislaus Chmielewski. I would hope that this gets looked into more closely and they get shut down. In addition, I would like to add that it started appearing on my phone bill the same month I got the phone and internet service. I specifically chose a phone plan with no voicemail or any other extra services. So obviously I did not sign up for it, and it seems to me that this company gets a list of all new phone numbers assigned and automatically adds this charge. Too coincidental that "Mary Johnson" would go online and sign up for voicemail with my phone number the same exact day that my phone/internet service begin.

I just wanted to update my original post...after 4 months of keeping after this I have finally gotten my refund of 13 months worth of charges, total refunded is $148.50. If the charges are really fraudulent, I suggest you not take no for an answer, or let them give you only 1 month worth back. Be sure to get it all back. If you want to know more about the steps I took that may help you, too, email me jenjenallison at gmail dot com

Thanks for the posting. I just got hit by the same scam. Verizon was very nice about refunding the charge and updating my account to disallow third party charges in the future.

As for Rocket Communications, they also deleted my account. They told me the person's name, which turns out to be the name of the person who had our number before us (3 years ago). I can see it now, this person signing up for something online and putting down a bogus phone number...rather his old number. And then we get billed.

So the question is whether Rocket Communications is using deceptive and/or fraudulent practices to sign people up. And it would seem so, based on the comment from the lady I spoke to, about the volume of calls just like mine that she gets. She told me the sites where people sign up, but I forget now.

The other issue is why Verizon allows third parties to bill so easily.
