This is the automatic debit scam as described by the FTC here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel06.shtm  Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG.

yes we must have gotten one of these calls too because I got a charge on my bill for a total of $16.06.  Why can't someone stop these people.  Dirty s.o.b.  worst part is my phone company assured me that if I put a password on my account, this could not happen anymore, yet here we are doing it again.  grrrrr

888-296-8075 was listed as the number I should call for billing inquiries beside the UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES ON MY PHONE BILL totalling $106.20 supposedly billed by "Local Conect Service" (yes, spelled with one "n"). When I called my phone company (Embarq) they gladly removed the charges and put a block against all third party providers. The Embarq Rep. explained that by law, any legitimate company can bill me through my phone bill with authorization! Of course, I've given NO authorization -and would not ever wish to be billed in that manner. I am apalled that such billing is automatically legal! I SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE CALL THEIR PHONE COMPANY AND REQUEST A BLOCK AGAINST ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS!!!!!! DO IT NOW!!!

I didn't get a call from these &^)&^)^&^)^, but a charge of $19.99 + $1.25 tax showed up on my phone bill. Shows up as Christ Living Ministry. This is some kind of rip off. This is Friday night, so can't call phone company until monday. Everyone, double check your phone bill!!!!!!!
