9004462900

My father down in Fla received this number on his bill for $1.99. He then received a notice that they were going send it to a collection agency. These criminals should be hung by their ears and left for buzzards (feel free to substitute ears for any other part of the anatomy).

I called Swings and Things House of Hammocks at 1-800-533-5177
and reached a voice message that said to call 1-900-466-2900 for a fee and that I must be 18.

I found this charge on my bill as well. I called Verizon and they told me it was a Directory Assistance call (that is how it was listed on the bill). But no directory assistance call was made and no one here called that number. Maybe it was picked up by the answering machine like Concerned101 suggested. Verizon did credit me for the amount and blocked future 900 calls.

The thing that made me suspicious is that on the bill, MCI has a contact number written like this:1-718-1-8-0-42. Needless to say, that call "cannot be completed as dialed". But shame on Verizon, on that portion of the bill they do note that "this portion of the bill is provided as a service to MCI, A VERIZON COMPANY"!

Was billed for several $$ for calls to this no. Googled..Tried to find WHO this was in the "Reverse tel directory. Response:NO INFO ON THIS NO"!!!! Had my local phone co. BLOCK ALL CALLS FROM MCI and got credit on my local bill.
Conserned about a statement on the MCI bill:"The service provider that billed for these services may employ other agencies to collect this amount EVEN IF your local co. gave you credit"
Googled/got MCI contact no.and will have it out with them! This is a fraudulent charge.....great way for the crocks to get lots of $$$ from unsuspecting consumers who do not analyze their tel.statements!

Called Verizon 1-800-837-4966 last month to inquire about merger with Frontier and got recording saying number was changed to 1-900-446-2900. Called 900 number and was redirected to call 877-462-8188. WTF!! Crock of s**** and scam/slam!! Called Verizon to file a complaint and had charge reversed. All 900/700/and 976 numbers are now blocked.

Same thing, this appeared on my phone bill, I called Verizon, they told me I had to call MCI, I called MCI, they told me it was Champion Communications and their number is 561-272-5667. That it was a call placed for health advice for some woman name Carol Keppler. Here is the web address httlinksnotallowed://linksnotallowed.energymedicinefoundation.org/teleseminars/.

MCI said they sent a request to the company for a credit. MEANWHILE - you do NOT have to pay that portion of your phone bill and your services will not be shut off. It says it right on the verizon bill under the charges. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
