		<description><![CDATA[ATT is a party to this scam and needs to stop accepting unverified billing.  of course, since the call is placed as a &#039;verification&#039;, there is never anything in writing from either party and they can say anything they wish.  ATT is a predatory company and will use any reason to increase charges.  Since they closed their customer service and sent those people over to sales, you can know what their goals are.  We have had similar experience with cell-phones where they ship it to you and then start billing without your consent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Cathy

I assume that your phone number is erroneously listed for a business. To find out where, go to Google and search on 111 &quot;123-3333&quot; where 111 is your area code and &quot;123-3333&quot; is your phone number. You will see which lists have it listed incorrectly. Getting it corrected there will save you agro down the road]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[actually the sales dept DOES state the 39.95 mo/ chrg in the 3rd party verification recording. it IS a 30 day risk free trial. but it does become a monthly service charge after 30 days. trust me its not a scam. just people dont fully listen to them rep when they call. and iff u dont want the service.. then hang up on them!! if u finish the call then yer gonna be signed up. just hang up on them! its that simple. Ask to listen to the recording and ull hear the person auth the acct. and just cause the rep is indian doesnt mean u cant understand them. the sales calls r graded very thuroughly. if they cant understand the rep or if he starts talkin too fast to understand him, the call is invalid and the acct is cncld immediately. Get your story straight before u accuse]]></description>

Anywyas google brings you to this page as the first hit now I see why they do not want to google moreyp.com

After that I read what this page said bout them and asked them to stop calling me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contact your telephone company and have a block put on your bill. All companies provide this service if you ask for it. The block keeps anyone from adding a charge for service or change in service to your phone without the phone company getting a signed document from you first. This will protect you and your company. Beware also of people calling from AT&amp;T to give you an upgrade or discount. These people are not AT&amp;T but will say they are. I actually spoke with the CEO of AT&amp;T and he said that AT&amp;T does not call you with these offers, they will always send everything in writing or wait for you to call them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcast it in the local press and local tv news stations.  Contact the better business bureau.  Get it in front of your congressman.  Those guys let the Verizon&#039;s of the world get away with anything.

Seriously....escalate the problem into the local press and give the perpetrators a black eye.]]></description>
