MY IPRODUCTS IMAIL IMAIL SCAM RIPOFF San Francisco California
I was charged $14.95, in my mays phone bill from Valley Telephone Cooperative, Inc., the charge came from an obscure company named MY IPRODUCTS IMAIL (ILD Telecommunication, Inc.), and it was for a supposed long distance service that was never contracted, and from a company that I have never heard from. When I tried to talk to the company's agent to get an explanation regarding the charges, they told me that they were "authorised" to charge my account because they had my "address" and "mother's maiden name". On July 7, a company's agent gave me a cancellation number, but told me that the charges already incurred were not going to be refunded, because they were authorised to do it. Until then, I didn't know what IMAIL meant (intelligent mail). I dont know why these scammers are charging this particular phone number since its only used for an alarm monitoring service and it is never answered by anyone. I think its scary to know that anyone out there that supposedly has your address and mother's maiden name is "authorised" to charge any amount of money they wish, sometimes hurting some retired folks on fixed income. I tried to file a claim with Better Business Bureau, but these scammers are difficult to find, and they hide behind some "billing" companies. Its time the government do something to stop these scams because it costs the consumer time and money to be fighting all these fraudulent charges. Beware of the IMAIL SCAM.

Dutch,
Unless you like being charged modest amounts to your account or are in any way defending this ripoff, I dont understand someone being charged all these modest charges to his or her accounts. like I stated, OAN, is as I understand, is a collection service for some obscure companies hiding behind so may bureaucratic procedures and these scammers are betting that the customer is going to get tired of complaining and end up paying modest amounts of money anyway, if you multiply all the modestamounts for thousands it makes a big difference $$$$$$$$ to this scammers. Now a days there are many people and companies trying to rip off your money anyway they can, because they know that in this country people work so hard that they dont want to be fighting with this criminals at the little time they have to rest. So please make me a favor and send me the modest amount that I was charged, and I will make sure that in the future you get my modest charges from now on, any way; it seems to me that it doesnt bother you if you throw away your money.
Sincerely,
Rgomez
