Correcting bogus billing

#2Consumer Suggestion

Tue, January 25, 2005

I also was billed, twice, for bogus charges to the U.K. from Premier Premium Communications. My phone service provider charged me as well. I contacted my phone provider and explained the situation. The charges on my local phone bill were reversed back to Tellis, and no payment was made to Premier Premium. Have not heard anything else on the matter. I also completed the on-line complaint forms for different agencies I found on this site. DO NOT pay these people anything! Thanks, everyone, for the great information located within these pages.
