AMS Billing Services They are ripping off everyone!!! Internet
Earlier today I was looking online for the phone number to AMS Billing to pay my water bill. While having a heated discussion with my fiance about how there was NO POSSIBLE WAY that we were using so much water in our two bedroom apartment. I found this site. I COULD NOT believe what I was reading!!!
I moved into this apartment in Sarasota, FL in April. Since then, my water bills have been continually rising each month (drastically!). At first I attributed it to the toilet leaking, but after the toilet had been fixed I knew something had to be wrong. I have no washing machine and (at this particular time) had not been living in my apartment. However, my water bill was exactly the same as the previous months and slightly increased. There was NO WAY I had been using all of that water. One month I had gone out of town and was a couple of days late paying my bill. I, as well, came home to find a note from my landlord threatening if I didn't pay my balance I would be evicted. I wasn't even 10 days late! I didn't know how that it could be legal to share my personal information with my landlord or the renting company at my apartment complex.
After finding this site, I found out that I am NOT the only one experiencing these problems. All of these other people have been experiencing the same type of scam I have. This billing company is ripping everyone off and getting away with it.

Make a call to who actually supplies your water. Tell them your story and ask them to check your meter and what is tied into your meter.
Once upon a time we rented a second floor 1 bedroom apartment and no matter what we did, our electric bill and water bill was crazy for the year we lived there. When the people downstairs moved out we moved down there, 2 bedrooms, huge living room, dining room, washer and dryer, rent was only $50 more.
All of that, I was afraid bills would be a killer. Our electric bill dropped to $5.87 a month and the water bill to $1.20. No matter how much electric or water we used, those bills never changed.
Call who ever supplies your water, probably the City and get your meter checked to see what is tied into it. Your landlord might have the sprinkler system on your meter for all you know.

Check the meter at your location and verify the readings shown on your bill match.

While it's remotely possible the meter is inaccurate, revenue grade meters are rarely found to be inaccurate.

Who, exactly are the "everyones" you refer to in your posting?
I don't find any others on Ripoff Report and BBB gives them an A with only 5 complaints (resolved) in over 5 years.
Please provide a link to the information you used to state this or list all these "other" people.
What proof, exactly, do you have you're being scammed? If you have that knowledge, you should take legal action against AMS.
