This ISP evidently has a simple web page form that their users can sign up for internet service simply by just providing an address and a phone number. They can enter in some fake numbers for the last four digits of your SSN as well.
The page is located at: netwatchisp.com/JoinNow.asp
This page will fire off an email to whatever email the user puts into the form to confirm the account.
There is a simple button at the bottom of the form that says "I authorize this transaction".
Thats evidently all it takes to put a charge on your local phone bill.
What I did:
I immediately contacted AT&T to block any third party charges to my account.
They put me in touch with ILD to dispute the current charges.
ILD also put a block on billing my phone number from any of the companies that they do business with.
