Rocket Communication Svcs, Inc finally answered my phone call yesterday. I talked to a lady named Geana and she assured me that she would remove unauthorized charge from my phone bill and contact AT&T to let them know I wasn't to pay for the unauthorized charge. She seemed very friendly and helpful. All I can do now is wait and see if the charge is removed from bill. She didn't say why the charge was added to my account only asked if I had authorized it. I will let everyone know how things turn out.

No AT&T is not part of the scam - and they should be working with you to cancel it. This information is from another complaint board called 800nnotes They have an article 16 Ways You Can Be Phone Scammed - published in NOV 08 "Cramming": When monthly charges pop up on your telephone bill for optional services that you never authorized such as voice mail, paging, or club membership, it's called "cramming." You may be asked to return a missed call because it's 'Your lucky day' and you've won a trip to Las Vegas. When the call is made, an automated system is activated and you are unknowingly enrolled in a club or program, and the charge is placed on your phone bill. The crammer might not even need to do anything except simply pick your phone number out of the blue and place charges on your bill through your local telephone company, claiming that you agreed to purchase some services. Look at your bill closely every month. Charges for optional services should be itemized and show the name of the company providing them and its phone number. If you did not authorize the services, call that number and insist that they be canceled and the charges removed from your bill. Also, consider putting a third party block on your phone service. It's often free and it does not let any third party add charges to your phone bill.
