Unfortunately I have been allowed to participate in the phone call scams to the tune of $426.65. But says that SBC, Verizon or USBI or any of the others is the actual culprit is WRONG. The culprit is the one who is profiting from the dialer or worm or whatever they infected my computer with to steal from me/us. These companies are unfortunate victims also because their names are the ones out in front of us because of the real culprit who remains hidden in the background enjoying his/her ill gotten gains from the ones who pay them. Personally, all I had to contact were courteous and helpful, all insisted I had made the calls but when I explained I truly had not, they credited my account and SBC who is my phone company helped me to set up so it won't happen again. Now I filed a complaint with several agencies as well as on RipOff...but I still maintain we're mad at the wrong people. So....let's put it here under whatever names we have, file complaints with the FTC, Attorney Generals and let our primary carriers know what we are doing and why. Surely, this will be addressed if enough of us take it to the proper people, I know for a fact that Missouri's Attorney General is very happy to prosecute this type of swindle/scam or crook. Good luck to all of you

SBC is the collection agent for all these scammers.Sue the scammer in small claims court(up to $5,000 in CA) sue for maximum. Get judgment. They won't appear. levy on funds being held on their account by SBC.Then SBC will stop acting as agent for the collection of these bogus charges;OR SBC could be a co-conspirator,aider and abettor in the frausulent scheme since withoutSBC to act as a collector,the scheme wont work.So SBC is an essential part of the fraudulent scheme.Small claims is cheap and service is by mail.OR seek out a class action lawyer(They are all over the place).And SBC as a co-defendant has deep pockets which they keep lined with ill-goten gains from scams like these.
