Playphone Games Was charged $9.99 on sprint bill. I never sign up nor pay for games. Got another text this morning verifying another charge. Texted back stop to cancel. Did a google search and one of the top hits was turbotax. Maybe something with turbotax is automatically signing you up if you use their service. Will investigate further. Internet
Not sure where I signed up for this Playphone Games app, but I never knowingly did and $9.99 charge was on my Sprint bill. I googled the company and the first result was for Turbotax. Not sure what relation they have to each other but will research more.
