both my offices(one in ny and one in nj)got billed for $49/month for website maintenance....only problem is we don't have a website....lol. verizon told me they're just billing for a third party. i have to contact the company(i think it was called green initiative) and deal with it myself....they(verizon) are not involved....yet they are the one who billed me!!!! when i contacted the website maintenance company, they claimed that one of my assistants authorized it. i informed them that we don't have a website.....they asked if i wanted one...they can design it for a fee....lol. after about 20 minutes of beating my head against the phone, they said they will remove the charges and stop the billing....guess what.... i got another $49 tacked on my verizon bill again. what a freaking scam....!!!!!

Reminds me of the check scams. Companies send you a check for like a buck and when you cash it you are authorizing debits from that account or your home phone. My wife was about to cash one once.

We had this happen once. $7 for e-voicemail. We called Verizon and they credited us back for it immediately and put a lock on our account which won't allow any third party from attaching their bill to Verizon's.

from the sounds of it, you are at the mercy of verizon on what you are charged.

I should call and have it blocked anyways.

There is no reason for a company(especially one that is not chartered as a bank) to bill for a 3rd party company, it's clearly a mean to "scam", "borrow" money without our consent and not paying interest.

Let say I provide aquarium maintenance to Verizon, can I start to bill Verizon for members here whom claim they provided service to Verizon and authorized by Verizon's empolyees? I think our admin can even provide IPs and log on time that they have been on our forum. This could be a big business imagine $10 per member and that could mean $10,000.00 a month.
