AT&T pay per call AT&T pay per call scam, Internet

Everything is amazing at the beginning, than the first bill i had was 8 calls, about 32 dollars, i looked in my computer and it was 100% telemarketers i did not make a dollar from it, i called the rep to ask if it is normal, he said: this is a great deal wait a couple month and you will see the returns, i could not wait that much on the following month the the bill came over 230 dollars, i called immediately to cancel my account, now it is been four month that im trying to cancel it and my bill is over 1,200 dollars, I call every month and the bill comes every month, every day I have thousands of telemarketers calling, i get annoyed and i am paying for that, thanks at&t pay-per-cal. Nobody can cancel your account you have to call the rep, but he has to call the company so you never sure if the cancel or not, after four month calling and cursing, my account now is on pause, i have no idea what is that, but i am looking for a lawyer to get my case and sue this company. This is the most worst unbelievable thing that i ever had to get through in four years owning this company   

I have been using AT&T paper call for a couple of years at least now. I get about 10% of my business from them. I upgraded to two ads and now I'm going for a third one in a different category other than electrical contracting.

There is not much honor required to tell vendor from potential client.   First all calls are timed anything over 13 seconds is a charged call.  Although the problem with that it may take 30 seconds or more to tell what kind of call it is.  Second it shows if the call is blocked or not and if the call was made in your area.  Third you have the # so AT&T knows if it was from a business or residential and since my clients are all resenditial it's an easy call. 

In short I have not tried to screw AT&T out of honest calls client have made to me but am trying to uphold the contract I made with them in not paying for vendors that call me.

 

When he gets his bill each month, he simply calls AT&T and tells them how many of those calls were potential clients...

It's the new AT&T honor system.

p.s. like cheating in highschool, don't go for an 'A' because they'll never believe you...you go for a 'C', maybe a 'B-' at best...you told them only one call all month was from a potential client??? ONE? even I don't believe you and it's not my pocket you're trying to cheat the coin from.... you gotta tell them it was like 10 or 20, make it seem real

p.p.s. if the one client call in a month thing is true? that's an epic business fail

How is ATT going to know whether a call coming in is from a "vendor " or a "potential client"?
