ESBI And Residential Email Fraud billed to Qwest Account Lewes Delaware

I work at Qwest, and one thing I wouldn't believe from the rep is that he blocked the company from future charges. We do not have the power to block 3rd party companies from charging phone bills if these companies have permission from the person signing up with the services. Granted, all it takes to get the charges on someones phone bill is to visit a marketing link that may say they will provide the consumer with $1,000 in grocery coupons (or something similar) if they sign up with their month to month service. The person, then needs to click a confirmtion link in the email stating that they accept the charges on the given phone number. The problem however is that anyone has the ability to state that they are the owner of the given phone number. Rather than fraud on behalf of Qwest, it seems as if this is an FCC loophole, which allows fraud to be conducted via the people that click these marketing links. It seems like 95% of the time the people admit that the email and the information used is their own, but there was a oversight in the small print of these marketing links in which they did not realize, which resulted in the 14.95 charge. The only way to block future charges is by contacting the company who charged for these services, which in this case is residential email, not Qwest.
