One Call Communication USBI ripoff USBI call to Diego Garcxx Carmel Indiana

I received my SBC bill today, and it contains a bill of 48.99 from you know who: USBI. It says that I made calls to 0246120. I have no idea where that came from since we cannot be at the computer during that time.

In any rate, I called SBC and asked who this people are. I also ask SBC how come somebody can charge me using their phone bill. The lady told me that they are required by law to collect bill. However, she said that since I disbuted the bill, she will send it back to the company. I said that I do not want to make long distance call, period. She said that will cost $5 a month. Interesting, pay money for no service.

I called the company ONE CALL COMM once but no one answered.

I then turned to the internet and found many complains. Is it a dishonest company trying to make buck? I think I know the answers. Let us report it to FCC.

here is a "NEWS" article I found about the company from the company's website:
