Peoplespc.com pdoes not take responsibility for long distance charges to my phone bill San Francisco California

Dear Mike:
Thanks for your reply. I did talked to Cox, my long distance provider, the supervisor called me back said that its illegal for them to refund my money no matter its from midnight to 4 am in the morning or not. They did a research again on that proof that it was called or used the long distance. I should probally call the local TV stattion for that.

My point is nobody should ever pay for the strange bills like that no matter who authorized it. if you did not use it you should not pay for it. simple theory.

because people are complaining about getting "ripped off" when they are ripping off the phone companies by not using their landline.

To Sylvan -

I am unsure as to what you are referring to in reagrds to the midnight to 4AM issue. Are you saying that your phone bill shows a charge to a long distance number from12 midnight to 4 am? Without you being on it? If that's the case, than I suggest you quickly contact the phone company, NOT People PC as it sounds like someone is wired into your phone line.

As for the following statement you made:

"After I subscribed the $5 month dial up service, there are always a message pops up said if I said yes to more local phone numbers the speed will be faster. I click yes, there is a small pop up said that long distance might be applied."

So a pop up box pops up, you click "yes", did you read the fine print? You clearly state exactly what I say above, that they CLEARLY STATE in the acceptance that long distance charges may apply. Did you verify the connection number and that it wasn't long distance? i bet you didn't.....

If people would stop clicking on things without reading the end user agreements, I would estimate that 75-80% of these types of rip off reports would stop. READ WHAT YOU'RE DOING

I got the same problem but the differences is I use the Internet for an hour a day, the bill shows that I have four hours long distance usage from midnight to four am. Sounds like some body will turn off the internet at 4 am.
Below is the complaint that I posted on (( link redacted by ROR)))
PeoplePC.com in Oklahoma make my phone bill increased $200 dollar per month.

After I subscribed the $5 month dial up service, there are always a message pops up said if I said yes to more local phone numbers the speed will be faster. I click yes, there is a small pop up said that long distance might be applied.

Who knows every time I use the Internet will be long distance charges. I only use one hour a day, but the charges shows I use four hours, from midnight to four o'clock in the morning? who wake up that time to turn off the computer at 4 am?

I strongly believe that People PC use my long distance to make money and I paid the bill.

This issue also happens with AOL online services and courts have already found in this matter.

The way that it works is usually in your agreement, it will tell you that the internet provider is NOT RESPONSIBLE for verifying the connection number is a local number and are not on the hook for payment due to calls made to a long distance number.

More than likely what happened was PeoplePC's local number you were using changed or is no longer in use (as happens frequently) and you didn't notice that you were dialing into a different number, usually a backup is stored as well as a primary.

However, this is no fault of PeoplePC's internet service as it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the number you are dialing is the proper one.
