Hi Jennydotz,
ILD recently posted an article on what you can do to protect yourself against cramming. Here’s a summary, but you can read more on our blog at

Like any bill, it’s important to closely review your phone bill each and every month because whether it’s your phone bill, credit card statement, electric or cable, sometimes charges end up on your bill that you should question. Your phone bill should be treated like any other purchase you make, so take a few minutes each month and closely review all of the charges, just like you do with your bank statement and credit card statements.
Here’s some great advice, courtesy of the FCC, on how to protect yourself and save money.

Ask yourself the following questions as you review your telephone bill:
1)
Do I recognize the names of all the companies listed on my bill?
2)
What services were provided by the listed companies?
3)
Does my bill include charges for calls I did not place and services I did not authorize?
4)
Are the rates and line items consistent with the rates and line items that the company quoted to me?
