ILD Teleservices Inc ripoff Billed for Services for which I Never Subscribed Telemarketers Nationwide

I've received charges ($20+ in October and $17+ in November) on my BellSouth bill from ILD Teleservices Inc. and their service provider VENUS (that's their real name!!)for Voice Mail.

I'm being billed and taxed (the government even gets their few scheckles on rip-offs)on Voice Mail Services I didn't subscribe to and do not want.

I contacted ILD (1.800.433.4518)and let them know I did not subscribe to or wanted their services. They (Areala sp??) said she was sorry and all would be taken care of.

I contacted BellSouth (Ms Green) and requested no 'second party billing'. This way I would be billed by each individual company (BellSouth, MCI long distance)instead of a single joint bill.

Problem taken care of ... not in this life time! I continue to be billed by these jerks (ILD)through BellSouth.

I have wasted to date 2.5 hours on numerous phone calls trying to get this 'slamming' taken care of.

To all ... hang up with post haste when these rip-off jerks call.
