K. T. Communications Cramming Scamming 900 Number Fraud Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

I am filing this to report a telephone bill cramming scam that was attempted on my mother-in-law. She does not use a computer but I thought this was important to report to the consumer community since I can find very little about this company.

My Mother-in-law's August phone bill from Verizon contained a number of unauthorized charges from K. T. Communications. She attempted to call and talk to them about why these charges are incorrect, but each time she tried to explain the representative talked over top of her and reiterated the threats already detailed in K.T.C.s letters. The representative was unable to produce a recording of anyone authorizing these charges and would not give a name either.

K. T. Communications contends she owes $359.31 for 5 calls totalling 71 minutes. These 5 calls were supposedly made between 11:47 PM on August 5^th and 12:24 AM on August 6^th. The really laughable thing is that the last two calls overlapped each other for 20 minutes. One starts at 12:23 AM and lasts for 21 minutes and yet a minute later she supposedly placed a second call for another 21 minutes. It is good to know I can place two calls on the same phone at the same time. Who knew?

Please be aware of this new threat to hardworking Americans everywhere.
