I visited the site getfreemusic .com. The next day i get an email from nationwide voicemail. They inform me i have signed up for their service. They gave me a web site to cancel at that does not exist. Now they emailed me telling me they are billing me via my phone bill.
the site they gave me for cancellation is bogus

Ummm, Donna, do you work for this company? If not, please read all the other reports that have been filed. People are online filling out forms for something totally different (usually something offered as free) and then get an email stating they signed up for this voice messaging service.
It's a RipOff. If you get to their 'cancel' form and give them your phone number, all you are doing is providing giving them a phone number to match up to the email address you put on the original online form to get that something else for free. (Assuming that form didn't request a phone number and they already have it.) Then if they didn't have it, they now do and can freely bill you for their unwanted and unrequested service.
The OP did nothing wrong, he was ripped off just like all the other victims that have posted reports on this site. Residentialvoicemail.com is doing the same thing and as I said in my previous post, they seem similar enough in their domain information they could be related and just have offices in two places.

Ways to Cancel

If you go on the internet you fill out a survey and fail to read the the terms and conditions which tell you, that you will be be billed, then it is your fault.
When you then see the charge on your phone bill. You should try calling the number listed for billing questions.Then you should help resolve the issue.
Instead of assuming you are being ripped off!
there are ways to fix problems all you have to do it try.

#2 Consumer Suggestion
Residentialvoicemail and nwvmessaging the same scam?
AUTHOR: Lorraine - Geek Consumer Advocate :-) - (U.S.A.)

What you experienced sounds exactly like what the victims of residentialvoicemail.com are saying. They are on a totally different website filling out a survey or looking for freebie type things and then they get an email saying they signed up for a voice message service.
I don't know if these are connected or not, but as you can see by the whois information below, they are using the same domain service and servers. The only differences are the company names and what they list for owner and address. Neither of them give a phone number.
I tried to access the nwvmessaging.com website and all I got was a blank page on their main URL and on the cancel URL in the above report.
As with residentialvoicemail.com, do NOT give them your phone number or then they can match it to your email address, claim you ordered their service and start to bill your phone bill every month and make it look legitimate!
360-736-2477 is a phone number I've seen reported to contact them, but again, do NOT give them your phone number if you call to try to cancel.
