Telseven And OAN continue to try directory assistance scam Pointe Verde Florida

These folks must make lots of short-term interest money with this scam because they tried it on me, too. Their bill--plus taxes for the call I didn't make--was $7.93.

I called OAN Plus#--the billing company afilliated with Telseven--and talked to someone named "Alfred." While he insisted that I did make the call--which I didn't--he also offered to credit my SBC account "over the next two billing cycles." This evidently so that they could keep the interest their scam earns over that time period. I hung up and called SBC.

After I told SBC what happened, they told me that they would dispute the charge, remove it from my bill, and not pay these vultures. It's only about 8 bucks, but if everyone does this, maybe that'll discourage these players. Probably not, though. They'll probably just look for another way to rip us off.
