Some of you already know about this but it needs to be shared with alot more people. My oldest daughter likes to download ringtones and ringback tones, which normally is no big deal because she pays for them. My younger daught called me awhile back and asked me if she could download some songs from a website her stepmom told her was free. I told her no because I had just seen something on the news about those kind of sites, sending people text messages and charging people for them on top of what their cell carries charge them for texting. Well apparently My oldest didn't get the message and listen to her stepmom. So last month we had a charge on our bill for $9.99 from Verisign for a Jamster membership. So we called and got that cancelled and informed my daughter to not do that again, no matter who tells her it wae free. Matter closed right? Wrong! Today I open our cell bill and on my oldest daughter's bill is a charge $19.99 from m-Qube Inc. for get this mobile messaging. So my daughter and I go a few rounds about what it was for. Poor thing she was almost in tears. When I got home I looked up this m-Qube company. They are part of Verisign. I figure out this charge is due to the Jamster membership that was canceled at the beginning of September. And then another light went on. Why is her phone being charged for mobile messaging? We have unlimited messaging on all 4 of our phones. I called this m-Qube and demanded to talk to a supervisor. I tell them there is an unathorized charge on my daughter's phone. The lady tells me they have to send me an email to verify my complaint and then they will send me refund forms in a few days. Then if they think I have a good complaint they will refund the charge. Oh I am fuming. Justin calls our cell company and tells them about all of this including last months issue. The guy looked up her phone history and guess what she DIDN'T do anything. This company just deecided to charge her phone. So now our cell company is going to get the charges reversed for both charges. So for now there will be no more downloading of songs. We had to put complete blocks on our phones to ensure no future unwanted charges. Here is the kicker there is a class action suit against this company for? Can anyone guess? Watch your cell bills closely!
