Keep an eye on your phone bills
« on: May 08, 2010, 10:21:26 am »
I just wanted to tell you all, to keep a close eye on your phone bills. I haven't done any offers in about 2 months,

last month 2 charges showed up on my phone bill for for services I had not signed up for or ever even heard of for

that matter. This month another new charge was on it. While I did manage to contact the companies and they are

all "supposed" to give me a credit, it was still a pain. Had I not noticed, they would have continued the the charges

for services I knew nothing about. On the last charge I discovered that an email address that I used for doing offers,

that I know for a fact that I hadn't used since the end of February, was what they had on file and they said the

account was created on March 24th. Just watch your phone bills closely.

Were they for the cell phone?  This is why I never do offers that you have to use your cell phone like ringtones and whatnot.

You should also post this notice under OFFERS.  This is information that all FC members should have.  Thank you.  I am very wary of offers that request phone numbers, especially cell phone numbers.   I have had some close calls and watch my phone bills with an eagle eye, as they say.  This problem is not just limitted to Fusion cash.
