Our little brother watchdog site the Consumerist posts a helpful guide to snuffing out fraudulent third party charges on your cell phone bill. Third party "phone service" companies, like Discount Telecom Services, tell phone companies customers ordered certain services. The phone companies, like Qwest, then bill the customer and take a portion of the fraudulent fees. According to an expert in finding false phone charges, "at least 80 to 90 percent of all phone bills are dirty." Eighty to ninety percent! While scrutinizing your cell phone bill every month isn't the most fun way to spend your time, it might save you some cash - either by catching these fraudulent charges or services/minutes you might not be using. — Gina Trapani Search and Destroy Hidden Phone Charges [Consumerist]
