Phone overcharge
My husband called me from Paris to let me know he made it safely. We talked for less than a minute. Our debit card was charged 3 times for $49.10 each. He stated that he tried calling 2 other times before that, but there was no connection. I don't even have voice mail activated on my cell. I will be disputing these charges.

Overcharge Scam
I'm in the US Army and was in port in Germany, on my way home to the US. I needed to call home to update my loved ones about our arrival time. The pay phone would not take my calling card and only accepted credit card. The charges were not explained or displayed whatsoever. BBG showed up in my account once on the day I made the phone call and again a few days later. I was grossly overcharged $75 in each of these account listings. I heard that some people were able to get their money back by going directly to their bank. I am going to try. $150 bucks! And why was I charged again days later?! A LOT of US Soldiers needed to call home in that airport. This company is BANKING off of people like us! Don't let them get away with it! Call your bank immediately!

Multiple very expensive charges
I was recently in Rome, Italy and left my cell phone at my hotel when I left for the airport. When I arrived at the airport I used one of the credit card pay phones to call the hotel and ask if my phone was there. I had to make this call twice and I'm now seeing six different charges pending on my credit card from BBG for a total of $190.24!!! I have called BBG Communications and the first thing they asked me for is my credit card number so they can look up the charges. Obviously, I wasn't comfortable handing them my card number in fear of them charging even MORE to my account! They said I can call my bank and do a three-way call w/ my bank on the line to BBG to discuss the charges so I'll have to wait on that. Because the charges are all pending, there's nothing I or my bank can do until they actually post. Here's hoping they NEVER post... yeah, good luck with that, right?! THIS COMPANY IS EVIL! How can anyone screw people over this bad?!?!!? They need to be ruined!

Rip off
I had to make a call from Brussels airport to France in order to warn my family of a flight delay.
I used my credit card on one of the public phones because I didn't have any euros on me.
I made 3 calls, which only 2 did actually went to the recipient... These latter ones were less than 2 minutes each.
The calls were charged respectively 15.96, 15.99 and 27.92 € on my mastercard !!! Even the unreached recipient has been charged !!
It's a total shame and a big lack of serious of the Brussels Airport to let such pirate companies (phones owned by the american company : BBG communications) rip off their passengers like that !!!
The communication fees are not even written on the telephones which clearly shows that these guys use a strategy of crooks !!!
Brussels Airport must kick these thieves out or we're gonna do so by our own !!

overcharging
I recently travelled to Singapore for work and while staying at Changi Village tried to make a phone call to tell my girlfriend in Australia the time I would be home. I tried 5 attemps to call with no success (always a unavailable dial tone) and finally gave up. I checked my bank statement 2 days later and they have charged me $216 AUD. I have been in contact with my bank and i will be disputing the claim I will keep posted about the outcome.

Fraudulent rates/double quote
I used a thrid party (BBG) collect calling service in France. When I placed the call I asked the BBG operator the rates of the destination call. He told me there would be a $5 conection fee then 1$ american per min. I made 11 calls for total of 91 mins. Today Dec 8th 2010 i recived my phone bill. The collect calls using BBG totaled 750.00!!!
When calculating the cost at rates I was told that would equal $282.00. Far as I am concered Ihave been a victim of fraud by this company!!

Class Action
Class Action Against BBG Communications. Payphone Credit Card Scam
If you feel that you have been scammed and have a complaint against this company then continue to this website: www.bbgcommunications.info
and join the CLASS ACTION
BBG Communications overcharges thousands of consumers a day at payphones around the world .The scam is simple, their payphones which are in international airports and hotels list the price for coin calls, but there is no mention of the outrageous charges for credit card calls.
Unsuspecting travelers who use a credit card to make a call only learn when they get their credit card bill that the minimum call could cost over $25.Consumers tell us they also get huge bills for calls that don’t even go through
The company goes by a number of names, BBG Londoon, BBG Luxembourg, International Satellite Communications, BBG Holand, Faircall, NTCS etc. For consumers whatever the name, the outcome is the same, being stuck with huge credit card bills.
One of the reasons BBG COMMUNICATIONS are getting away with their activities is because the amounts involved per individual are insignificant enough not to warrant victims taking individual legal action. But a CLASS ACTION can be instituted on behalf of a large group of people collectively bringing a claim to court
Add your claim to the CLASS ACTION.
