While filing our taxes, I noticed an increase that never went down on our telephone land line bill. I'm almost embarrassed to say I didn't notice the monthly charge on my AT&T Phone bill for 9 months. I started to investigate the charge from USBI aka Cheap2Dial. Since we use our wireless for long distance and even have AT&T as our long distance provider 'just in case' on our landline - I called Cheap2Dial thinking it must be a mistake.

I was told I signed up via the internet. I know with 100% certainty that this is blatantly false. I requested they send me my enrollment information which they did. The information they sent contained a bogus email and a fictitious birthday. When I asked for refund they refused.

PLEASE, please - I implore anyone who is making this horrible company rich without even knowing it to file a complaint with the FCC. This is illegal and is pure fraud. Google Barry Rynearson the owner. He deserves to be behind bars.

The FCC may be our only recourse and they take these complaints VERY seriously.

Somebody is sitting on a yacht with our hard earned, UNAUTHORIZED, stolen dollars.

Well looks like they are still getting away with this scam. I received my ATT&T phone bill today to find charges on it for cheap2dial. When I called them they told me some guy filled out an online application and advised me to pay the $17.00 charge. I guess at $17.00 a pop they will still come out on top.

On my AT&T home phone bill I was billed for a monthly service called "cheap2dial tel" with a billing agent named "USBI" They told me when I called that I had contracted "online" with their company for service and they would send me an email to confirm that. I (probably unwisely) gave them my email address... They told me I could call back and ask for credit after recieving the email confirmation that I had indeed subscribed. They told me they had canceled and blocked my phone number from any further charges. We shall see...
