OAN, INC OF PONTE VERDE BEACH, FL put a charge for $7.64, including tax, on my Verizon phone bill. The number I allegedly called, 101 515-8000, appears to be some type of access code, per Verizon. I called Verizon and had them remove the charge. I also instructed Verizon to put a miscellaneous block on my phone bill so that no one can piggyback on to my bill with Verizon acting as their collections agent.

Finally, I went to the FCC website and filed a complaint of "cramming" against these bozos. Picture they do this to several million people and maybe 100,000 or so don't bother to see someone unauthorized has "crammed" a fraudulent billing onto their telephone bill. Verizon had suggested I call OAN and have them remove the charge. I pointed out they won't bill me separately as this is a scam and Verizon operator argued with me! Incredible. I think Verizon should be included in this as an accessory to cramming. After all, I'm sure OAN and others pay a fee to Verizon to handle the billing.
