So I saw their charges on my ATT bill and called them up immediately. They claimed we have subscribed their services by clicking one of them pop-up mail. I told them it's not true and what they did was freud. They said they would refund my $$ and stop the services.

THEY ARE SCAMMING!

THERE WAS A CHARGE ON MY AT&T PHONE BILL FOR $16.22 FROM OAN FOR SOME SIGNATURE MARKET NEWS, LLC.
I NEVER AUTHRIZED THIS CHARGE, NEITHER HAVE I EVER HEARD OF SUCH A COMPANY.

I received a bill from some company called OAN on my Verizon phone bill. The charge, with taxes came to $46.98. I finally located the 'reason' on my phone bill. It says I called a 900 # for 'Lavalife. I called the 800 OAN # and told the guy to remove the charge from my phone bill immediately. HE went on to read to me the greetings you would get if you called Lavalife. I told him to remove the charge immediately. He went on to read yet another greeting that one would hear if one called Lavalife. He stated that you are given a chance to hang up before the beep and you will not be charged $40. Once more I demanded that he remove the charge immediately.

He finally heard me and agreed to remove it AND THE $40 CHARGE ON NEXT MONTH'S BILL!!! What in the h*ll?? What I figure is that they are collecting thousands of dollars from people who automatically have their bills paid by their bank accts and don't look at their bills. I've read about people being charged an extra $7 or whatever but this is beyond that and these people need to be locked up.

I then called Verizon demanding an answer as to how they allowed this to happen The operator said that the gov't forced them to allow other companies to add on whatever bills they wanted to the phone bills. I had her block all add ons to my bill and all 900 numbers for whatever reason. The operator said that other people call and complain but this was the first time she'd seen this. I alerted her to the class action suite that other people can join on the internet.Beware of this scum!

Telephone bill from Verizon, husband mentioned it had increased, AFTER he mailed the full payment. A review of the bill, by me, showed OAN Toll call of $5.39 plus *misc* chg of 1.65 and state tax of .36 for $7.50 total. I'd never heard of OAN. I called the tel number listed for OAN(Operator Assisted Network) and a person, informed me that *someone* used 10 15 16 800 on May 5 to call for a business in Las Vegas, NV(What????) explaining that the business number was possibly not in used, and *someone*, as I said it wasn't us, must have seen the advertisement for OAN which would then locate the new number. NOT US. He is crediting the bill, and he had no knowledge of whether we'd been charged for this type charge before, he DIDN'T have that information.

After reading previous posts I will do further research on this scam, IMHO

OAN charged about me $8 through Verizon bill for "operator assisted call" which was never made. I called OAN and first they did not want to credit the charge, but once I told them that googling "OAN fraud" brings up several hundred hits, they agreed. But I had to waste lots of time waiting for their operator to respond. From Verizon I learned that to way to prevent this kind of things is to ask Verizon not to provide billing services to a third party. By the way, in Verizon they've heard lots of complaints about OAN.
