[B]Hi Tony,
Thank you for posting this information.
I want to add my opinion also. It seems to me that even if the usa phone company is only acting as a billing agent, they are participating in the fraud by collecting this bill! They know it as a fraud but yet still collect the money for it????? See what I mean? Warning the public protects them also. So when the usa phone company bills over 24,000.00 I wonder what there cut is? They get paid something for their service and it mat be a % rate. So, it adds up to one thing. The usa phone companies are making money on a fraud, and do not wish to stop! Right? The usa phone co. are helping this fraud to be. If they did not collect the money for it then it would not happen. And it seems to me that if the usa phone companies went to the government, the government would allow them to not collect the money and therefore put an end to it. If no money can be made, the fraud stops! And if they do not, it will continue. When they catch these guys, another will emmerge from the darkness and do the same thing until a new law is made. The whole thing is quite interesting, and in the end usa phone companies will benefit from all the news/free advertisement.
