(800) 608-9764

I had a similar experience; this time, the guy's name was Michael.  I found an $18.16 charge on my credit card statement that I didn't recognize.  I called the 800 number and Michael said based on the number I was calling to reach him (the 800 number), it was from a payphone, probably from an airport.  His company's name was "International Satellite Communications".  I have a cell phone that calls anywhere, so I don't use such ****ods.  He asked for the full credit card so he could explain it to me.  Since I don't know the company, I refused but offered to give him the last four digits.  He said he wanted the whole number.  I told him I'd be disputing the charge.  Michael couldn't have been more than 18; very young sounding.  It's a scam if I ever heard one.  I think the CC dispute will keep my money out of their pockets.

I spent a week at a conference and called my wife from the hotel pay phone every day, just a local call.  The pay phone advertised Local Calls for: "75 cents; deposit coins or insert credit card."  On two occasions I didn't have the c****e, so I inserted my credit card.  The charges were $6.13 and $5.03!  It wasn't a huge amount, but I felt ripped off, conned by false advertising on the phone.  My credit card company couldn't help.  Next to the billing item was this 800 #.  I called it and had a heated discussion with "Scott" who told me I should've called the operator first to find out what the charge would be.  Of course, the guidance to call the operator isn't listed on the pay phone either.  Scott even told me I was lucky they didn't include a connecting fee.  He said, "Most customers are charged 8-9 dollars."  I asked to speak to management, and Scott tried to give me a mailing address.  He said, "Managers aren't available to speak on the phone.  They're in San Diego; we're in Los Angeles."  I then asked if he had the highest authority at the center I was calling.  He said, "No."  I demanded to speak to someone with more authority, and that brought me to Emily.  Emily credited my card with $4.00; that was the most she could do.  Getting four bucks back was good, but this company's practice must be illegal.

i did not get a call i got billed from this number and i have long distance with verizon so why are they billing my credit card does any one know what or who this company is?
