I posted this elsewhere but I'm trying to make sure this is heard!!

Well, I just found out that for the last 6 months, I have been charged via my phone bill for a service I never requested. How? Well it turns out that ANY company that provides phone or voice services can be added to your account with OR without your permission. How is this possible? I asked Verizon and it turns out their hands are tied. A Pennsylvania Law allows this. Crazy? Yes. How did I find this out?

I had Verizon. I closed my account on June 1st. Then when going through my bills (which were on auto-pay) I noticed this American Evoice on there. I called Verizon, who can't discuss why the charge is there ***without an order number!!!*** What crap! I had to tell them, I didn't place the order! "Then we can't assist you."

Then I got through to American Evoice. They told me they can credit me for the last three months of the billing, which is July, June, and May. I told them I already CLOSED the account. But it doesn't matter, they are giving the credit to Verizon.

But what about the rest of the charges? Because this order was placed in January? Oh, I have to email or fax their processing center to get that refund.

Truly a WTF moment.

I feel that everyone should know about this. Verizon will be issuing me a credit, and completely closing the account. It's infuriating. :(

My wife was on web site usprizedraw.com and then American eVoice was on our phone bill. We are not sure how they are connected.

This company has been withdrawing $14.95 plus tax, a month for an entire year from my ATT account. I do not receive a bill from ATT because I have it drafted from my bank account. The way I found out was when I wanted to add features to my ATT service and the representative ask me if I was aware of the extra $14.95 plus tax that I was being billed for the American eVoice Service. Certainly I was upset and unaware of the service. I am disputing the bill and asking for a full refund credited back to my account. I called, emailed and faxed American Evoice and the only thing they said was they can cancel my account with American eVoice (an account that I did not authorized) and credit my ATT account for only the last 2 months and that it will take from 1 to 2 billing cycle before it will credited. Of course I am still working on this case until I demand a full refund. How can they take a year of $14.95 plus tax from my account and credit me for only 2 months? This company took it upon theirselves to open up a scam to charge my account for a service that I have never heard of. I have never used their service. American eVoice said that they were a 1-800 answering service. I do not need a 1-800 answer service. If my land phone or my cell phone ring, I will answer it or my answering machine will. The only call I am waiting on is the one from American eVoice stating an apology and a 100% refund.

American eVoice is a scam company. They cannot be contacted to verify why there are charges on my phone bill. The phone company has no idea who they are or where the charges come from.
