I just got billed from ILD Communications in Mazatlan on my long distance provider bill in Canada (Telus Communications). My daughter called me collect from Mazatlan for which I got billed $10.00 / minute from ILD communications. I was never informed on the cost per minute before accepting the call;. I never authorized ILD Communications to bill my provider at extortion rates of 14, 000%, that is right fourteen thousand percent over what my long distance provider charges me!. That amount is |.07 cents / minute/. I am more than willing to pay a reasonable price for phone service but $10, .00 / minute is not reasonable, it is extortion:. Be careful when accepting collect calls from Mexico.. If ILD wants to negotiate a respectable price, I will listen otherwise this is a bill that won't be paid!

My cell phone had no coverage during a trip to Atlanta to pick up my children. I had to call their father to meet him. For a less than five minute long distance phone call (his cell phone is from Texas) I was charged $38.68. When I called ILD communications they listed off the many extra fees and extra charges with absolutely no apology. Ridiculous! It's no wonder that pay phones are becoming obsolete! I am very pissed! I promise to never use another pay phone for as long as I live and also promise to let EVERYONE know about this rip off.

I was billed for services on regular phone bill. Did not know who ILD was or what I was being billed for. I never authorized them to supply me with any services what so ever. I don't have a clue how they acquired my phone number, but I guess people in the business of scamming has their ways. I never did find out what service I was billed for. The problem was getting this error resolved. Att was called, I was told to call the number on bill. This was done only to find out I had to call a third party. You know the old runaround. Finnaly reached someone to help. Now I find it may take up to three months to see this charge removed from my phone bill.

While travelling to Grand Rapids, Mi, I had to call my contect cell phone in Ohio from the airport public phone. i made the mistake to pay with my credit card.

The call lasted 2 minutes (according to records), no operator was involved. I was charged 21.36$ for the call by IDL (I found out when i received my bill).

I got from IDL the breakdownd of the charges:

Rate per minute: $1.29 x 2 = $2.58
Operator Fee = $5.99
Billing Fee= $1.75
Service Fees = $8.50
Tax: $2.54
Total= $21.36

No need to say this is a total ripoff...

I got a call from My ex-husband a few days ago telling me he was going to sue me. He said I was USING his Identity to Charge His phone bill for some VoiceMail service. He gave me the name of ILD that was on his bill. They said I Signed up online. When I asked what Website was used they gave me www.myvoicemailprize.com Its a Pop up ad for a Credit card. I never signed Up for anything like that... and I never used my Ex's phone number for anything. They said that I filled out some kind of form over the internet and when asked What phone number to bill it to... I put in My ex's number. If that is the case..I think we should bill the WHITE HOUSEs' phone number if its that easy.

The Rep told me they can give me the IP address (the address of the computer it came from)if I get a Court order.(and I'm sure they will give you a Phoney IP address anyways.) I'm sure they know that most people wont waste their money when they are scamming under $20/bill. but at the same time if everyone is getting scammed... that amount adds up.

This is Clearly Fraud and this company is making millions. I am sure there are people who may overlook these kinds of charges for months before realizing they are on their bill. I am very angry because It has caused my Ex to believe that I am trying to Fraudulently use his Identity over the internet. I wish there was a way everyone could get together and Prosecute this company for its illegal practices.
