TURN legislative director was interviewed on CBS-5 Investigates about Bay Area consumers' ongoing problems with extra charges appearing on their phone bills. The California Public Utilities Commission is supposed to stop companies from ripping off consumers, but both TURN and CBS-5 have trouble getting answers about what they're doing to stop it.

  • Phone company fraud: aggragator ESBI (aka: ILD, and other aliases) sends thousands of unauthorized billings from hundreds of fraudulant companies directly to phone customers phone bills. Parent Company BSG (Billing Services Group) of San Antonio, Texas and corporate offices in Bahamas trades on AIM exchange symbol BIL.L . $142.7 million year ending Dec 2008.

  • I live in Mississippi and was billed $400.00 in fraudulant third party billings. At&t told me they knew it was a scam, yet are mandated by FCC to bill for these companies, however FCC states that the phone companies have the right to cancel a contract with companies which have high amounts of complaints, etc., but they do not because they are making big money out of this scam also.

  • This should be covered by national media networks as the parent company sending these charges, BSG, is located in the bahamas with links to Iraq. They trade in London with money stolen from American phone customers on AIM Exchange under BIL.L
