Recently I saw my phone bill has some weird charges put on RingTones/AnswerTones/Games type, and charge me $40 bucks within a month.

I was quite confused and thought the money would be gone forever without knowing who's stealing my money.

Today, I search the forum and got a phone number 1-800-331-0500,

after telling them my situation, they transfer my phone to a lady named Erica {Personal content removed} ,she's so patient and knowledgeable.

Erica not only help me look into my case, she also shows her passion in working and enjoy helping people to solve their difficulties.

I was so thankful and feel lucky it's Erica helps me today, hope that is AT&T's spirit, all people in AT&T are like her.

I only asked Erica help to looks into my phone bill history this month, and hope I could get my $40 back, (Frankly speaking, I didn't eventhink about getting back,  just wanna know what happened, who's charging me.)

 Now, Erica helps me turn on my "purchaseblocker", and get me $70 back, she said there's more charges but she can only disputed within certain days (I think it's 90 days), I am already so happy I know the reason, could block the fraud party, and get more than $40back.

AT&T, keeps your spirit, I hope you could have more people like Erica, and I will not be cheap to spread my positive good words for you. 

I was using AT&T pay to go, for awhile I was wondering how come my money used so fast, did I talk on the phone too much.

Yesterday I just found out someone is charging me $19.99 per month without noticing me and sending any invoice.

Then I realize not only credit card, even your phone number could be used as a tool as money spinner.

This is it 

Call Information:

You should call 1-800-331-0500 tell them the situation,  they will transfer the phone to someone who can help.

The lady who helps me today her name is Erica Currid, she's super nice and knowledgeable,

she helps me find more charges that I didn't know and turn on the "Purchase Blocker" for me.

I didn't got all my money back, since they can only do within $90 days, but I got almost $100 back.

Can't believe I was so careless to let the third party steal my money like theirs.

Anyway, good luck, and you can always go to AT&T Forum to see or discuss your situation, lots of nice people will help you solve your problem.

Btw, don't give out your cell phone easily, especially to those online stuff.

This is the one I test how much IQ I got, then I got charge twice in one day without knowing.

Recently I am in love with using USPS'S CLICK-N-SHIP service, especially during holiday season,
avoiding the long line, and avoid to meet any unhappy USPS worker.

It happened few times while I use "CLICK-N-SHIP", sometime it charge me twice. Today, I learned how to get refund.

and click on the item which is being charged mistakenly,

See there's a Request Refund buttom? That's it, after click on that, I believe you know how to finish get your refund back, good luck.
