I have now called all of our phone line carriers, local, long distance and cellular,and had third party blocks placed on every line (3 cell phones, and 4 phone lines) so we will no longer get unauthorized charges on our bills. We highly recommend this to everyone.
The other day i called the FCC and it is true that a bill was passed allowing cramming to be easy. Apparently, if any third party company can match the name on the account with the number (as shown in any directory listing - it is that easy), they can then illegally call your carrier and say that you have authorized a third party charge and your carrier, by law, MUST charge you for the charge, without question. In other words, it is completely left up to the consumer to protect themselves. You must request the third party block.
