AT&T Advertising Solutions FRAUDULANT, DECEPTIVE, NEVER SIGNED CONTRACT NOW THREATENING LEGAL ACTION FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTERNET

Sales rep called my husband. He offered pay per call advertising at $10 a call over a certain number of seconds to ensure call was accepted. Only accepted calls would be billed. My husband consulted me, I told him we want everything in writing, send us the contract. Husband told the rep send it to us in writing. Contract was received. At the time we were contemplating shutting down the business as business was slow and I didn't want to commit to anything so we never signed or returned the contract. And then the calls started. We have called several times to disconnect the number they use to forward calls to us. Some times they would "look into the problem" some would tell us they would disconnect it but they never stopped coming. These calls are forwarded to my husband's cell phone. He has not been accepting them. Which leads me to their lies: #1 verbally he was told $10 per call, we are being charged $14 per call #2 only answered calls would be charged. He does not answer any calls and is being charged for all of them. They have played a recording of him "agreeing" to the contract. Of course this recording does not include their conversation covering pricing or him telling them we wanted to see it all in writing first. The contract we received included a proof of the ad, which we never approved. Now we "owe" thousands of dollars and they are threatening to go to court and garnish his wages. I don't even understand how they are allowed to present themselves as affiliates of AT&T. They use the AT&T logo on their website but when asked they are not affiliated with AT&T. I am going to attempt to write a letter to their legal department. I find it interesting their customer service reps have it so readily available.

I am gathering any information anyone may have regarding the pay per call program to organize a possible class action to deter this type of business practice. It only takes a few people with minimal interest to take action to promote fair business practices for small business owners. As always there is no guarantee that every business owner will recover the full amount of his or her damages in a class action. However, if you have information please contact rhodenlawoffice @ gmail .com. S. M. Rhoden Fayetteville, AR
