at least $10 thus, overcharges per month: at least $3 billion per month. $3 BILLION!!!
PER MONTH!!! And BBG has been scamming for at least five years. Give BBG the benefit the doubt and assume that it's taken five years for BBG to steadily get its operation up to speed. Then BBG has fleeced only about $100 billion from unsuspecting travelers.
While $3 billion per month is an astounding figure, it requires just an average of $40 in overcharges per phone per day if you control 2,600,000 phones. It's really not so
hard to make a dishonest $3 billion per month (or if you prefer, $100 million per
day, or $1000 per second). Just
do whatever it takes to acquire a huge world worldwide monopoly on credit card billing for airport and hotel phones and gouge the
living daylights out of each of millions of unsuspecting travelers. The credit card companies and hotels
will be on your side, since they get a nice cut of the action.
BBG can (and does) call itself a telecommunications company
when in fact its business is just grossly overbilling credit cards. BBG can (and does) lie about its
business location in order to maximize confusion for anyone who tries to hold them accountable for their behavior. BBG can (and
does) try to hide under more than a dozen names, including International
Satellite Communications, BBG Global AG, BBG London, BBG Luxemburg, Faircall
(!), and NTCS, to name just a few.
But BBG can't hide from its more than 1,000 victims who have
permanently documented their righteous fury on the Internet. (These among the millions BBG has so
shamelessly and abusively deceived and cheated.) And it can't hide from the class action lawsuit against BBG
Communications filed in California Southern District Federal Court on November
12, 2010. To read about this
lawsuit, do a Google search with words: bbg investigative class action. It's time for us to get all of our $100 billion back. |
