Senate vs Calling Card Companies
If you've ever used phone cards, there's a good chance you've gotten ripped off at some point. All too often shady practices seem to be the rule, rather than the exception.
It looks like now the US Senate is taking a closer look at calling card company scams, in particular Elite Telecom and GEO Telecom:
It looks like now the US Senate is taking a closer look at calling card company scams, in particular Elite Telecom and GEO Telecom:
The Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing to examine hidden charges and fees, unfair conditions and incomprehensible disclosures buried in the fine print of prepaid calling card terms. Examples include hang-up fees of 99 cents for calls that are not connected and off-peak calling times that last from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.Has any of this happened to you before? And if so, what phone card were you using?

Pongo (a calling card company) has an "f" rating from the Better Business Bureau. I suggest before anyone signs up for a calling card or calling card service to check the BBB website. Also, do not trust supposed review sites such as www.callingcardreport.com they have PONGO as their #1 rated calling card.
Sleeze ball marketing people create these sites (http://www.31media.com/). They should be ashamed. It's up to the consumer to protect themselves and I urge people to report fraudulent businesses to the BBB.
