TMobile Fraud

Just found $200 bucks of fake charges on my Tmobile bill for May. Some number in California, Santa Barbara - googling reveals that these may be 'charges' for calls forwarded to voice mail, which is actually a service included in my plan. Not to mention no one calls me every minute between 7:21 and 7:26am. Except telemarketers maybe. This is really disturbing and confusing and adds to my totally awful day! Lovely.

T-mobile customers, check your statements - in the US the fake charges are at 99 cents.

I am having the same issues and would like to know if this is only happening to you when you are roaming internationally? I have been a happy customer with t-mobile for 7 years and only had this to happen to me recently when I went on a cruise. After talking to several t-mobile reps. they were willing to give me a $39.99 credit. The problem is, the calls totaled over $100.00 :(

This just happened to me, on 2 different back-to-back international trips. The charges total close to $500. I used my phone for email/web on the trips, but never answered or made a single call.

This is a new scam that T-Mobile has started in 2007, because I've visited the same countries before and this didn't happen. How can they get away with this? I'm definitely not paying these charges.
