: Dear Newsgroup readers:

Snipped all the outrage.

You may well get a warning from one of your credit card companies, but 
they normally call.  A buying pattern out of the norm may indicate 
someone stole your card.  Likewise the large phone bill may mean someone 
was illegally charging calls to your phone some way.

Granted their wording could have been phrased better, but they were 
trying to protect you and themselves.

I recently had a spate of third party calls on my business phone from a 
resthome in Smithfield.  After having to get adjustments two months in a 
row, I contacted bellsouth to get third party block.

I wish AT&T had notified me as  up until that time I never had any third 
party calls billed to me.  AT&T bills directly and I have resisted 
getting Bell south to put it on their bill.
