T-Mobile To Pay $90M For Unauthorized Charges On Customers' Bills

Posted by timothy on from the oh-you-wanted-honesty dept.

itwbennett writes T-Mobile US will pay at least $90 million to settle a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suit that alleged it looked the other way while third parties charged T-Mobile subscribers for services they didn't want. The settlement is the second largest ever for so-called 'cramming,' following one that the FCC reached with AT&T in October. It came just two days after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued Sprint for the same practice.

    In my case it was $9.99 per month for 5 months but my Senator got T-Mobile to refund all of my money back when this happened after I asked his office for help when I discovered the charges and got the runaround from T-Mobile when I demanded a refund.
