A couple of months ago our cell phone bill increased by $50. We went into the Verizon store to find out what was going on. They said my husband had signed up for 5 phone notification services like horoscopes and such and he had done it online without even knowing it. One of those apps that look free but ask for you cell phone number. He also had received 26 text messages in less than a minute and we don't have a text package. Verizon dropped the fees by 1/2 and put a block on his phone so he can't get text messages.

while the internet and cell phones a\have great uses, it seems they are a great place for scammers as well!

The key is to look at your bill every month.
