Don't let just anyone/any business charge my phone account and expect me to pay it.

Here's an idea. How about Verizon actually does some back ground checking on services that are charged to customer's phone accounts without their permission. Maybe Verizon should have some accountability for the Bogus companies they allow to slap charges on the customer's bills without having ever ordered a product or service. It will be a cold day in hell before Verizon sees the money for a charge I received for a service I never ordered. Shame on you Verizon, you pay it, you allowed it!

Unfortunately, it is super-easy to sign up for a third party service and not realize it. We had this happen once (on our cell phone) from a facebook application of all things!

Since this doesn't really fall under a new idea, I'm going to have it moved to one of the residential boards. Normally I'd tell you that your peers can help you, since this is a peer-to-peer support forum. But it just so happens someone posted about third party billing, so instead I'm going to refer you to that thread. You can find it here.
