PUC: Beware of phone-bill fraud
Commission warns Texas residents to watch forfraudulent, mistaken bills
artof tli
thel

AUSTIN (AP) — Reading a phone
bill might be as exciting as reading
the local yellow pages, but officials at
tlie Texas Public Utility Commission
say Texans could protect themselves
from fraud simply by reviewing their
monthly statements.
The PUC on Monday opened
an investigation into the growing
problem of fraudulent and mis
taken billing by various phone
companies. The practice, known
as cramming, is quickly becom
ing a top complaint at the utility
commission. Officials want to
know how it happens and how to
stop it.
Commission Chair Pat Wood
said Texans need to scrutinize their
bills and question anything that
doesn’t look right.
“If you’ve got something weird,
call us,” he urged Texans. “Some of
this is just plain fraud.”
Under federal law, local phone
companies, such as Southwestern
Bell, that do their own billing must
provide billing services to other
telephone companies, like AT&T
and many lesser known companies.
Those companies can offer a wide
range of services, from paging to
voice mail.
Wayne Detjen of SWB said Bell
cannot verify the accuracy of charges
provided by other companies on
SWB bills. “We have to take the ser
vice provider’s word,” he said.
Detjen added that even if the
billing company knows people in
volved with a new company have de
frauded customers in the past, feder
al law does not allow them to deny
billing services to the new company.
Detjen said he recalled only once
when SWB stopped billing for a
company that was ripping off cus
tomers. He said that landed SWB in
court and took a long time and a lot
of money to resolve.
Michael Nighan, a regulatory af
fairs representative for Frontier
Communications, a small long dis
tance company, said it’s up to the
PUC to identify the bad guys.
“We can’t play judge and jury,” he
said. “You tell us who you don’t want
us to serve, and we’ll not serve them.”
Janee Briesemeister, a policy
analyst for Consumers Union,
said Texans won’t always be pro
tected even if they carefully read
their bills.
By law, phone customers who
don’t pay all toll charges on their
monthly bills can have their long
distance and local telephone ser
vices disconnected. That means if
a customer finds a bogus toll
charge, they face losing local ser
vice if they fight it, she said,
adding that the PUC could
change that rule.
Briesemeister also suggested the
PUC require companies that send
Tu
the bills to fully itemize them am
scrutinize the services for whir-
other companies are billing.
Most often, the billingcompan ^
refers complaints to the compan
that claims to have provided tl>
questioned service. That comp®
at times is not responsive or refe
calls back to the billing compan! t
Briesemeister said.
“Someone has to be held «
countable,” she said. "They jin
keep pointing their fingers backaij <
forth about who is responsible.’
The PUC plans to hold heariif t
and discussions on the issue In
several weeks before deciding wltf prices!
if any, action it can take.
Wood said the commission conli
have to turn to the Legislature h
more power or to the attorney gear
al to prosecute bad companies.
“The main thing I would liken
use is the bully pulpit to get then
people out ofTexas,” he added.
