Flycell.com billed me $80 for nothing and won't refund.

Flycell complaint by Porkchop
Flycell, a NY company, billed me $20 a month on my cell phone bill for four months (total $80). By the time I tracked down who was billing me, I contacted them and told them I never asked for or received any service from them (I don't even know what they do) and asked for a refund. They refused. I filed a complaint with the BBB of NY and they were unsuccessful in getting my money back. They said they have a large amount of complaints about this company and, in fact, they have an article about Flycell on their website.

I've been looking for new ringtones on Verizon Wireless, and I wandered on to the Flycell website. I found a voice ringtone I thought was hilarious, that Verizon Wireless only had as a ringback. I really wanted it as my ringtone. I almost put my phone number in.....when I remembered my coworker saying how some websites charge you $10.00 a month while we were discussing buying ringtones online. I played it smart and googled "Is Flycell a scam" and sure enough...complaint after complaint after complaint. I almost gave them my number! :eek

Flycell is the real scam. Stay away.  

 

Best way is file a dispute to your credit card company and reverse it from there.

My phone was recently billed $9.99 by Flycell.com for an alleged complimentary ringtone which I did not authorize or use. I sent a text to 69999 (which they provided when they took my money from my cell) to opt out but my charge was never reversed. They just emailed me the text below, from :
