If you’re an AT&T customer, you may be getting some money in the mail soon. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced today that an investigation found the telecom guilty of allowing unauthorized third-party charges for fake services.
The FCC’s investigation was carried out by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) during its own investigation of two Ohio-based companies for drug-related crimes and money laundering.
The DEA discovered that some AT&T customers, mostly small businesses, were being charged $9 a month for fake directory services for landline telephones.
