Corded home phone issue solved

I use Vonage as my phone service provider. I have been having very scratchy calls lately for about the last month to the point where my friends didn't want to talk to me. I spent hours on the phone with Vonage to try and correct the problem. It turned out it was an old headset. When the copper wire gets degraded and the copper wire breaks down and frays, the broken connections come in contact with each other and make static. Quite annoying and very easy to fix. I just picked up a new plantronics headset and the problem was solved.

Credit Card scam beware

I had a friend of mine call me telling me about how he got scammed out of $12,000. Someone paid his credit cards down $12,000 and then requested the money back. He believes that the people were out of Russia but they were using a Florida address. He refused and contacted Citibank about returning the funds that were deposited in his Bank of America Account. He made the exchange, did the right thing and got nailed. Bank of America is now coming after him for the $12,000. Very odd but true. If this happens to you, you might want to hang on to the money even though it was stolen from somewhere else. In this case doing the right thing cost my friend $12,000.

Billing Solutions Inc. Update

I did get it resolved. My real bill is $60 and not the $430. It was due and I did owe it. I can say the Wells Fargo was not helpful at all in terms of getting it resolved. All they had to do was call the billing company and they wouldn't. I had to have my attorney call wells fargo to get the right information so I could get this sorted out. My answer to the question is Billing Solutions Inc. a scam, no. I do find it odd how screwed up a bill can be for 3 faxes though. I do think the level of service is insulting that I got from Wells. Not everyone has the luxury to use an attorney to get things sorted out.
