Retro-billing, a money making scheme implemented by every service provider I've ever dealt with. A crime making them billions of easy bucks. It's a simple scheme, easily seen as a proper accounting practice, when in fact it's high priced fraud!! Tonight we discuss how this corporate crime works, and why everyone using cable and internet services are getting the massive shaft.....
What are the feds doing about it? Nothing. While continuing to invest millions into investigations spurred by anonymous tips, or set ups perpetrated by vested interests (real gangsters, state and local agencies are often the who-de-whos). Real crime costing the poor (and the rich even! GASP) major cashola runs open and wild. Like breaking into people's accounts, changing paperwork, turning them in, opening credit accounts in places like Texas, Miami; or, just do like Terror Squad 202 (mighty russian hacking machine, with arms everywhere) did recently to the subjects under yoke of the enforcers, just transfer the bucks right on outta there!
Maybe it's time to get the priorities straight. A special electronic addition to the multi-volume novel in the works - Prosecution of The Poor, America's Greatest Shame

"Caught AT&T doing what is called "retro-billing", "after-the-fact-billing", or "after_payment_billing". #rockfest It is a corporate accounting trick businesses use to pry money out of customers. It is "semi-legal" in some instances, meaning if they inform you before you are billed for the period they put the charges on, most of the time they can do it, "legally". If it is done without informing you first, on your next bill, AFTER you have paid for the period it covers, or simply appears on a billing period after the period it relates to has closed and was not disclosed prior, it is retro-active billing and is in most cases illegal. All service providers do this, and most of the time get away with it, and make billions in the process. AT&T does it often, and does it semi-legally, mostly you have to catch them and tell them nada and threaten a lawsuit to get them to rescind the charges, and even then sometimes they don't. Then your bad ass has to follow up. Watch as the tale unfolds, in the next Underground Sound webzine! Public Service Commissions and The Department Of Justice have been informed! http://undergroundrecords.org/underground.html"
