I have had about $300. In charges put on from vesta wireless and I don’t have an att phone account or an att phone just an att credit card. I have been disputing this for two months. Some of the charges have been reversed but $93.09 isn’t so far. I had to get new card and now another new card to fight att credit card company so I can start a new dispute for the $93.09 that was put back on my first new card. I had a letter that I can get a lawyer to dispute that but who would pay for that. Crazy that people can scam other people and get away with it.

I have a benefit card through my insurance. And since May of this year someone has been purchasing a prepaid card off of my card I've lost a total of $181 and some change. My insurance is investigating these charges but I don't want to pay my phone bill with my card anymore. And I don't even have AT&T help what is really going on?
