I called the billing # about all of those charges a while back and asked for the lady to explain each one and then questioned who authorized these charges. I didnt expect any results but damn, was she getting indignant because i wanted answers. Sort of fun in a disturbed sort of way if you know what I mean.:D :D NSF
