Florida investigates complaints about prepaid phone cards
Tagged: attorney, family, Florida
Every week, millions of consumers buy prepaid calling cards, primarily to make international calls to family and friends. But many low-cost calling cards don’t deliver what they promise, law enforcement officials say.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum has launched an investigation into the marketing and business practices of 10 companies — four of them based in South Florida — prompted by more than 200 consumer complaints filed about calling cards last year. Many consumers, including a large proportion of Hispanic immigrants, alleged the companies did not disclose hidden fees and misrepresented the number of calling minutes they received.”*
