Unauthorized Phone Bill Charges

There have been reports that several telephone communication companies are bundling unauthorized charges that were not requested by the customer. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) calls this "cramming" — the practice of placing unauthorized charges on telephone bills.

This fraudulent scheme involves charging customers for third-party service subscriptions such as Internet access, voicemail, Web hosting, wallpaper, screen savers, yellow page listings, and more. The charges show up on their regular telephone bill. These third-party providers are actually billing clearinghouses that process phone-billed transactions on behalf of vendors. However, most of these services were never requested, authorized or known to the customer.

Defective Plumbing Fittings (Zurn Pex)Zurn, a water control manufacturing company, has sold over 139 million brass plumbing fittings over the past six years. Lawsuits have been filed against Zurn Pex and Zurn Industries — the makers of Zurn plumbing systems. The defective fittings are identified by "Q Pex" or "QPex" stamped on their side. Several lawsuits have been filed by homeowners who claim that Zurn's brass fittings were flawed or designed incorrectly. The homeowners stated that the Zurn fittings failed by cracking, splitting, or completely failing — sometimes only months after installation. Due to the failed fittings, significant water damage occurred.

Although Zurn has acknowledged an increased number of premature failures in its QPex products, it denies any responsibility for those failures. Internal documents revealed that a representative from Zurn considered the QPex fittings a “ticking time bomb.” The company has stopped selling brass Zurn Pex products in some areas and rather focusing on selling its plastic Pex fittings.
