Sprint operated a billing system that allowed third parties to cram unauthorized charges on customers’ mobile bills and ignored complaints about the charges, the CFPB alleged in its complaint.


Happened to me once with Verizon. They removed the charges when confronted, and I then blocked that ability for 3rd party vendors to do that. Don't know why it isn't blocked by default. Oh, yes I do.

AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon have all been caught doing this shit.

Hell, their entire pricing model is completely arbitrary.

Speaking of Verizon...
Mr. Slusher checked his Verizon account balance again on Monday to see the shocking figure: $2,156,593.64.

Mr. Slusher is scheduled to close on his new house next week, but says his mortgage company won’t sign off on a loan because of the issue, Fox reported.

“If I don’t get this straightened out in the next 24 hours, I can almost guarantee I’ll lose my house,” he said.
