Was in the bank today and got a printout of recent transactions on my checking. Apparently I've been spending money with my debit card to an outfit in California that (I assume from the name) is some kind of 900 # associated with live shows.

Cancelled the card and put the charges (three of them) in dispute.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight !!

900 numbers still exist? I thought they'd gone away with the payphones and pagers.

When my son was 13-14 he racked up about 300 dollars in 900 numbers. I talked to the phone company. They insisted I pay. I told them to shut my phone off then. They said they would block 900 calls from my phone and leave it on but I would get contacted by collection companies. I told the collection agency how old my son was and that I would be happy to go to court over the matter. No more calls about paying.
