Money Minute: FTC Accuses T-Mobile of Bogus Billing

T-Mobile duped subscribers for hundreds of millions of dollars in bogus fees, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

If you're a T-Mobile subscriber you may want to take a closer look at your past bills to see if there were any unusual charges. The FTC accuses the mobile carrier of knowingly allowing third parties to text their customers without their consent. The information texted tended to be things like celebrity gossip, flirting tips and horoscope information. Customers were typically charged $9.99 a month but the FTC says T-Mobile US (TMUS) made it hard for customers to detect the charges. T-Mobile allegedly got 30 to 40 percent of the third party fees. The FTC's goal is for customers to get refunded for any unwarranted fees so again check your billing statements.
