AT&T, California Settle Over Fraudulent Phone Charges

Via CBS5.com.

CBS 5 has learned a first-of-its-kind settlement has been reached between the State of California and the state's largest wireless phone company for charging customers when their phones are stolen.

Attorney General Brown will file the court settlement on Wednesday fining AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless for $500,000 and will order the company to stop charging for fraudulent calls.

ConsumerWatch reporter Jeanette Pavini sat down with the Attorney General on Tuesday to discuss the settlement between the State and AT&T.

Pavini asked Brown if cell phone companies were breaking state law for charging customers for the calls.

"Oh yeah," Brown said. "They were breaking the law in our opinion."
