If you’re unfamiliar with cramming, its the latest fraud being committed within the telecom industry. If you’ve experienced unauthorized
charges, hidden fees, inaccurate calculations, then you might have been a victim of cramming.
It isn’t until now that AT&T is going to review a company, Jawa who has been sending out messages that lead up to cramming. The Jawa scams involve fake opt-out messages that actually opt you in to useless $10 a month services, a profit that’s shared by large carriers anywhere between 30-50%.
We are aware of the alleged scheme outlined in the Verizon lawsuit, and we have retained a nationally recognized cyber fraud expert team to investigate JAWA to determine as quickly and effectively as possible whether or not the allegations are accurate. JAWA has agreed to cooperate by allowing these independent investigators full access to data and records. In the interim, we have suspended the short codes identified in the complaint, and have identified and suspended additional related short codes.
