Charging me for chat and text messaging for $5 / message that I didn't use. Oh, btw Koodo CS told me that they are not affiliated in anyway with Telus..what a lie. When in fact I sent the complaints to Telus and was answered by Koodo personnel..crap. Mine is worse, Being charged $600..yes it' $600 from this premium messaging that I never used and signed up for.

I got dinged $15.00 for 3 premium messages, but when I phoned to enquire as to what exactly was a premium message, I received a very vague answer and Telus could not identify just who these messages were from. Well, now I understand that Telus indeed does know who the message was from, because they are acting as bill collectors for the offending web site... they were just not prepared to tell me. I cannot, for the life of me, remember EVER signing up for such a thing, and that is something I would never do anyway. So, the fight continues with Telus to get those charges reversed.

Every time I see one of these message systems with fees, I want to cry. IQ tests, Jokes, stupid contest trvia that will cost innocents $4.00 minimum and often far more. I hate this kind of evil. Evil against innocents is the worst. I agree. Every time I see one of these message systems with fees, I want to cry.
