Or just a billing mistake like I had in my last statement. They still can't say how this happened but I had three 45+ sporting event charges along with about 10 On Demand PPV movie charges. Thos PPV and On Demand charges came to more than my entire bill. They were very nice and took all charges off without question almost like it was common place. I was amazed they would allow me to buy that much in a one week period considering I've never ordered any PPV except for just once in over 10 years. You would think like a credit card company they might track unusual activity like more than 10 on demand and three sporting events in one week. That would be very unusual. I ended up having them zero out my credit limit so anything PPV related would be denied and they said that should fix any billing error in the future but I don't quite believe them.
