10000 number传来欠费2600的消息:

Today morning, the home landline received a call from 10000 number about overdue payment. The computer voice reminded that I owed more than 2600 yuan, then I was very surprised, after hanging up, I dialed 10000 to check (manual dialing, not callback). Everything is the same as usual when calling 10000 number. Following the instructions step by step, I finally transferred to the customer service representative. The result of the inquiry was that I owed more than 2600...

I said it was impossible, because I usually use my mobile phone to make calls. Each landline fee + internet fee is only over 100 yuan. The operator said he would help me check. After checking, he told me that there was aPHS number bundled with the home landline, and the charge of over 2600 yuan was generated by that PHS. Then I said I had never activated any PHS bundling service. He insisted that I had activated it. Then I asked him to provide me with the information for activating the PHS, he told me that if I hadn't activated it, it might be due to information leakage, so I must report it first.
