Undated -- The Federal Communications Commission is cracking down on 'cramming'. Obviously, we're not talking about pulling an all-nighter in hopes of acing your college finals. It's a term used for unauthorized fees on your cell phone bill. And it's possible you've paid them - without even knowing it.
Samantha Malone opened her cell phone bill and discovered she'd been charged for a game she never ordered. "I saw a charge I think it was for .99 and I didn't ever remember subscribing to anything that would warrant that charge."
Malone was a victim of cramming -- unauthorized charges that mysteriously appear on monthly phone bills. The FCC estimates Malone is one of 20 million Americans who've been schemed that way.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said, "The charges can be for voice mail or long distance that the consumer didn't request." The charges usually range from .99 to .99, but only about 5% of consumers realize they're being ripped off because the fees are hard to spot.
Regulators are now working on new rules to crack down on the problem, and they're setting up a tip sheet that will be available on www.fcc.gov to help people recognize and report suspicious charges. Genachowski said, "You can call a third party charge, that number should be on the bill, or call your phone company." Consumers should ask questions like: Do I recognize the names of all of the companies listed on my bill? Are there charges for calls I did not place or products or services I did not authorize?
Are the rates I am being charged consistent with the rates I signed up for? If you need help resolving your dispute,
you can contact the FCC at www.fcc.gov/complaints, or call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322).
Malone says her phone company didn't help her, but her credit card company resolved the problem.
Last week, the FCC recommended more than million in fines against four companies: Main Street Telephone, VoiceNet Telephone, LLC, Cheap2Dial Telephone, LLC., and Norristown Telephone, LLC. They're all accused of billing tens of thousands of consumers for unauthorized charges.

[UPDATE] Video Voyeur Accused of "Up-Skirting" Dozens of Women 2-14 Noon
Video Voyeurism? Man Arrested for Grocery Cart Camera

UPDATED 2.14.2012 6:30pm by Julie Montanaro
A Tallahassee man is accused of secretly videotaping beneath the skirts of dozens of women.
Charles Korst was initially arrested for an incident at the Publix sushi counter.
A review of his computer hard drive revealed 88 "up-skirt" videos and court records indicate one of them is of a girl as young as 10.
Police went to Charles Korst's home in search of a camera. They found an external hard drive taped to the back of his dresser. On it, they say, were dozens of videos that showed women's faces and the view beneath their skirts.
"It's shocking and it's violating," said shopper Jessica Koon. "I I come here all the time, run in, run out, and would have never suspected anybody of doing anything like that."
"I think it's outrageous for someone to want do something so egregious as to look up someone's dress," said fellow shopper Tongy Rodriguez. "Get him off the street."
Arrest papers show Korst "skirted the law' most often at Publix, but investigators say there were shoppers at Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart, Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond who were captured on tape by the accused video voyeur.
Perhaps the most shocking? Arrest papers say at least two of the victims were children under 16.
Court papers show Korst followed a young teen in Home Depot for more than 16 minutes taking at least 8 shots beneath her skirt and even removing the camera from the basket to get a full body shot.
The other young victim is estimated to be between 10 and 12 years old. That video appears to be taken in the toy aisle at Wal Mart.
"He wouldn't have been lasting long in the aisles had I seen somebody trying to do something like that. I think people need to pay more attention to their kids," said shopper Brian Durham, "and people need to pay attention to the surroundings."
Arrest papers say some of the video clips even include full or partial views of Korst's own face.
Most of the videos were taken between February and October of 2011.
Korst is accused of videotaping as many as six women in one day.
Police also found what they say are three pornographic pictures of young children on Korst's computer hard drive.
He is facing 86 misdemeanors and five felonies. His bond is set at ,000.
Korst's attorney had no comment on the most recent charges.

UPDATED 2.14.2012 9:30am by Julie Montanaro
A Tallahassee man arrested for video voyeurism last month is now facing dozens of new charges.
Charles Korst is facing 86 new charges of video voyeurism (misdemeanors), two counts of video voyeurism on a child under 16 (felonies) and three counts of possession of child pornography (felonies).
Prosecutor Jon Fuchs says the charges were filed after a review of Korst's computer hard drive. He says there were even more videos on the computer, but he pressed charges only for videos that showed beneath women's skirts or showed women's undergarments.
Fuchs says the videos appear to be taken at stores all over town, including Home Depot, Walmart and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
Korst was arrested last month outside the Lake Ella Publix after a woman reported he was using a camera in his grocery basket to try to film up her skirt.
Korst is slated to make an appearance before a judge this morning.
Fuchs says investigators do not beleive Korst created the images of child pornography. He says those appear to be downloaded images.

A Tallahassee man is accused of stashing a camera in his grocery basket and trying to take pictures beneath a woman's skirt. He was caught and we soon discovered this was not his first venture time.
It happened at the Lake Ella Publix just after noon on Monday.
TPD arrest papers say a woman at the sushi counter first noticed a man's handheld grocery basket brushing up against her leg. She didn't want it to snag her pantyhose, arrest papers say, so she moved. Then it happened again and when she turned around she noticed a camera in the corner of his basket "with the lens extended."
Tallahassee Police arrested Charles Korst in the parking lot soon afterward on charges of video voyeurism.
"I find it shocking that someone would even do such a thing honestly. I'm just glad that the woman ran him off and he was caught," said Publix shopper Anna Smith.
A check of Leon County court records shows Korst has been arrested for voyeurism seven times. Most of them are misdemeanors and they date back to 2004.
WCTV did a story on him in 2006 when he was accused of taking pictures of women in the fitting room at Target.
Court records indicate that over the years he's done 10 days in jail, been on probation, done community service and even entered a treatment program.
This time, he's charged with a felony.
"It makes you angry that he hasn't learned his lesson. So maybe we need to teach him a lesson," shopper Connie Walberg said as she loaded groceries into her car.
"The authorities definitely need to know where he's at all the time. There's no telling what this guy is capable of doing. It may lead to something else," shopper Steven Walker said.
Korst was released from jail on 00 bond. His attorney Bill Davis says he does not comment on a pending case and has no comment on Korst's past run ins with the law.

You know even going through felony arrests on WCTV it seems you see at least one sexual predator a week if not more. I think spending taxpayers dollars would be a good idea in these cases. No, not for the jail time, but see that every sexual predator never has the chance to do anything stupid again. Make them unics, nothing there, nothing to think about or try doing.....

I'm proud of my Scottish blood and sometimes where a kilt. If he filmed under my kilt then I hope it doesn't end up on a Gay website or revealed in court.

How about LE let this guy loose in a pin with all the women that he has taken pictures off.. That way all parties get what they want.. the guy with a bunch of women, and the women get their justice..... just let these ladies beat him up...so we don't have to spend more tax payers money.

From the manager at the Calf where we went for the evening:
"Finally, the total bill for the night might also have to include an extra £20 for a young man called Geoff, I believe. At 1:30am I did my little tour of the pub to find a man, dressed in what appeared to be full rabbit regalia, passed out on one of my toilets, drooling heavily, and trying but definitely failing, to speak. He was politely but firmly removed from the building, and I gave him £20 to get a cab! Could this either be added to your company card, or can someone ask Geoff to come and pay me back! Its not a major problem though - £20 certainly covered the comedy value!"
