it's a LIVE XXX phone sex

The same thing happened to me and I saw these charges from TRITON GLOBAL for a call from (519) 489-0021, and told the phone company I would not pay for those charges.  They said they would refund my account and the company would then probably bill me.  I told my friend about this call and she then talked to someone she knew and they sent me the email informing me it was happening to other people as well.  I then phone back the phone company Bell and they told me to call phone busters and the local police.
