Charges are popping up on credit card bills in Martinsville, Danville, and Roanoke for a consumer protection service many did not ask for- or authorize.
[SHOT ACROS THE DESK= Jean/ JEN on MB SET;]
News 7 business reporter Jennifer Miele has been working on the story, Jen.
Jean, a company called "Peace and Quiet" is making calls offering to help keep your personal information away from con-artists.
[LIVE=JEN/FULL]
[SUPER=@jennifer1]
Even if you say "no" the company may still charge you.
What's scary is they already have your credit card number BEFORE they have you on the phone.

When she said "not thanks," Peace and Quiet charged her $289 anyway.
[SOT]
((FRANCES MURRAY:SEEMS TO ME THAT IT'S FRAUD THEY ARE GUILTY OF FOR THE VERY SERVICE THEY WILL BE PROTECTING YOU AGAINST.))
[RUNS10]
Frances still doesn't know how the company got her credit card number.
So, if Peace and Quiet is ringing in your ear, here's what to do.
[PRE PRO]
First if you have caller I.D. and you don't recognize the number, DON'T answer the phone.
[ADD]
If you do answer, tell them to put you on their do not call list -- federal law says the have to oblige.
[ADD]
Next, call the 800 number on the back of your credit card. Tell the company you don't want your personal information given out to ANYONE.
[ADD]
And last -- if there's a charge on your credit card bill, don't pay it.
Flip the bill over, on the back, there will be a form for unauthorized charges.
Fill it out and send it in separate from your credit card bill.
[SOT]
((FRANCES MURRAY: I'M NOT GOING TO PAY IT, I'LL GO TO COURT OR WHATEVER.))
[RUNS05] ))
[LIVE=JEN FULL;]
Authorities are investigating Peace and Quiet -- but they haven't been able to get too far.
That's because phone numbers published for the firm are always busy -- which is why we haven't been able to get a hold of anyone either.
