is there such a scam that asks u to take a survey and then uses the number sequence to charge long distance to your account... someone called it high-jacking?
if so, how can i find out if that just happened to my husband?

If they are going to hijack your line calling you would NOT be part of the process. I believe you are referring to a scam the worked with SOME business phone systems that involved tricking someone into transferring a call to an outside line. This in not possible for a single line. It doesn't work with most current business phone systems either.

just refuse the charges on your phone bill they will take them off if you pitch a fit..Ask to talk to a supervisor that always works..
