Narrative:
I was supposed to remain on continuous duty overnight. At around XA30 in the morning I received a call from our scheduling departure and was going to be extended to ZZZ. I didn't really think anything of it but I know that if you work a continuous duty overnight you're only legal for 14.5 hours. When we arrived at the airport to continue back to clt; I got another call from scheduling saying they were going to extend me once again and put a YYY roundtrip on top of the ZZZ roundtrip. I asked the scheduler if this was legal because I was on a continuous duty overnight and she said yes. I asked them to facsimile the modified schedule to the clt crew room and I would get it when we returned to clt. When we arrived in clt and I picked up my schedule; I was going to be working until XJ00 and I was only legal to work until XF20. I assumed they made a mistake so I called them and informed them of the problem and told them that I was not legal to work the trip. She kept telling me I was on reduced rest and finally xferred me to the scheduling supervisor. She also told me I was on reduced rest; and I told her I was never informed.
