It is NOT Verizon Wireless, and I just proved it. I just got the call (I never answer), then immediately checked my Verizon Wireless account; my bill was paid in full 9/13/10, and I do NOT owe any overdue balances.
This is a total scam. My answering machine records part of a recorded message to press '2' or something like that, then the call disconnects. The one time Verizon Wireless did call me about my bill, they left left a full, clear message in which they identified themselves.
I would NEVER answer a call on my cell phone that also calls my house phone and does not leave a message. If I happen to answer, say Hello and someone doesnt' respond - I hang out. I am NOT listening to some automated crap from ANY COMPANY EVER. With what these companies charge us, they can afford to pay someone to politely leave me a message OR be there to respond when I have a moment to answer the phone. Don't make me stop what I'm doing to get no response to my hello, or have some machine try to talk to me - that is unprofessional, rude and I won't tolerate it at all!
I keep getting these phone calls from these collection agents 4 times a day every day,and only on my cell. these phone #s,1-800-497-0351,1-800-497-0361 and a new one just today 910-338-0672.I have done just done this 1 week ago,so I dont know if they are going to do anything or not. So far they have not.I should just answer it and give him a piece of my mind and to take me out of their system.I hope you all can do something about these leachs. Thanks for listening or reading. M
