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 went on to the Verizon Wireless site and blocked their own collection numbers LMAO Maybe now they will leave a voicemail or have a human answer the phone when you call back. I have blocked all the number they use! They are relentless with the harrassment. Big deal I owe 80 bucks, you will get it when I get it.
Whoever this is, calls several times a day and yes, just hangs up. It has to be some type of collection company, as they are the only folks who do this type of intense calling.
great , i am going to do the same. They harass you after 3 weeks that the payment is due ,on top of that charge 5$ . Their customer service is horrible , I had to call 4 month in a row to tell everytime my credit card number had changed, got apology email, still did not update credit card number ...... they really have the ability to exasperate their customers....
