Is this post a commercial?

But Verizon is the biggest rip off company out there. Verizon is the biggest perpetrator of the scam known as cramming.

Cramming is a form of fraud in which small charges are added to a bill by a third party without the subscriber's consent or disclosure. These may be disguised as a tax or some other common fee, and may be several dollars or even just a few cents. he crammer's intent is that the subscriber will overlook and ultimately pay these small charges

Just do a google search on their cramming partners IDL teleservices

So Verizon is great if you love surprises, as in surprise charges on your phone bill but other than that I would stay as far away from the crooks at Verizon as possible.

Verizon is also another company that does a lot of the "All White Males are idiots" type commercials.

I would tend to agree that you could be right.

My home phone was Verizon. I found out that I was paying for some of these things you mention, including third party billed “roadside assistance” (WTF does that have to do with a phone????)

Calls to Verizon asking them to remove the charges and prevent further charges were met with demands that I had to call the third party provider. The third party provider refused to refund charges and even kept hanging up on me.

Called Verizon back and the sonsabitches wouldn’t do anything about it and when I insisted that they remove the charges they hung up on me! 3 times!

So I quit paying the bill, and put internet powered phone service in the house. Best thing I ever did. That was 4 years ago.

Verizon then turned the bills over to a collection agency. I wrote the collection agency a letter telling them that these charges were unauthorized and illegal and they were to never contact me again about it. They never did and I never saw it on a credit report but what a pain in the posterior.

Verizon can KMA!
