I once got a call from ‘Verizon’ that they have a new service which would reduce my long distance charge.
The guy stated that its a mandatory change, only that since this new law just passed verizon did not have time to mail out notices..
At first I said OK, so they then transferred me to a verizon rep which told me that this company had nothing to do with Verizon and is a private company.
I told him that I am not interested, they then transferred me back to this ‘company’ I told him that this sounds like a scam. He called his supervisor, she repeated this entire nonsense. about this mandatory stuff.
I told her that if this is the case, than why call me, if its mandatory then do it without my consent, if not than have a great day. she started talking about fines and fees if I dont consent, I just told her to have a great day.
