AFNI Another fake Verizon account Ripoff Bloomington Illinois
This morning I 'googled' Afni to find there phone number to inquiry about an account that they say I am past due on. That's how I found 'Ripoff Report'. I found I am one of many that feel they are being ripped off by Afni. I, many of you, received a phone call from Afni stating they I owed $219 for a Verizon (land line) account that was activated back in 1996. It was at an address I never lived at. I have NEVER had Verizon land line. I was at a lost & angry. I have worked really hard to obtain good credit & my first thought is that this company is going to ruin my credit over a couple hundred dollars. I have time on my hands so I decided to fight them. If anyone has any advice?

I just got off the phone with Verizon fraud department only to find out how all this has come about. It appears as Verizon acquired the old GTE in Washington state via a merger with companies and I am sure other locations throughout the U.S. They sold the previous company's database of old customers to Afni! You can contact Verizon and ask for the fraud department to verify this or call . I was told they sold this information last year, 2006 to Afni, Inc. and you'll note the complaints started in the fall of 2006 about this company.
