Complaint Review: Jim Petro Verizon

Does our Government ripp us off for taxes with nothing in return?

Dave opened a wireless account in the 90's. He used his SS# as ID. His account was stolen in an unusual way. A person who was on the account for service only changed all information to his company's.

After Dave spent over 4 1/2 hours on the phone he managed to have them turned back on. He went through this several times for a week.

The cell company offered free phones to Dave. They also agreed to shut off all the numbers and account that was stolen. This they never did.

Dave than contacted his Senators as well as the FCC, FTC, PUCO, US Attorney General and the Ohio Attorney General. All the agencies referred Dave to the Ohio AG.

The Ohio AG received a letter from the wireless company explaining how they had given Dave free phones. Dave said that his identity was not for sale. He wanted the account and numbers turned off.

The AG refused to be involved because there was a business involved. That business being Verizon who gave away his account or the one that received his account, who knows?

Dave has now decided to run for Governor. He feels that American Citizens have very little representation. He plans to work for the people, Not Big Business.

Dave feels the Government is for big business. The people and small businesses of America are being pushed to the wayside. It is time someone says no more.

With Identity Theft so rampant in America, why does the Government run and hide when a big business is involved? Why do they not support the law?
