Verizon Wireless (previously GTE) Person Fraud, Verizon is demanding payment for cell phone & charges I did not incur. Personal info stolen used to EASILY open account with Verizon.
My personal information was fraudulantly used to open a cell phone account with Verizon Wireless. I have received no response from the company regarding my complaints and continue to receive bills demanding over $1,800 that I am not going to pay.
The person who opened the account did it by phone and apparently didn't even need to verify who they were with a driver's license. I just received a letter from a Collection agency this week and I am steamed. I want everyone to know they should check out their credit file to make sure they haven't been easily ripped off through VERIZON WIRELESS!

Dear consumer,
I would advise you to file a police report with your local police department. If you have not done so already. There is a statue of limitations that you must file a report and request that Verizon send you the bills and photo copy of the contract they claim yu signed. If they refuse hire a lawyer and take them to small claims court and file a complaint with the FCC and your states regulatory body. Remember that you disclosed your info to the sales rep..Unfortunately, alot of ties identidy theft is an inside job.
Sincerly ,
