It took me about an hour this morning to track down Integrated Voice Services. Here is what I know.
1. Andrew Kornes Title: President, the company started in 2004.
2. Their address is in The Port Authority at
3. I called the Business License office in Tampa and found out that Integrated Voice Services does not have a business license.
4. I called the Florida State Corporation and found out that the company lost is incorporated status in 2007 for not filing returns.
I talked with a local TV station about this issue and they do seem interested. I also emailed my local paper about doing a story.
After more than 8 calls to Verizon I finally got a call back from the Verizon fraud Dept. I spoke with
She could not explain the process and indicated that it was proprietary Verizon information. She agreed that this issue of Scamming/Cramming people's phone bills was a big issue and Verizon has a database of complaints. I asked if she thought if Verizon found out that Integrated Voice Services was scamming customers that Verizon should refund ALL CUSTOMERS that have been billed by this company.
SHE SAID YES!! I agree.
There are I'm quite sure thousands and thousands of Verizon customers that are currently being scammed right now and they have no idea. I told her that I was sure the Verizon billing dept could find out how many customers are being billed by Integrated Voice Services very easily. I suggested that Verizon stop billing for this company until they complete their investigation. I didn't get a positive response on that one. It seems profits come before customers. I'm sure Verizon is making quite a hefty profit by taking a piece of the action from scamming their customers.
