Verizon Update
1/31/02
If this is your first
newsletter, you may want to peruse through previous updates here to gain
further detailed information:
A. Teletruth
Despite facing a number of class action suits, multi-million dollar fines, perfunctory warnings from various agencies, etc, Verizon has continued to engage in poor operating practices that are hurting consumers. Although consumers have won a few battles, VZ has been able to control the war...until now. Enter: Teletruth is the long awaited answer to the growing problem of Verizon's monopoly and also to that of the other bell's exclusive control over telecommunications in their regions. This new organization represents an alliance between companies, business owners and all individuals who have wanted to do something about the growing issue. Teletruth will be to the bells, what AOL is to Microsoft...the ultimate thorn in the side. The following link may explain it best: http://www.teletruth.org/TakeAction/whyjoinTeleTruth.html
B. Thomas Alibone For those of you operate businesses with
phone bills that total over $1,000 per month, this is your lucky
day. If you are an individual who's bills are under $1,000, it will
be your lucky day as well in the not too distant future.
Some findings are showing that an
unprecedented number of phone bills have long-standing errors on
them. Possibly as high as 50%! Thomas
Alibone is a man who makes his living off of saving people money on their
bills. It is as simple as sending him a copy of your phone bill, and
he will do a free analysis to determine how much you have been losing over
the years. His only fee is a portion of the refund, i.e. money that
you would never have seen in the first place! Currently he is
working with operations who's bills are greater than $1,000 per month,
however in the future, it is likely that all bills regardless of magnitude
will be considered. For a limited time however, all residents of New
Jersey may send in their bill no matter the size. If you are a NJ
resident, follow this link:
If you are a business with bills over $1,000
anywhere, follow this link:
C. Recovering Losses
If you are in a dispute with Verizon and
believe that they owe you money, you may be rather amazed at how effective
threatening litigation is. After doing so, I personally received a
nice check to cover the verifiable losses that I
had. Unbeknownst to most, if you send a letter stating
your intent to sue, you may be able to receive triple damages in the event
that they do not respond within 30 days. Contact your attorney
general's office to discover more.
D. Verizoneatspoop
On a lighter and more comical note, the
website verizoneatspoop.com (yes, this is a real site!) has been put on
notice that they will be sued if they follow through on their endeavor to
print a mocking shirt bearing the Verizon logo. VZ was successful in
scaring away the first printer, however verizoneatspoop is looking for
another vendor who may be interested in printing the shirts for
them. If anyone knows of a vendor that would like the business and
will stand up for theirs rights, please refer them to
verizoneatspoop.com. To read about the situation in full, click
