Verizon Wireless took a strong action against the telemarketers who masterminded an unsolicited and illegal telemarketing campaign to Verizon Wireless customers over its network.
In the lawsuit filed against the unidentified spammers, Verizon explained during March 2007, more than one million calls with the Caller ID 712-429-0367 or numbers with similar exchanges were made to Verizon Wireless customers, prompting them to press 1. The telemarketers advertised low interest rate mortgage to the customers.
Verizon claims such type of illegal business breaches privacy of its customers. The company assured its customers to take every possible step to protect them from the unlawful telemarketing calls.
The lawsuit alleges violations of the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act as well as state fraud and privacy laws. Verizon Wireless is seeking a permanent ban and financial damages for the unwanted calls.
