Default Verizon Customers come in

I've been receiving calls from tele marketers on both of my Verizon phones all day and no one but my job has my new phone number and 20 min ago I was at work and my phone rang and it was this carpet cleaning service then my other phone rang 10min later and then the manager who also has Verizon started ringing and it was the same number. I spoke to all my friends that have Verizon and their getting the same calls. Just checking if it's happening to anyone else. If so I'm going to rip Verizon a new one..

Yeah I know I found a forum where everyone that has Verizon is complaining. I have my phone on the do not call list so from what I've heard they owe me $500 bucks for not following the rules.

I got a call froma women claiming she was from verizon but didn't sound professional at all asking if i would like to pay my bill. Being that she sounded pretty ghetto I asked what my balance was and she hung up on me. I called back and she says that nobody called me from her number. I called verizon and spoke to a manager and he apologized and said he would let his investigation dept. know about it.
