Ironic isn't it? Verizon does nothing to stop these calls at the source when they probably easily could by using a complaint system like this very website. [Let's face it... although the spoofed numbers are many, the originating sources are probably few.] They certainly should be able to trace the real source number and shut them down, but they don't. Why? Do they want you to buy their blocking tool and make more money? But by not blocking this one, people are tricked into picking up "VERIZON" on the ID, and the company gets a bad rap - deserved or not. Well, in my mind, it is deserved this time - They should have blocked this one in the first place, and then institute a concerted program to stop this insanity. Maybe work alongside the FCC... now there's a concept!
BTW, probably 60-70% of my home calls now are spam. Just another reason to disconnect my landline. Sorry, Verizon.
