Who I have the same questioned this topic

Verizon is insane! I get a 'private message' about a scamming   post. Because people are using my number to scam people. And Verizon will NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Let me repeat that Verizon lets people  use their equipment to scam people but refuse to do ANYTHING ABOUT IT.  Then they private message but...there is NO WAY TO RESPOND TO THEM.   This is seems like a stunt to not listen to me about the SCAMMERS that VERZON will not do anything about.
