Beware, I believe this number is a Scam!!! I was called several times from this number with robo call claiming that they are Verizon Wireless and they must speak to a Mr. Jose Velazquez about a service change, they then give you an opportunity to speak with a representative if you are not the person in question. After waiting on hold for a couple of minutes I was connected with Melissa who asked me for my name and account information. I informed her I was contacted by a robo call and wish to have my name removed from the call list, I refused to give her any more information than my Last Name and Telephone Number when she pressed for more information I asked how the phone company (whose primary function is phone information) might have my number associated with an incorrect name. She explained that sometimes when numbers change the company takes awhile to update the information in their database. I responded that I have had my current number for over 16 years and that I believed this to be a scam call. Flustered, she promised that I would be removed from the call list; regardless I have blocked the number. (Also, at a certain point I asked where their call center was located and she said Iowa when the call area code is from Boston.) Just be careful and good luck!

Called trying to steal our credit card information. Said our payment had been rejected and our numbers would be suspended if we did not pay the bill. Said he had been trying to reach the account holder with no answer. I text my husband while I was on the phone with him -- (he said his number was already suspended and that I wouldn't be able to text him). He also said both of our lines would be suspended if we don't pay and I told him there were several lines on our account. I should have asked him to verify how many. I also asked him how I was supposed to get a hold of my husband to pay the bill if our lines were suspended. He said he could help me put $10 credit to open the lines back up and gave me a bogus confirmation number. When I asked him where he was from again he hung up. Sounds like "Jesse" was a new to the whole scamming business.
