What good does it do for these creeps to get you to call a number whereby you're being charged to call it. Other than it's costing you? Are they getting money out of this somehow? I wish I had looked first. I got a call from a 9089124170 never asked me to call but I was tired of texting info to them. So I called. Fortunately my Verizon has unlimited long distance so I'm hoping it's covered and I hope they can't somehow use my calling them to allow them to use my coverage to allow them to call somewhere long distance and charge my phone. I did a reverse look up on this number and it shows it's coming from New Jersey.

I received an e-mail in response to an ad on Craigslist and the sender provided this number.  I called, left a message and then had a $10.00 charge on my phone bill.  Any ideas on where this can be reported to put a stop to it?

Received an email in response to a Craigslist listing stating that a "Bill" at 908-554-2787 was interested in purchasing the item.  Called the number and left a voicemail, following month, there was a $10.00 charge on my phone bill for calling this number.  Don't know what company it is but it's a scam.   Following is text of email:

HI, I am very interested in your ad on Craigslist, PLEASE
give me a call when you have a minute, 908 554 2787
Bill, unfortunatly I will be away from my email the rest of the day

Verizon’s Hidden Rip-off!  Beware Pay-Per-Call Phone Scams

Here is how it works. Scammers on Craigslist are ordering tough-to-identify pay-per-call phone numbers, and then list them on ads, baiting people to call and pay exorbitant fees. Common local exchange codes for pay lines are 976, 940, 915, 556, 554, and 550. “Ordinary looking phone numbers, like (908-554-2787) that are pay-per-call, often for $10 a call. The latest scam is to contact people with Craigslist ads, asking them to call back at one of these numbers. The caller is charged $10 to leave a message on an answering machine.
Verizon was aware of this activity since at least August and has done nothing to stop this. Innocent looking local 908 exchange #’s are being used to rip off the unsuspecting public. I just got my Bill and I was charged for pay-per calls I was unaware of making. They REFUSE to reverse the charges. Verizon told me and I quote "you should have checked the number out before you dialed it". I would like to know what happened to the customer attitude that the “customer is always right”! THERE SHOULD BE A RECORDING THAT IT IS A PAY-PER-CALL AND SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION TO ACCEPT IT OR NOT. Otherwise do not let these companies exist. I hold Verizon 100% responsible for this activity. In New York State pay per calls are outlawed using regular looking phone exchanges for this exact reason.
Verizon you are no longer the only game in town and I have 3 phone lines worth of business to take elsewhere! I would suggest you change your attitude real fast!

If Verizon gives you trouble adjusting for this ripofff number, immediately contact the NJ Board of Public Utilities (for NJ residents).  I spent 3 days arguing with Verizon and then filed a complaint with the board -- my bill was corrected/adjusted by Verizon the next day!!!
