000-000-0086

This is a call that I got from business dealing with people in Indonesia, and I got scammed for a decent chunk of change.  They looked so legit it was ridiculous! Over 95% of the business over there is not legit.  They are all scam artists!

Me and my friends recently all have been getting 'Restricted Calls' that when we answer, there is always no reply on the other end. One time my friend was receiving a call from a "Restricted Number" and they left a message, that was repeated 'clicking' noises for well over 30 seconds. He checked with his phone company and the number was 000-0086. Does anyone know anything?

if you have Verizion phones, thier call center is over sea,s ,these calls are coming form the same city the call center is from so if you get these text, Im,s or calls to run up your bill GUESS WHO IS GETTING PAID, vERIZION, CALL THE CORPERATE OFFICE AND DEMAND YOU GET A CREDIT , REPORT IT TO THE FCC ITS EASY

0086 is another Verizon scam to force customers to pay for usage they don't, or never wanted.

The more usage billed on your cell phone the higher amount Verizon makes in profit! Are the share holders expect higher profits per month? You bet they are, at the customers expense.

Verizon is going to get slammed with lawsuit from hell if they don't hurry up and make a deal with their customers, whom they been ripping off since day one.

Life is a b***h when your a caught scammer

This is what Verizon said today about the 000-000-0086 calls on my bill:

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Verizon rep'
Verizon rep: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service.  How may I help you today?
DB: What are the 000-000-0086 numbers that keep appearing on my bills?
Verizon rep: That number indicates voice mail calls.
DB: messages you mean?
Verizon rep: That is when you call your phone to check voice mail messages.
DB: ok. what if it's a spammer phone caller? I've been getting a spam voice message for months now about once a week, have reported it to the do not call registry but am still getting them. It's an 800 number and they always leave a voice mail
Verizon rep: You would have to talk with the caller of that number I have that problem also. Cause right now there is no way to block the call.
DB: bummer. you need to check the web. people are really getting upset over this on their verizon service. type that 000-000-0086 number in to google and you will see how frustrated people are getting with Verizon over this. Maybe other companies, too but only verizon is getting blamed for this number. bad press for you guys.
Verizon rep: The actual 000-000-0086 is when you dial your voice mail, which is still charged.
DB: i understand that, but when my phone tells me i have a message waiting, and it's from the spammer, i always delete the voice mail so i don't have much choice except to go in and delete it or leave it on there forever disrupting the rest of my stored messages and all. we need a way to block callers.
Verizon rep: We are working on a solution. There is just not a certain time that it will be applied.
DB: ok, but check the web. people are threatening lawsuits, etc against verizon. hope it's implemented from your end sooner than later - i can't afford all that extra air time that spammers are using!
Verizon rep: I understand. We are trying hard to make things better.
Verizon rep: Is there any thing else I can do for you?
DB: tell your managers and supervisors to watch the web complaints on this before it gets out of hand. thanks for the info
Verizon rep: Any time.
Verizon rep: Thank you for visiting Verizon Wireless, I look forward to speaking with you again.  Have a great day!
DB: Thanks.  You too.

its voice mail when you  dial *86

Email response I got from Verizon:

The calls you are seeing with 000-000-0086 are for checking your voice
mail messages from this handset. Since April 1, 2004, accessing your
voice mail by dialing your ten-digit wireless number from your wireless
phone will count toward your standard airtime usage and not a free or IN
Network call. Please note: A call to your voice mail box is not an IN
call, as you are not actually calling another Verizon Wireless
customer.

You may still access your voice mail messages airtime free by calling
from a landline phone. To access your voice mail from a landline phone,
please dial your ten-digit wireless number, press "#" to interrupt the
greeting, enter your password, and then follow the voice prompts.

Next, for the 777-000-0001 calls, when using data products and services
such as Get It Now, Mobile Web, Picture and Video Messaging, and
National Access, the phone numbers (777) 000-0001, (000) 000-0000, or (000)
000-0001 will appear in the "Usage detail" section of your statement.
This number signifies airtime that was used by data applications.
