310-666-6666

I have recently been a victim of a scheme where my phone number 561-800-0000 was targeted for take-over and illegally ported out from Verizon on 9-21-11 using identity theft by individuals in the vanity number business.

The plotters first contacted me in hopes of buying my number, when I declined the offer they began to incessantly call my number 200 times a day.

I don’t know how they do it, but according to Mr. Fernandez the caller ID that shows up is not the true number that is calling (I've been told the practice is called "spoofing"). The result is two-fold: the plotters hope the incessant calls to Target Phone #1 leads the subscriber to cancel service; second, the plotters hope that enough people call back the number that shows up on caller ID so that Target Phone #2 cancels service, too!

I was able to trace back a few of the numbers to Greg Fernandez’s company, The Telco.
"310-666-6666" and "850-777-7777".

I have since learned that Mr. Fernandez and his company “Mega Financial, Inc.” were named as co-defendants in a lawsuit filed by T-Mobile for “Illegal business practices or “conversion and transfer (or “porting” of customers unique “vanity” telephone numbers.

I have since launched a website to expose these individuals and their crimes: http://www.vanitynumberscam.com

This matter is being investigated by the FBI. If you have ben any information in this matter or have also been a victim please email me at victim@vanitynumberscam.com
