Just received my phone bill charged for long distance calls from Silv Communications. I received a call about 6 weeks ago with a person posing as a Verizon rep.

If someone calls you from you local phone company offering you a discount, hang up and call them back at the published company number.

Silv has clearly frauded me. They use a 3rd party telemarketer. They refused to tell me the name of it. Silv clearly knows they use fraudulent tactics. This is nothing new. But they keep getting away with it because it is rare for people to stand up and say enough!

A company in Michigan did win a court case against them. We really need a class action suit against these companies and especially the telemarketing companies actively commiting fraud.

Here is the info I have found on the company so far:
President: MD Aminur Rahman
Contact person at company: Samantha Cesa 800-770-3057
Phone numbers I have found:
213-840-9940
213-381-7999
213-632-3030
One third party telemarketing company they use or used is Dax Marketing Inc.

Of course if this does happen to you, file a complaint with the FCC 888-225-5322

I WORKED FOR SILV WHEN I WAS 18 AND DIDNT REALIZE WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON!!

AUTHOR: Lisa - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, June 24, 2007

When i was about 18 i had lost my job and was hired by a company who i thought was legit but i was wrong. After my first day on the job i went home and discussed it with my boyfriend and he said it didnt sound right. the next day at work i finally caught on and this is how it goes. you call out of state numbers and get a owner on the phone convince the person you work for verizon or bell south or what ever phone companys are in the state you were calling tell them you are a independent company that verizon or or bell south has bought to handle discounts on all the bussiness lines. you then get them on a recorder and ask them 3 questions for their verification that they are willing to allow silv communications to handle all of thier long distance billing i cant exacly remember the 3 qusetions but i do know that you ask them how many bussiness lines they have and for each line they switch over you( the employee of silv) get paid 3 dollars so at the very second they answer the last question you turn off the recorder bec none of it is legit. then if they ask for a customer service number you give them any number you want why? because silv has no customer service number its not a real company and it is located at 400 pine avenue in long beach california on the 3rd floor and the office they rent out in this very nice building has a sign on the outside saying it is an accounting and tax firm there is one lady who has a tiny little desk and she is a book keeper but in the other room there are people like me who didnt know any better and they are all calling people and riping them off. even though i only made 18 dollars working there because i didnt feel right ripping people off i still feel bad to this day because i spoke with alot of very nice people who were ripped off and had no idea. to anyone who was ripped off i am truly sorry and please dont agree to anything over the phone on behalf of your trust and money.
