Verizon Willing To Let 62-Year-Old Man Die Unless Cops Pay $20 Of His Overdue Bill

[unozero]

Ohio police are pissed with Verizon after the company refused to help them find a missing 62-year-old man unless they paid his overdue $20 $20 of his overdue cellphone bill.

The cops got a call that the man was rampaging around his house and breaking windows. When they arrived, the man had fled, taking bottles of pills with him. The sheriff contacted Verizon to ask them to turn the man's cellphone cellphone service on so they could track his signal, but the operator said the missing man's bill had to be paid first. After some back and forth, the sheriff started to make arrangements to pay his bill. Just as he was doing so, the search party, which consisted of two K-9 units, several fire departments, and more than 100 people on foot, found the man, unconcious, after 11 hours of searching.

"I was more concerned for the person's life," Sherrif Williams said. "It would have been nice if Verizon would have turned on his phone for five or 10 minutes, just long enough to try and find the guy. But they would only turn it on if we agreed to pay $20 of the unpaid bill. Ridiculous."

Atleast a pound or two of feces.

You guys are reading it wrong.

That's like, 20 dollars times twenty dollars. That's OBVIOUSLY more than an old mans life.

So? Just pay the ****ing money.
Cheap ****s. :|

 

[Jintor]

You realise the amount of PAPERWORK that goes into that?

Meanwhile the old fogie might died of hypothermia or something while Verizon was playing accountant.

 

[Lucid]

His fault for failing to pay his bill.
BETTER LUCK IN HIS NEXT LIFE.

Why do the police think he was missing in the first place?
Nobody wants to give up $20.

It's not so much the phone service that sucks but their internet.

Keep in mind that $20 in Verizon numbers is actually only $0.20.

$20 for the worst publicity possible - Verizon doesn't give a ****ing shit if their customers die if they owe $20 or more. Straight Mafia.
