# MCI and Telephone Slamming

I recently switched all of my phone services back to Verizon. Today, I got a phone call from my former provider, MCI.
I have never experienced

before, but "Tiffany Johnson" from MCI exposed me to the seedy side of the telephone market. I know why MCI is slamming departing customers: they need to get their customer count up before the acquisition by Verizon is completed.
I have frozen my telephone provider. And MCI goes on my blacklist.
