Verizon won't forgive debt on donated cellphone
Following up on our story from last week about a senior citizen who donated his cellphone to charity, forgot to cancel the service, and subsequently got stuck with a $1,200 bill after somebody else got the phone and racked up tons of charges, Verizon Wireless says that they’re not going to let things slide and that Harold Dunn will have to pay up.

You have to remember that the two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
What Mr. Dunn did wasn't all that bright but what Verizon is doing is corporate stupidity at its most egregious. I predict that there will be widespread outrage and that Verizon will reverse this decision.
