Email from fiosadmin@verizon.com for every phone call that comes in on caller ID?

Anyone else have this issue? If so please vote for an idea to fix it. I am forwarding all to the spam address because they have been told more than once to stop sending it. So that is considered spamming. Verizon spamming their customers because they will not fix their system. I bet if it was me, my Email would be stopped. We shall see what response this gets. I have called about it twice and refuse to call a third time.

Update:

It looks like turning it back on the Verizon spam address, and perhaps the various comments regarding this issue has fixed it.

Verizon requires its agents to send what is called a "Post contact email" after every call. They are supposed to ask the customer if it is ok to send them the email with "helpful troubleshooting links" and then send them the email. They are required to have a 70% acceptance rate. If they do not send emails to 70% of their customers they get dinged. And if they get dinged too many times they can loose their jobs (s*upid isnt it?). So many of the agents are no longer asking. They simply see an email listed on the acct and simply send it, with or without permission, in order to keep their jobs. You can ask them to stop and you may get an agent to remove the email from the contact portion, but the next time you call and an agent see's the email missing, many will go in, find it, and add it back.

In this economy and the difficulty in finding a job, let alone a well paying job like Verizon, many agents will resort to just about anything to keep it. And so long as Verizon requires them to meet certain levels of acceptance, many will just send it out, requested or not, permission or not.

Sorry I modified the subject to include the caller ID part. Makes it clearer without having to click on the link to the idea to fix it.

I think you missed the part about this being Email for Caller ID that is not entered in VCA or anywhere else by me. They fixed the "Glitch" once and I called back and the guy was what????? Duh! Wanted to get intio my PC to check my email settings. You know how far that went.

Mark,

Did you initially sign up for these emails or something? I used VCA on my PC from whenever it first became available until the Caller ID on TV did, never got an email. And for the last 1 1/2 years with Caller ID on the TV (I quit using VCA on the PC completely) I have never gotten an email. So I am wondering what the difference is?

If I was getting the emails I would go into the webmail interface and create a filter to just delete emails from that address and not worry about it ever again Smiley Very Happy

I did not sign up for these Emails and was told by one tech it was a glitch in the system. They fixed it once and it stopped. But the moment my CID on the TV stopped working because of router issues, the Emails started again. I would rather be a pain in the arse and report them back as spam. Since I asked for them not to be sent.

Then set up this filter:

If From matches fiosadmin@verizon.com then automatically send notification to spamdetector.notcaught@verizon.net

It will forward the message to the spam address and you'll never have to see it. Best of both worlds. 🙂

That is what I had done. Outlook gives you the option to forward as an attachment also. So I am doing both.

it sounds like the email notification for calls is turned on in your VCA account...

regardless if you asked for the emails or not... have you logged into VCA and checked the settings.... perhaps it is a simple matter of turning that option off?

he's talking about a legimate glitch in the verizon matrix.  Happened to me too.  Fiosadmin@verizon is not a user configurable feature, it's a glitch at verizon and I haven't found anyone that can tell me why or how it's generated but they assured me that it's nothing that I did or triggered.   they were nice enough to turn it off for me, and it hasn't come back since, I am not sure why prisaz's is still coming if they turned his off too.

Yes read the OP. It is not VCA. It is VZ ERR
