OK - I am VERY suspicious of some guy with a crappy looking webpage that says he has the answer to this phone varification issue.
However, as of right now - he has like 10 listings in the LA CL under small Biz services
Here is his HORRIBLE page:
http://www.povertysuckx.com/ (I hope it's obvious that I am not affiliated)
My point is that 1) I don't believe it but 2) if we could find a moderator or other trusted person then I would throw $5 in the pot to see what he has - it would only take 20 of us to pool a few bucks each and try
I have not checked other cities for his listings so that the 10 ads or so he has in LA may be his only 10 accounts and he is probably a total scammer although he does give a phone number on his page
I would throw in 5 bucks just to see
