Having issues with my phone company...anyone ever heard of a company called BPH?

I have been with verizon for a long time now, about 6 months ago I had a long distance company call me and convince me that they were an affiliate with verizon and my long distance was being transfered to them by authorization of verizon to save me money on my phone bill. Well after the call I thought it sounded a little fishy so I called verizon and they said absolutely not, I put a block on my phone so my long distance can not be changed. Now, all day today my phone has not been working right, I have not been able to call out or recieve calls. I called verizon and they said my regular phone service had been changed to a compnay and the only name they had for it was BPH, I cannot find any info on this company and I know I did not authorize these changes. Has anyone else had these problems lately with their phone lines? Has anyone ever heard of this company? Any ideas of what is going on would help please! Thanks!
