This doesn't smell right. The internet connection the O/P is talking
about is from Road Runner. Why would Verizon be involved? Further, in
the unusual circumstance that Verizon does offer VoIP to Road Runner
customers, wouldn't this appear as a separate billable item on the
Verizon bill?

I don't see why hijacking couldn't take place - but the VoIP billing
should come from the VoIP provider, which I would expect to be the
ISP used in this case.
