Please note that using the near-universally reviled Verizon method as

Now explain to me why I shouldn't do a CBV on this?

And if you do, what do you expect to happen? If Verizon calls back in
response to your callback (i.e. they're doing CBV for email to
antispam579542(_at_)west(_dot_)verizon(_dot_)net) then they are asking for a 
disastrous
callback loop. However this will only occur if your system has the same
bug.
