fake Verizon wireless collector requesting credit card information
tired of the calls wife thinks im cheating...
Its Verizon wireless and tell then to kick rocks and get the track phone. The track phones spnosered by Verizon. So get a track phone and stop paying Verizon so dam much money.
This number called my home land line and left a voice mail stating that they were Verizon Wireless and there has been a change in the status of the account of (They said my first and last name). They went on to say that I need to call them back in the next 24 hours and input cell number (they spouted off one of my kids phone numbers - which of course is in my name). They said call 800-249-2462 and input my cell number that they gave to me to find out about this status change. I didn't do it of course......I did however call Verizon Residential and Verizon Wireless and let them hear the voicemail for themselves. They confirmed that this is a phishing scheme. So watch out for this one!!!!
The caller was identified as a Scammer/Fraudster that has been reported 1 times in the past.

I am on the phone with Verizon Wireless right now as I type this. The support rep confirmed that both numbers ARE Verizon Wireless numbers (their Financial Services department is based out of Washington). She looked it up and called it for me - just to make sure.
So this is not a phish or scam. The two numbers 2063153010 and 8002492462 are legitimate.
Please note, however, that someone can produce a fake Caller ID number and then ask you to call a different number - making them look legitimate on the caller ID and then redirecting you to a malicious phone number. For this reason it is important to pay attention to the number they redirect you to.
As the representative pointed out, if you're ever unsure just call *611 from your phone and ask them about the message.
I hope this helps someone else.
Calls 3-4 times a day. No one on the line. Can VERIZON just block this number from calling any Verizon customers? Seems there are so many complaints!
I don't know the type of call - - guessing.
