I just got an odd call from 800-922-0204 offering a $35 rebate for Verizon Wireless. To me it sounds like a phishing scam as it directed my to give my log-in information to http://www.myreward35.com/
Any information on this?
It is a scam. Do not reply to it. The phone number is verizon wireless but the site is bogus many posts here on the same scam.
Good Luck
I agree

That's really odd because the call came through Verizon's Technical Support line. I have the number in my phone's contacts and it came through as them. How can that happen if it's a scam?
The number is being spoofed.
I received this message this morning. What bothers me, is wasting any amount of money to retrieve a scam voice mail impersonating the company that I'm choosing to give money too. I had to listen to that VM twice to understand it and it wasted $.50 -75 cents. I added a $15 Refill Card around 2am to my phone via the text option and had purchased the card at Rite Aid earlier that evening. It only took 8 hours from the time I loaded the card, until I got the VM, Like it was purposely trying to be my first call of the day. AND this was the first Refill Card I have ever used. I feel like I got scammed and I didn't even fall for the scam. I would never make a big deal at any other place getting shorted on change, but Verizon Wireless should refund people the prepaid minutes they wasted listening to this if they can't stop the scam.
And I don't think I will get a prepaid card ever again. Something is creepy about those. If you walk into a Verizon Store to pay for minutes, they pretend they can't accept anything less than $60 for your prepaid plan. So they tell you to purchase a Refill Card at a grocery store and use it online. Weird how I couldn't buy a card at their own store, though? So after the employee was done pretending they can't accept actual cash lower than $60 for the prepaid plan at their own store, she realized the money I was holding in my hand for 10 minutes...trying to give to THEM, wasn't going back in my pocket. So she made the "fake attempt" to see if the system would take cash under $60 for my plan. She tells me it can. I didn't want to give her my full $20 by that point, so I handed her something around $12...$3 short of their $15 Refill Requirement and the system accepted it. I'd rather go to a Verizon Store and pay whatever I need to..so I don't have to risk online scams, but you can't even do that.
I almost would have believed the call for 1 second, if the voice mail was IN a robot voice or it had waited for my VM to beep, so I could actually hear the first part of the scam. All I got was "something 35..blah blah" and a very creepy man voice that creeped up my morning. :-(
It has nothing to do with how you fill a prepaid card, or if you are a post paid customer. It is a scammer using a robo dialer in a number attack. The software has no idea how you pay. Its a scam pure and simple. Its looking for suckers to give out their login name and password to have them drain and use the accounts of those suckers who fell for it. Same scams in email and text messages.
