Fraudulent text message claims to be from Verizon - a scam.

Be advised of a fraudulent Verizon message offering a $20.00 off your monthly bill. This seems to be a scam (not confirmed). When I called they requested information that could be a used to access my account. I didn't provide any information. The phone number provided in the Verizon message was 855-238-1597 which I later found to be a scam.

Fraudulent. If Verizon was involved it would automatically do it.

... don't assume. As a rule Verizon will not automatically change a customer's account. There have been some offers that allowed customers to reply to text message thereby approving changes. There are some current valid offers from Verizon that may match this offering. When in doubt call *611 from your cell phone. Be aware that any call TO Verizon they will ask for your name and SS# or password to verify your identity.

We are talking about credits, and not plan changes. If it is a credit they do not need approval from the customer.
