Suspicious text asking me to update my verizon online account

Foxfire140

Has anyone else received a text message 'Please update your verizon online account' with a link to http://verizon.tvphone.com/MyVerizon/ ???

This URL looks suspicious and when I did a lookup for their domain, tvphone.com, it belongs to a software engineer in Connecticut!!! not Verizon.

I chatted with a Verizon representative and they are not aware of these messages.

I got this too! Its a scam. It's not a secure site. I put in a bunch of fake credit card and as info and it accepted it saying my Verizon was updated and then linked me to the real website. DO NOT GIVE IT YOUR INFORMATION. It's not a Verizon website. You would not have to update all your personal information for a My Verizon update. Hope this helps.

Forward the text to SPAM (7726) and then follow the instructions in the reply text that you receive.

Thanks for the info. However, they have sent me two text messages but with from two different phone numbers. The Verizon Spam number you gave asked me to enter their number and they stated that they would block it. I don't see how this will work if they keep using different numbers.

It is my understanding that when you forward a suspicious text to SPAM (7726) you are forwarding it to the FTC in Washington DC. You can go to the FTC.gov web site to read more about it there.

Thank you. I got this text message this morning at 6:30 am. from phone number 855-534-5284 and same message and link you received. I've spent all day trying to find out who it was. If you type in the link address instead of clicking on it, it goes nowhere. Now I know what it is for sure and will report it.

Same here, and all the phones on my account from 314 266 3507 on March 8th.

I checked the link recently and the website was removed by officials for phishing. The things these thieves will do.

Thanks Tereseb! Good to know that someone is on it!
