Why is my account being flagged as fraud

Verizon's 3rd party fraud verification is flagging me as not being me. I called and submitted everything they asked for car registration, front and back of my CA ID, live photo. The link to verify all my documents went directly to my email. It has been the most frustrating situation I have had to deal with with any company. I called the and they told me that I was now wasting my time in calling as it seems to me they are basing this off of emotion and not actual, factual documentation to the account. I verified my social, home address, my name and even submitted my paystub. This has been the most ridiculous process in my life. All I did was move out of verizon a few months ago to realize that I wanted to come back as I loved their service and this is how new customers are treated. Do we need to verify with the CEO, the local police, the fraud department did not want to provide any other information. I refuse to think they themselves are preventing Verizon from gaining customers. I know this is not just happening to me but many others and Verizon at the top can't figure this out?

I  had a similar issue today. Long story short (as possible)โ€ฆ The application process in a store was stopped, saying my credit file was frozen. After unfreezing it, same results. Later,  I attempted to place an order online. Same results. This time I was given an application number and number to call. When I called, I successfully jumped through all the hoops, was approved, and transferred to sales to complete my transaction. I completed all the verification requirements and completed the transaction with the sales rep, including initial payment of taxes on the devices and setting up AutoPay.  I was emailed a receipt. I called back when I saw my previously verified FR discount was not applied. This time, I was told my credit was not verified. After an hour plus on the phone, I was transferred to the Fraud Department, who eventually said they could not verify me and was cancelling my order. First verified, now not verified? I complied with every request made of me, doing some steps twice! They refused to provide a reason as to why. This is insane! I have a credit score of 830+. Is there anything you can do to help resolve this?

they are the problem. when we call we get no answers about anything.  youre telling us to call but they cant even tell us why we are being looked at for fraud or what to do next. maybe verizon needs to get a new fraud team and reevaluate there plan they got in place

Interesting. How did you do that? 

I called Verizon twice and spoke with at least 10 different people and did not get mine resolved. The last person told me to look for another carrier.

How did you do this? Because it has been the most frustrating experience for me. They wonโ€™t provide me any information

This has been happening so much recently. I honestly think they're trying to phase out prepaid phones and get everyone on a contract. Nothing else makes sense. This happened to me and 2 of my friends and a coworker of mine in a 2 month period, all through Verizon prepaid. Snakes for sure.
