A call from "Verizon Wireless" using the number 800-922-6983 called about "free money" and I hung up before it could finish. If I recall I call Verizon and they never call me, I only get in touch with Verizon if I call for service issues, and this is a scam jah?

This is a scam. VZW is not going to ever call you and offer you a credit on your bill. Ever. Any website that is not www.verizonwireless.com or www.vzw.com is not a VZW website. Don't ever go to any of these websites. When you put in your UN and PW it will be stolen and your account will be hacked.

Sounds like a phish phishing around to me. I wouldn't recommend jumping into it then, sounds like what I feared it was. After all, what's the likelihood of Verizon offering a free thirty some odd dollars back to customers through a website that isn't Verizon Wireless?
