Scam Alert - How to report to Verizon?

Enthusiast - Level 1

Two of my lines on my Verizon Wireless contract have gotten calls from (800)000-0000.

The first one to the first line voicemail stated to login to vzw250.com to claim my $250 rebate from Verizon Wireless (was a robocall at that).

Second one about 2 days later to another line, stating login to vzw315.com to claim my $315 rebate from Verizon Wireless (robocall and voicemail).

Checked the domain tonight:

vzw315.com is registered to:

Now, in digging into the browser source of the webpage being served at this vzw315.com domain, it all appears authentic, other than lack of SSL.  Looking further, the login form is posting to the following server: hxxp://zulu956.startdedicated.com - which is at an IP in Germany.  The startdedicated.com domain is registered to a company in St. Louis, MO, but is contact information to the same company holding the IP in Germany.

I need to know how to report all this directly to Verizon.  Additionally, I need to know how this group managed to connect my phone number with being a Verizon account (not to mention the other line on my contract).  That is more than coincidence that two of my three lines have been approached by the same scammer.  And it is a well performed scam so far.  I want to see this group prosecuted.  As well organized as this is so far, there could be thousands of VZW customers who are caught in this scam.  Further information (such as traceroutes and other forensics available upon request from a VZW representative.
