Verizon verification scam

I received 10 phone calls from (800) 922-0298  in one hour's time! I was busy, so ignored it until they left a message saying "We are calling you from the verification department of Verizon Wireless. Your account is suspended by verification. Press one to activate your account. Press two to speak with a customer service representative." After I checked to make sure my phone was working OK, I blocked that number. They even tried to call after I had blocked the number!

wldriscoll3, thanks for reaching out. Verizon Wireless would not call in this form. You can always make sure to manage your wireless account with My Verizon. KevinR_VZW
