fraud department?

i have an invalid order on my account. fraud department a month ago indicated the order was cancelled. this week i went to the store to order new phones. the order still shows as pending even though cancelled. pending does not allow me to order or upgrade until the pending is removed.  i spent 2 hours at the store with the salesman waiting for the fraud department to pick up. frustrated i left and am currently calling from home. it has been a half hour and only the voice response indicating how important the call is and it plays every minute indicating a person will answer in just a few brief moments.  35 minutes and counting.

if the salesman could not get through in 2 hours i do not know why i think i will have any better success.  this is terrible customer service or verizon has such bad security that they are being overwhelmed.

verizon if you are engaged what do i need to do to get the order pending issue resolved. customer service only directs me to the fraud department

You know what I love Richardbarb is the automated responses from Verizon. The empathy 101 classes they give their employees are horrible!!  I am in the same boat you are.  My identity was stolen and an account opened in my name back in OCTOBER.  Its been almost five months and I can't seem to get any response/update from the fraud department. and guess what? the collection notice came in the mail today, for an account that's not even mine!!! get a clue fraud department, a quick phone call updating to your stressed out customers would do wonders!

NA2803,

So sorry to see that you have been a victim of fraud! That is not a position any of us want to be in. It looks like you have been in touch with our fraud team regarding this matter. Have you let them know about the collection notice? They can be reached at 888-483-7200. I apologize on behalf of Verizon Wireless for any delay in getting this matter resolved for you.
