Phising attempt call from 800-922-0204

Just got a call from 800-922-0204 telling me I could get $24 off my next bill by visiting www.verizon24.com and logging in.  Visiting the site with incognito mode it's using Verizon's logo, etc, and all the links point to the usual verizonwireless.com pages, however it's obviously fake since if you enter random numbers for the login it'll tell you that you've "won" and then asks for the necessary personal information to gain access to your real account.

We received calls yesterday and today on each of our Verizon mobile phones.  Although it sounded too good to be true, I signed in to check it out.  That's when it started to really smell as they asked questions for personal data that Verizon already has on file.  I guess I need to change my Verizon password to ensure no unauthorized access.  Their web page really looked real.  I wonder how many people will fall for this scheme....?

  • Scam refund offer from 800-922-0204

    I just got a robocall from 800-922-0204 - it was a pre-recorded message offering me a $28 refund by logging into http://28verizon.com/
    This is clearly a scam, and I wanted to raise this to Verizon's attention, as well as any other people how are getting called by the scammers right now. It's a pretty good scam in that the site looks pretty authentic except the $28 refund button.

    I just got the same phone call. Had the robovoice recording and everything. Nasty.
    Tried to call Verizon to report it and couldn't hear the tech on the other end due to digital crackles.
    Happened about 10 minutes ago for me. Same phone as above.
    Irritating.
    Hope they get busted.

  • Verizon Wireless called me on my cell from 800-922-0204 offering a $51 Credit?

    I have to log into Verizon51.com.  Is this true or legit?  The website looks like verizonwireless.com?

    Just found another thread elsewhere in the Communit on this same topic: I received a call on my phone and it said to go to www.verizon51.com  thenlog on and receive 51 dollars off my bill is that true

  • I cannot reach a live representative when calling the 800-922-0204 number

    My account is marked past due, I made an online payment as I always do (have not been disconnected in YEARS!!!) I keep getting recorded calls saying that I must pay my bill or service will be disconnected, yet when I try to call to find out what the problem is, I cannot reach a live rep....only automated payment options.  How do I reach a person today????

    I posted something in the main Verizon Services about this earlier today. I got the call and immediately called VZW CS because it isn't how VZW usually sends offers to current customers...so I wasn't going to risk going to the website and causing issues with my computer.

  • I'm trying to change my number online and an error message keeps popping up saying "We could not change your number online. Please try again or contact Customer Service for assistance at 800-922-0204."

    can anyone help me? I've been trying ti change it since last night.

        Help is right here, front and center caibadass. May I ask what's the reason for the mobile number change? Are you logged into My Verizon as the account owner to make such a change? If you can share the details then we can assist. Keep in mind that if the number is changed online then there is not a cost.
    Thank you...

  • Constant phone calls from non-working or not in service numbers

    What is Verizon doing themselves or with the federal agencies to stop these numbers from calling in upwards of 4 times an hour? There is no room on my block list left. Verizon, FCC and all other carriers should be blocking these calls so their customers do not have tp deal with them. So what are you dping Verizon?

    You could change your number at the My Verizon web portal or call *611 or 1-800-922-0204 and customer service can change it for you. However there is a fee if they assist in the number change. Free from the web.
    Please remember the number you change to could be worse than the number you have now. Its a risk.
    Good Luck

  • Getting calls from a weird phone # on iphone 4

    So I've been getting calls almost every day since September 22nd from this weird number but I can't do anything about it, that I know of. The number comes up like this on my phone 255758481469. I cannot block this number through Verizon since it's not a 10 digit number and it just keeps calling me. I'd be able to ignore it but it calls me between 11PM and 7AM, and there's actually a person on the other side! Problem is he says hello a few times, says someones name and then hangs up. I try to say that he has the wrong number but he either doesn't understand me or can't hear me. If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated, this is getting very annoying.
    PS a google search of the number didn't return anything for me either

    Call Customer Service and have them Block the Number) they can for about 30 days i think if the No that you have is number that you don't mind changing have the Number changed)  You can also go to My Verizon if you have a Account set up and do a Number change there)  Customer Service's No. is as Follow 1-800-922-0204 Option 3  b33

    In case I give my user the "SAP_ALL" role, this all works fine, so i think it is somewhere related to a missing role to be assigned.
    any clues..??
    any help would be appreciated, Please help..
    Thanks,

    Hi Juergen,
    I am using it as a WSDL based data connection.
    How do i check this WSDL through a web browser? I have checked it through SICF Transaction code, It gives the output in explorer as given in the first post of this thread..
    Please help me resolving this issue, i feel that this issue is somewhere related to the role assignment of the user as if i provide this user an authorization of SAP_ALL then everything starts working fine, but after removing SAP_ALL this error is encountered, do u hav any pin points on this??
    Thanks
    Amita

  • I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone.

    I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone. Only silence until the call is answered. Has anybody else had this problem? Has it got to do with the ios8 upgrade? (Actually 8.02)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.
