Scam Another Robo-call claiming to be VZW

Be careful people Phone calls have been going out from a scammer claiming that if you log onto www.my45verizon.com you can get a 45.00 credit on your bill, THIS IS A SCAM A ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR VZW INFORMATION.................... BEWARE ... numbers showing in Caller ID 800-922-0204 be wary of anyone asking for your VZW information online and in emails VZW will never ask you for information like this as they ALREADY HAVE IT...... So if VZW wanted to give you a credit, gift, discount or anything like that they would more then likely do so in the REAL VZW CUSTOMER PORTAL........

"We" are not going to stop it, and as long as people fall for it, scammers will continue to try it.  All "we" can do is not respond, not get scammed ourselves, and warn others. 
It's not just Verizon that's targeted, either.  Go to http://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/  and search for any of the cell carriers - or just about any company.  Scammers keep at it because it works often enough to make it worth their while to continue.

    DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

  • ROBO call blocker is blocking my wake up calls

    I've had wake up calls for 3 years using my FIOS landline voice mail. I also  Implemented robocall blocker about a year ago.
    Within the past week, the blocker is now stopping the wake up calls.
    Verizon, how do I get around this?  I've added the voicemail number that calls with the wake up call to my accepted list,
    still no resolution.

    that's part of the problem.  I don't recall now how I set it up.  However, It's illogical that I would have to turn it off
    just to get wake up calls.  Why now is the blocker recognizing the wake up call as coming from a robodialer, 
    it never blocked it for the past year.
    With FiOS digital voice, there is no native "ROBO call blocker" so you must be using something else.  If you're using something like nomorobo then it uses the simulatenous ring feature which can be disabled if nomorobo (or some other service like it) is blocking the call.  You check your simulataneous ring setup.

  • Robo-call from NI

    I just got a robo-call from NI because I registered for the upcoming NI Day conference. 
    That was a mistake.  I would have thought NI's marketing department was smarter than that.
    I will now make sure to give a fake phone number in all my NI profiles.
    I don't mind getting relevant phone calls from NI.  But put a person on the phone.  Not a machine!

    That happens to me all the time when I'm trying to help people prepare for the CLAD.  I am a CLA.  I don't think I need to sign up for the CLAD.
    I actually put in a complaint to some people while I was at the CLA Summit back in March.  I was basically told that NI has several databases and they don't talk to each other.  So if you do anything on their site, your data gets put into a database and automatic emails are sent regardless.  NI really needs to do some research in getting these databases talking to each other.  That would reduce a large percentage of the emails I get from NI.

  • FaceTime Failed - Your Computer is Busy in another Facetime Call

    Hi Everyone!
    Here's the deal!  My mom's iMac on Lion 10.7.1 cannot initiate nor receive Facetime calls.
    When I call (iPad2, iPhone4):
    FaceTime Failed:
    <xxxxxxx> is not available for FaceTime
    When she tries to call me:
    FaceTime can't initiate the call.  Your computer is busy in another facetime call.
    She gets this message, even after rebooting her computer.
    I made sure that her credentials are logged in under the Users/Groups tab.  MobileMe has the credentials as well.  Firewall is Off.  So I am at wit's end right now as to what to do next.
    Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!  I need this FaceTime to work since I travel a lot, and don't always have access to my MBP and iChat Video (which works).
    Cheers!

    Just LOG OUT the user and then log back in.... That worked for me!

  • Verizon 30 Scam --- Another Version of an old SCAM

    Hi everyone! 
    Here's another SCAM alert!
    I received 2 calls today (800-922-4444 and 800-922-3333) within 2 hours of each other.  Both giving a web address to claim a $30 Verizon credit.
    The website is www.verizon30.com
    Be aware - this is a scam... Don't give go to the site and definitely don't give any information.
    If anything ever sounds too good to be true - call Verizon directly before giving information.

    Thanks for posting this. I found your post when I googled the url 30reward.com that was in a voicemail from 18009220204. Hope Verizon catches this, is there a fraud department for customers to report robocalling scams?

  • Passing the values from one pgm to another pgm (Calling pgm has no sel scr)

    Hi gurus,
    In my requirement i need to pass the values from one program to another program.
    I am using SUBMIT statement . But , the program which i am calling has no selection screen.
    So how can i pass the values?
    Please help me ASAP.
    Regards,
    Bhanu.R

    Export your internal tables or work areas to a memory id in ur program before u use submit.
    Then in second pgm you have to import from memory id given above.
    example.
    EXPORT gs_header FROM gs_header to memory id 'HEADER'.
    EXPORT gt_item FROM gt_item to memory id 'ITEM'.
    SUBMIT YFIIN_DISHC_MAILREPORT EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
    In your second pgm you can write
    import gs_header TO gs_header from MEMORY id 'HEADER'.
    import gt_item TO gt_item from MEMORY id 'ITEM'.

  • Is verizon making money off of robo calls??

    I have been getting a ton of robocalls. I asked Verizon what they are doing about it and they said nothing. I can only block 5 numbers unless I purchase a special package from them allowing me to block more. What a joke! At some point, verizon has figured out how to make money off of robocalls. I just got a call from phone number 000-000-0000!  How can they even allow that to even go through? Oh, that's right. Almost $9 billion in PROFITS last year, and a CEO who made $7.3 million last year. What do they care? If you ever think lack of competition is a good thing, think again.  (PS, I have been waiting for 40 minutes to talk with someone and ask how they can allow a number with all zeros to go through. Oh, that's right, $9 billion in profits.)

    VZW does not have an idea where the 000-000-0000 is from, so how can they block it.
    Do you have your number on the Do Not Call List?
    Have you opted out of the three or four Settings in your Verizon account Privacy Settings?

  • Not sure if being scammed. Many calls from urgent...

    Since I've been on skype (a couple of months) I've been alerted about a call coming in, sometimes in the middle of the night, about "SystemTM - Urgent Online Alert" or variations on that. " "System notice - Urgent online repair" four times. " System notice - Urgent online maintenance".  There has been a barrage of them.  I don't answer them, I decline.  I didn't realize you can block them.  I do now but wonder if I should be reporting them as abuse?  I'm new to Skype and not sure if this is supposed to be happening.  Also I get a lot of calls from people I don't know or at least people asking if they can call me.  I have no idea who they are so now I block them but again should I report them?  Do people just sit out there and fish for someone to contact?  There seems to be a lot of that happening and it's annoying at best.  Are these alerts/calls legitimate?  What should I do?

    if you think applicable in your case, you can also set your privacy settings to allow call and IMs from people who are in your contact list only.

  • Are you tired of all the robo calls to your phone?  If enough Verizon Wireless users start bugging Verizon to add "simultaneous ring" as a calling feature, we will be able to use "Nomorobo" to block unwanted robo calls.  Start calling and bugging Verizon

    Google Nomorobo and read up on this free service that stops robo callers.

    I have read about Nomorobo.  I have a Verizon "land line" which actually works with a router and operates like a cell phone.  YES I WANT NOMOROBO

  • Another phone call price increase :(

    Telecoms giant BT is to raise call charges for residential customers by up to 5% on 3 December - the second increase this year.
    UK landline calls will go up from 7.6p a minute to 7.95p a minute. Line rental prices will also rise, but calls to mobiles will be unchanged.
    The changes come after a 10% rise in call charges a year ago, and a 9% increase in April.
    But BT said these prices would now be frozen until 2013.
    Under the changes, the cost of line rental for a customer paying by direct debit will rise by 70p to £14.60 a month.
    Evening UK calls will go up from 1p a minute to 1.05p a minute. The call set up fee, which is a one-off charge for a call outside of a customer's plan, goes up from 12.5p to 13.1p.
    BT's most popular Anytime calls plan will increase by 20p to £4.90 a month, but various other packages and bundles, some of which include broadband internet, will not be changed.

    Crikey BT, times are hard ya know!!
    -+-No longer a forum member-+-

    Also, Line Rental is being increased from £13.90 to £14.60
    I hope that the 70p a month price increase will be put to good use by BT- and NOT to pay top bosses bonuses

  • Skype Call Put on Hold when another Phone Call com...

    Why does my active Skype call automatically get put on hold when a standard phone call comes through on my iphone 6?   I would prefer to manually switch between calls and I hold many conference calls through SKYPE.
    I am using the current version of Skype and iOS 8.

    Hi,
    Please check if you enable conferencing in topology builder, you can check on the Standard edition topology below “Feature and functionality”.
    Please also try to re-run the Lync Server Components install from the Deployment Wizard and check services again.
    If the issue persists, you can use the Lync server logging tool on FE server to test the process of conferencing.
    Here is the link of using the Lync logging tool:
