Why have I received a text from Verizon telling me that my account is locked?

It gives me a link that takes me to a site50 location. This sounds fishy but I cannot contact a verizon representative online or by phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I finally got through to Verizon and they confirmed it as a spam. We reset my account and I am good again except that the scammers got confirmation of my cell phone number which might lead to spamming in the future. It looked like a valid text msg but upon reflection, the link was not to a secure site. It was to an http: site rather than the expected https: type of site. Also another lesson learned is to remember the separate password for billing account interactions. It is different from the My Verizon Account password. It is needed to access help from Verizon and would have saved me a lot of time. Instead, I had to listen to many telephone menus before I got to a real person. Thanks for your help Ann154.

I received an email from verizon telling me that my account is locked and to click on a link to verizon/security to unlock it. Is this a legitimate email from verizon?

I received an email from Verizon telling me that my account is locked and to click on a link Verizon/security to unlock it. Is this a legitimate email from Verizon. How can I find out what this means? My phone is working.

I have never heard of that before, if Verizon Wireless would do anything with your account they would be calling you (removed). In my opinion you should disregard the email.

Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out?

Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out? I bought a Creative Cloud sub for a whole year about a month ago - with auto renewal too. I went back and checked my account with Adobe. That all seems to be in order. Why have I got an email telling me I have till 10 June 2012 before the sub runs out?

I too have received this email and one telling me my trial software expires in 2 days. I checked and yes, again I'm showing trial software though AAM shows the creative cloud copy downloaded and installed. I was unable to reach anyone within 20 minutes of hold at Adobe customer support phone but was able to speak to someone named Karal on chat. Karal told me that Adobe would look into the matter and get back to me. When I asked for a case number I was told one would be sent to me after the chat. I'm still waiting.
There are numerous problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud as everyone knows. What we need to keep in mind when dealing with Adobe Creative Cloud is that we are all BETA testers for this new type of service. Adobe was and is unprepared to service the Creative Cloud at this time but I can't believe they are not working to resolve the problems. Will some customers get "screwed" over during this BETA testing period? Of course. You have to expect that you will and take it with a grain of salt. Let's face it there really isn't another option to Ps/Dw/Lr/Acrobate is there? No, so let's calm down and try to help each other. The poor souls on the other end of Customer Support are just as lost and confused as we are..it's not their fault and they have no power or resources to fix the overall problems.
I can tell you what I’ve done for the company I work for since I recommended the cloud and obviously it was not a good choice for us at this time,
On 6/9 we will cancel the subscriptions to the cloud unless I find that the individual software will not recieve maintenance updates as is now the current rumor.
We will upgrade our individual software packages with the upgrade option and request CD backups.
We have contracted with DropBox for a 500mg box. I really like this service so far.
I’m hoping this puts me back in good status with the boss and the graphics department as everyone will get what the need to work without the limitations of the cloud and without me spending hours each day trying to figure out support issues.
Remember if you can live through the next 6 to 10 months the Creative Cloud will probably be a great thing. If not, bail now and come back when it's ready for "prime time". As we use to say in my RANGER days. "Suck it up soldier; this is what we train for!"

I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party vendor that would show up on by bill

I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill. What the heck?????

Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

Can't receive picture texts from Verizon customers??

My sister, mother in law and a bunch of friends have Verizon. Whenever they send me picture texts I never receive the pictures. My husband also has the same iPhone and he doesn't receive them either. We have no problem getting pics from other AT&T users, Sprint, etc.
Does anyone know anything about this? I said it had something to do with the stupid 3G feud between AT&T and Verizon, but my husband said that was dumb. It's really annoying though! Thanks for any info.

Its not a feud - Verizon use CDMA and most of the rest of thr world uses 3G GSM, or in a different terminlogy, one is Betamax and one is VHS. they both work, but not with each other.
At the call level they will interwork but I suspect at the MMS level, they don't but I don't live in a CDMA area so don't suffer from that.

I keep getting email from Apple telling me that my account has been suspended. It looks genuine but I am having my doubts.

Hi. I keep getting emails supposedly from apple telling me my account has been suspended. I am probably worrying about nothing. Has anyone else been getting these.

If in doubt send them to Apple at [email protected]

Received an email from iCloud telling me my storage is full ,when i go to storage

Received an email from icloud telling me that my storage is full, when i go to storage on my iphone it tells me i have 4.4 GB available, what next???

Does it say disabled for security reasons or just disabled? If it just says disabled, go to the iTunes billing team's support site and email off the error, include your billing address for the account and the last 4 digits of your credit card and they will fix it up within 24-48 hours.

Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

I received a text from another iPhone user who does not have an iPad, why did I receive the text on my iPad rather than my iPhone?

I have both the iPhone and New iPad and I was under the impression when sending a text it went from iPhone to iPhone or iPad to iPad. Also, if I send a text from my iPad to someone who only has the iPhone, it comes in on their iPhone. However, I received a text from an individual who only has an iPhone and it came to my iPad and never showed up on my phone...Which means had I not been at home I would not have known I had a text on my iPad???? How does it determine which device it will appear on?

You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?)

I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance?

I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance and that my data may be restricted for the remainder of my bill cycle? I've been with Verizon 15+ years and don't think its necessary to be screwed out of my unlimited plan... I heard something last year regarding Verizon limiting the unlimited plan if someone reached a certain point of usage... I'd like to have some clarity on this issue...

call *611 or go to a verizon corporate store and fix it. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

I received 2 texts from notice.verizon-wireless and service.verizon-wireless, saying my account had been "BLOCKED!" for my security. Is this a scam or for real? What should I do?

Try to log in to your account from your computer. If it's locked, call customer service (800-922-0204). If you can log in and all looks normal, forward the texts to SPAM (7726).

I have not recieved a responce from Verizon

<<Moderator Note: The original post is https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1201842#1201842 and has been marked as a question to being it to the attention of the representatives. This post is now locked. >>
I made a post 5 days ago and I have yet to hear anything from Verizon.
If someone has a corporate number or email that would really help me.
I am having problems with being lied to about "loyalty minutes". The rep never mentioned ANYTHING to me about a year contract.
Thanks.

Hello boscruiser25,
i apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused you. i see that you were enrolled in paperless billing this is why you were not receiving paper bills. I have unenrolled you and you should receive a paper bill within the next billing cycle. If you have any further questions or concerns, please respond directly to this e-mail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.
