Bogus Verizon call

These must work on some folks.

Thanks for the information. We had a similar call months ago.

I was getting deluged with a 'save money on your AT&T bill' calls for weeks. That's stopped.

We have a policy if we do not recognise the number we don't answer it. At home we let them go to the answering machine. Probably 90% of the calls hang up as soon as it hears a answering machine answer.

I heard on the news recently the Feds were going to the Hackers Convention that is held every year in Las Vegas to hire hackers to try to figure out how to stop all of the Robo calls.

How do you know it is a BOGUS link?
Did you click and go to it?
Did you give them any info?

If you have money coming Verizon will apply it
They are not going to waste time and money informing you, that you have to go to some website and fill out input to get it

Big corporations don't work that way, it's too costly

I recommend looking at the whois info for that site. The DNS is not signed, the phone number is a 555-555-5555, and it is registered from offshore. It was created on June 28, and with bogus registration info for the registrant's name.

Definitely not Verizon.

I get spammed for various phone companies all the time, and looking up the whois info for a domain will reveal lots about how genuine it is.

Notify Verizon security so they can put a flyer in with the next real bill.

I get calls all the time offering me a lower interest rate on my credit cards.

I really do have a credit card, It is a store card, I have no idea what the interest rate is (likely 20 to 30 percent) But the balance I know well.. $0.00, that's right ZERO, I'm not sure they will even honor the card any more as I've not been in that store in over five years.

But they keep offering me lower rates on my non-existent cards.

More then likely the first question they would ask if you called would be what is the account number.

One time I got ticked off enough not to hang up, but to ask to speak to the person offering to lower my interest rates. The first thing they asked was what credit cards I had. The answer to that one was "Which ones do you say I have?" They hung up.
