I called Verizon to make them aware of the scam - not sure what the scammers
are trying to get.

How could your account be suspended if they were able to call you? Hum,,,,,,,

I am still waiting on my $10 million gift from Bill Gates.
Guess I need to send them the info they want.

Hold on, my new best buddy is a Nigerian Prince. He seems honest. I should be getting a pile of cash any day now.. :)

Not yet, until you pay the small tax.

Send me a private IM so I can give you the account where to pay the tax.

I’m cynical and doubtful but some of the scams are good.

I get invoices from Apple for stuff bought on my Apple store account that I didn’t order with links to click.

I checked my credit card attached to the account, no charges.

I log into my Apple account, no charges.

Very realistic invoice.
