I just got a call from them, claiming Verizon. I am on with the Verizon chat, and they are verifying it is a scam

Calls when you Verizon phone is past due, by 1 minute.
| Weasels 2013-12-03 15:57:47 Unknown |
Verizon doesn't put their name on this number?!?!?! Shows up as UNAVAILABLE on my Caller ID. Thanks, Verizon, that's what I'm paying you for...I have to sit around and wait for my answering machine to pick up, just to get your recorded message...

I keep receiving calls from the above number. 800-28-9243. I do NOT wish to receive calls from this number. Please STOP THEM!!
| Annoyed 2013-06-04 14:24:14 Unknown |
I do not answer unidentified calls unless I can first verify who is calling and that it is a call I wish to take. This number called 3 consecutive times in 10-15 minutes, letting it ring 10+ times each call. Needs to be stopped - obviously a scam, from what others have reported.
| Marie 2013-04-23 20:01:19 Unknown |
Caller ID says UNAVAILABLE; no voicemail left. If it's really Verizon, why wouldn't the Caller ID say so?

I'm sick and tired of all these effin butt holes who call morning noon and nigh, let them eat s*** and die.. let the taliban get them. i'm on a do not call list and still the b*****ds get through. If I knew how to invade their privacy i'd do the same. eat poop and die u mother effers. There no better than the freakin popparazzi, phone stalker's.

That's not true. They tried to call me and my bill is paid in full and on time. Why would they tell people to send payments to a PO box that does NOT belong to Verizon? They are scammers. I hope they save money for retaining attorneys, because when they get caught, they'll need good ones.

Verizon's mail box is 15124 in Albany, NY. I live near Albany, and I just reported this scam to Verizon Security. I pointed out that not only were their customers being robbed, but so were they. That seemed to interest them a bit. I also used your point about just watching the mail box to see who would pick up the mail was the smart and easy thing to do. If they get busted, it will likely be on our local news.

Here's a major problem with the DNC registry: Only honest people comply with it. If you get a call from a number you don't know, best to not answer it. Just let it ring. I have been able to stop some of them by picking up the phone and not saying anything. I wait for them to hang up. You must have NO background noise when you do this. Or pick it up and say "law office." They hang up pretty quickly when they hear that. Two can play this game. If you talk to them, they know they have a "live" number and they sell it to other scammers. NEVER speak to them.

Please make them stop calling!

Press * and # several times in no special order-it supposedly confuses the computer and makes it think your # is a fax...not sure if it works,but worth a try
| Shanna 2012-11-13 14:15:55 Unknown |
Just got a call from this numer 800-328-9243 and they left a message about some one needs to call back who is responsible for this bill.
| DG 2012-10-05 13:27:47 Unknown |
Reply from my account Manager, but maybe he did not listen to the end- where they thank me for being a valued VZ Customer...
Yes this sounds much like a scammer or another company. I have been on the phone with our collection company and they are very upfront on why they are calling and for what accounts. I am not sure that there is much I can do unless it persists because I am pretty positive it is not us. On top of that our financial department does not call anyone?. If the bill doesn?t get paid we have a collection agency that handles it and they are very clear who they are.
Let me know if it happens again cause as far as I am seeing you are paid up on bills.
| DG 2012-10-04 18:39:25 Unknown |
My business does pay late, but has many accounts, first time we received such a call today, and into my HR department and on a NON-VZ phone carrier line...
I will forward the info to my Account Manager with VZ and report anything back here they may add.
I gave my name, but never gave my company or any account/phone numbers, as I have a common name, I'm not too concerned...but now they have my number, if they have caller ID...
The message left on the HR voicemail stated That this is VZ calling concerning recent change to service on my account number (but did not give an account number). VZ regrets this action was necessary and that until I have my local service restored I will hear a message when I attempt to make a phone call, and need to follow the instructions to make payment or I can go online to verizon.com/payonline. Your prompt attention to this matter will help to insure that VZ continues to provide for all my telecommunication needs. You are a valued customer, and we Thank You for choosing VZ.
I had caller ID to call back this number which was not in the recording

That is fraud and you don't know who is speaking to you at the other end of the phone, they won't give their last names, or they don't know how to speak the english language. They can't process payments because they don't have a credit card processor, and when you give them your account numbers if you do, they tell you your credit card is declined. They ask for your social security number next, that is identity theft. They'll also ask you to type in your bank account numbers and decline your checks also.
Justice will find these idiots.
US DOJ's can you please do something about this!!!
Verizon's *86 is sometimes has static on it and you can hear foreign languages being spoken through the static. Hang up and report the phone numbers that have been calling you, including the 800 numbers.
You'll most likely get hooked up to the phone's manufacturer, or a computer hacker.

Yeah, it's definitely legit. Just got a call from this number - was a recorded message from Verizon regarding a mistake on their bill, which indicated I was enrolled in Verizon's Direct Payment option (which I am NOT), and instructed me not to send in a check because my bank account would be debited. I've already called them regarding this weeks ago, but the recorded message was just repeating what I was already told. Maybe the number was not legit back in '07, but it appears to be as of now.

Dumb A***s ... this REALLY is Verizon! Internet and or Phone...
I don't work there, My bill was two weeks late ...
Answer your phones people!
| D 2012-03-22 19:52:07 Debt Collector |
This is not a scam, I emailed Verizon and this is in fact the Verizon financial dept #. Will call if you are over 2 days past due on bill.
| phone guy 2011-11-15 06:15:37 Debt Collector |
called number, Verizon's female computer voice answered, placed me on hold for an overdue bill, I hung up.
| Liz 2011-10-21 14:30:25 Unknown |
They've called two mornings in a row but no message. Thanks for the warning!
| Terry 2011-09-08 22:13:10 Unknown |
This is most definitely a SPAMMER. I just changed my # early this morning around 6am. At 11:05am, I received a call from this number. I called back, and it was an automated system asking for my telephone number. HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS!!! They called again at 5:26pm, I could not answer but saw the voicemail half an hour later. No message was left, just dead air. I called Verizon Wireless at 800-922-0204, and asked if there were any alerts on my account, as my account was paid in full and paid early 2 weeks ago. There were NONE. The rep also verified that this number WAS NOT A VERIZON WIRELESS PHONE NUMBER, and to block this number from calling me. A report has been made via Verizon Wireless, and I will also be reporting it to the FCC.
Funny how prior to changing my number I had never received a call from this number, this supposed "Verizon" asking me to pay my bill.

Verizon automated system indicating a payment is due to them. Uses a few different numbers but essentially the system calls from 8am till 9pm (legal collection hours here in New York) until you pay what you owe and their computer system takes you off their naughty list. Problem is they'll call even if you owe them nothing!
| anonymous 2011-06-06 20:57:36 Unknown |
Verizon.
| Danette 2011-06-06 20:57:36 Unknown |
Called -- shows "unknown name" from 800-328-9243. Did not leave a message.
| divk 2011-06-06 20:57:36 Unknown |
On the no call list but they still call me, no message left. Scammers !!
| anon 2011-06-06 20:57:36 Unknown |
Verizon automated system. Calls repeatedly with no one on the line. Serves no purpose other than to harass their own paying customers.
