Well, im pretty sure this is Verizon because I called them today to see about switching from Time Warner. I had a question so I called the rep and left a message and my cell. Great, I am quite sure I'll be inundated with calls now. Why can't legit companies understand that this crap (not returning my call-that's great, but it won't stop there, I am sure...) pisses legit customers off? Don't call me, I'll call you...

5/27 12:15 PDT Tried to call my cell phone, which is not connected with Verizon.  I did have a problem with all of my Verizon services several days ago due to squirrels gnawing on the cables.  What really annoys me is that they don't show any ID and I don't answer any call if it is not identified, whether land line or cell phone.

1:27am someone from this number,1800837-4966,called. Asked if I was calling about my phone. What is this? I was awaken from a sound sleep. Someone from Verizon is playing games.

This number is from Verizon (the company). If you recently had to contact Verizon for tech support or any other reason, they call you back to make sure the problem has been resolved. It's more of a customer satisfaction inquiry.
AND...if you spell out 800-837-4966 on your keypad, you get 800-VERIZON. Who'd a thought......

I received this call 800-837-466 several times, was Verizon to confirmed the
dsl installation was completed.

Call comes in right after I finishes talking to any 1800#.
Strange it seems like they know I just hang up with someone, and hope I pick up.

This number has already called me 3x this morning on my cell and they wait for the message to start (though don't leave a message) so I have to put in my password to be able to delete it...very annoying & it wastes my minutes!!  They call my cell on a regular basis...if it was legit they would leave a message.  I am on the do-not-call list.

I got calls from this number indicating that they were verifying my fios installation appointment, which was legit, but received three of these calls a day for three days leading to the installation, which I felt was unnecessary... oddly my husband received calls from this number over five times a day, even though I never gave Verizon his phone number and those calls left no message with him of any sort... could someone be utilizing the Verizon outgoing phone number without Verizon being behind it?  And is there really a need for so many calls?

Well that makes sense. I was sleeping when the call came in. I do not favor calls without any identification and not leaving a message but I did order new service installation for dsl in 4 days so after reading some of the explanations I now believe it is Verizon confirming the installation date.

Yeah, I made the mistake of giving them my cell number this morning and now the calls started.

i have digital svc & i can only block 10 #s. not even enuff. bought a call blocker for $50 that can block 1500 #s. am about ready to block this one any minute.

I keep getting calls from thing number and they text me saying that i got a ticket. It is a scam.

Called my cell only rang three times. No voice mail message //:-((

Got a call from this number today stating they were from Verizon.   They asked me if I know someone from a company and they were calling on his behalf because I was on his phone bill and it was long-distance.   I said I know the owner of the company and that "how could it be long distance if we're in the same area code?"      She asked me for my name and thanked me.   I immediately called my friend (and owner) of the company she mentioned.    He had no idea they called me, nor why they called me.   Odd.   Be careful with what information you share over the phone with someone you do not know.  

I just spent hours on phone with Verizon because of problems with internet and phone service. Because CID said "unknown" I did not answer. They need to identify if they want me to answer.

You can block calls too

I received several calls from this number, beginning at 11:24 PM. When I hung up, the caller they would call right back. No one spoke. when the call went into voice mail, the caller would hang up and try again.  I had to unplug my phone to get the calls to stop. I don't believe this is coming from Verizon.

I get a voicemail telline me that Verizon is updating copper telephone wire to fiber optics in my area.  They say they need me to arrange an appointment with them Mon - Fri, 8am to 7pm for a free upgrade to the fiber optics.  They left a number 1 855 661 8714 to make the appointment with them.   Is this a scam?   I read somewhere else on the web that this update is really NOT needed and NOT really free.  I also plan to put a note on their website to ask for clarification.

Sounds like a scam to me. They have called me 3 times this morning, Thanksgiving Day!!!

I received a letter from Verizon (their letterhead and all) asking me to call 1-800-837-4966 in response to "recent correspondence."  I had no idea what they were talking about so I called them today.  It turns out the only "option" was to press "1" to get some "great" offer.  Why in the world would a responsible company allow such crap?  Or did I just answer my own question.

Verizon has a function allowing customers to block selected numbers, up to 5 number for free, last time I looked.  The blockage expires after a while, but you'll peace in the meantime.

It is Verizon. In my case they were calling because I had reported a problem (their server failed in the CO) but that was resolved over a month ago. Seems that their trouble reporting system has a few flaws, kije the responsible person fails to close the trouble so they bother the customers to verify the problem is fixed.

I had to call Verizon yesterday to ask some questions about DSL. They were resolved. Calls are now coming from this number but no one is ever there. WTF?

I have a FiOS installation happening in 2 days, and this was a call to confirm the order.  It was a legit call.

I've got a FiOS installation happening in 2 days, and this was Verizon calling to confirm the order.  It was a legit call.

Called my mobile late in the evening.  No ID. No message.  Cannot possibly be Verizon, I have never done business with Verizon.  However, they have not behaved in a way consistent with a legitimate business concern.

DON'T CALL MY NUMBER.  I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR SURVEY.

They don't read these...

I get several calls daily from 800-837-4966 Caller never leaves any messages and when the phone is picked up they never answer.

I received a phone call from 800-837-4966. I looked online and found it has sometimes been associated with Verizon. I had some work done with Verizon yesterday but there was no reason for them to call me. I believe it is someone else using that number to phish.
