Got a text message that claimed to be from Verizon. Seems to be a scam.

VZW does this to help you avoid high overages that might put a bad taste in your mouth about Verizon Wireless.  The texts/phone calls are based on the last 3 months of usage, so you may not currently be over your texting, data, or voice minutes.  They will offer to put you on the next plan up for service and backdate the plan, which will often bring your overages way down.  You can always switch back the next billing cycle if it was a one-time overage. If you are unsure of the validity of any text/call from VZW, dial *611 from your handset to contact Verizon Wireless customer service.  This is airtime free.  The number on the original post is authorized by Verizon Wireless.

Scam artists - No data usage on verizon.

The caller ID for my previous message was 900070002637

I just received this same message about 15 minutes ago.  I received a similar message yesterday and talked with Verizon.  It is not Verizon and the Customer Service Rep told me that my bill was not trending to incur substantial usage charges.  This is some scam cell phone company.

called verizon as i have unlimited text and data and they said they my plan is still unlimited and for me to disregard the message and that the 888 number is not a verizon number.

Got same message purporting to be from Verizon Wireless stating data charges would be incurred. Called Verizon Wireless and they checked my account and say no data overage. This appears to be a SCAM.

Call states it's from Verizon...and we're gonna incur large data usage charges!

Whose number is this? 888-320-0591
