That is also illegal. You can not call family members who are not on the acct.  So they are criminals.

Verizon

I got this call saying that they want to talk to me about Verizon account for what ? Don't I pay them enough

Thanks for the info I just locked the number out and added it to new contacts with the name SCAM

Got a call every day this week. Not one single message left! Be legit and tell me who you are and leave a message. Most people these days do not answer unknown callers.

This number is as follows:

City: JERSEY CITY
State / Province: NJ
Provider: CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ

You are being called by a collection agency who has been sold Account Information of people who have past due balances.  The reason why you think it is a scam is because, you are right, you do not owe them BUT an immediate relative YOU know does.

How do I know this.  I have past due balance with Verizon from 7 years ago.  The collection agency goes out on the internet to search your name and in that search turns up website that list people associated with you such as you mom dad etc.  

Now that I said that I bet you unfortunately know that friggin deadbeat in your family who is to blame.  Do what my Mom did and give that loved one a big F U for the harrasing phone calls and to pay their friggin bills.

um i SERIOUSLY doubt this is Verizon.... since i have NEVER had a Verizon account, and this number keeps calling my tmobile cell phone at the same time daily...... I was just trying to find out who the number belonged to myself, because it's called several times and i don't answer for calls i don't know.

I would highly doubt this is actually verizon calling. They have called my house twice a day for 3 days. I have never had any type of service through verizon, so it's impossible that I would have any type of bill through them, current or past due.

It is from Verizon Wireless, and it is legit. They are calling about an overdue cell phone balance. But I would still go online to pay, or do so via check.

Assuming it is Verizon, or Verizon related, according to another website.  
I just received a call on my cell, but didn't answer, no message was left.  
Googled the phone number, which brought me here.  
Logged into my account, and sure enough, I am past due!!!!!  
Oopsie.  Paid it.

Called on Monday Aprill 22, 2013 10:28AM - No message

this is not a verizon wireless or a verizon fios. They are pretending like a collection agency to collect past due balance from whatever verizon devision. DO NOT GIVE THEM A CREDIT CARD NUMBER. They might call you a lot of times like real a real collection agency.

Better yet, call the REAL Verizon Wireless (by calling the phone number on your bill or on their website) and complain to them about this scam.  Don't call the number given in the text messages.

This is a scam, people.  Verizon Wireless won't ever call to demand your cc number.  Ignore the calls, if possible.  They're also texting people with the message that you should call them right away.  What an aggressive bunch of scammers.

These people continue and continue and continue to call non stop.  OMG, what a nightmare. They call in the a.m., p.m., 7 days a week, 4,5,6, times a day.  They do not leave a message so I do not know the company.

Why don't they just leave a damn message? Or *gasp* put "Verizon" on the caller ID so we at least know who they are? People who are past due on one bill... Are often past due on others and might not want to answer the call from a random bill collector.

please stop calling too much... thanks.. you got my phone number  347-986-7561... no more calls.

THIS IS VERIZON WIRELESS

Its Verizon wireless

Call no message

Same here as Jules...no message, I do not pick up if I do NOT know who is calling.
If I do happen to figure out who or what is calling I will re-post a comment.

has called me several times this week; I don't answer because I don't recognize the number. They don't leave a message.

Verizon collecting for past due.

didnt have one

This appears to be a billing collection agency scam based on Verizon. They want your credit card to pay a "past due amount".  I was not past due but they insist on the phone that I need to give them my card # asap.  I said I would check and Pay via my banks bill pay then hung up on the lady.

I DONT KNOW WHY THIS NUMBER KEEPS CALLING HELP
