This HAS to be a scam. I do NOT have Verizon, and got a call from that number. Newark. Did not answer. They no message. It is so simple folks. If you don't know the number ... DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. If it's legit, or someone you really know .. they will leave a message.
SIX calls in the last 4 days, unknown caller ID and leaves no message. I have had this private cell # for 10 yrs and have no debts. I have been on the do not call registry for years and re-register every 2 years. I have never had a Verizon account, ever. I get credit calls for someone named Wanda Camacho (and her husband Arturo) whom I do not know and have never met. Been getting them for years and she never had my number before me (I worked for my cell provider for 4 yrs and researched the numbers history) now Im also getting credit calls for someone named Nicky Lancey (apparently a female) who I also do not know! Love to find these idiots tho and give them a piece of my mind for giving out MY number to their creditors!
The number they are calling is the VOIP number from my cable company that came free with the channel package I subscribe to. Only 8 calls in the last month, but there is no phone attached to the cable modem so there is no phone to ring and voicemail is not setup, so they cannot leave a message. The best part is that the first several calls came in before I even knew what my phone number was (so I could not have given it to anyone). Either they are dialing random numbers or someone gave them my number (or made up a number) to avoid being called.
For the past two weeks, I've received these types of calls from the following numbers: 973-718-4774, 973-679-7749, 973-679-7142, 201-918-4754, 201-918-4761, 551-226-5395 and 551-226-5403. Very annoying to say the least! I don't ever answer any calls that I don't recognize.
