Said they were from Verizon, his name was Alex, asked three questions about the service. Then he started asking questions, like my name and last 4 of the social number. I did not give him any info and suggest you do not either, if you call the number back it comes up as a magic jack subscriber.
Guy claimed he was a Verizon wireless representative who was doing a customer satisfaction survey & he said I would get a credit on my bill for participating. He asked a couple typical survey questions & then asked for my name; he did not ask for any other identifiable information. Latter on my cellphone didn't work. I tried logging on to my Verizon account online & it wouldn't let me log in & told me to call Verizon. I called & my number had gotten transferred to another phone earlier & had ran up some international charges. Verizon reactivated my phone & changed my passwords & took the charges off my account. I reported this to the Do Not Call Registry & told them what happened but I'd like it reported to more places.
I got a call (didn't answer) from this no but they did not leave a message. Interesting thing that may or may not relate is that my debit card just got swiped.
After saying he was verizon and would credit my account for 100 if I took a customer survey, he asked for some info to make sure i was the owner of the account -- name, zip code, and last four digits of ssn. it is a scam. they got two phones on my account plus other stuff. took several hours working with verizon customer support the next day (8-19-12) to straighten things out. i should know to never give any info to anyone who should already know!
