Same comments as everyone else, several calls a day, I haven't answered but have tried to call back; get the "all circuits are busy" message. Very irritating
Caller said they were from Verizon Wireless and wanted to speak to me and then as soon as I said "yes, that's me," the line disconnected. I called a few times and it was busy.
I went one step further and tried to pay $20 for a reverse lookup and here's what they said:
-------------------------
Assisted Phone Search Report
State: IA, Phone Area Code: 712, Phone Number: 9450163
Cancelled - No Charge
-------------------------
My concern was that there is some kind of identity scam and the call was spoofed as Verizon Wireless and is used to correlate a name with a number for further discovery and abuse.

same as above. they called, asked if XXXX was there, i said "this is he", and then they hung up. called at 7:40pm. (on my HOME phone. not my cell, which is with verizon)
i called right back. i got an automated answer that said(paraphrasing), "thank you for your interest in verizon wireless. we are closed, our hours are 9am-9pm mon through fri. (notice i called at 7:45. 1 hour 15 mins. BEFORE there stated closing time)
SO... I called *611 on my cell (verizons support number) explained the above to the support lady. she looked up the number for me and told me that it was the number for a verizon store, and that the stores hours were the same as what the canned answer i got calling the number. and that i didnt have to worry about being scammed.
i tried calling the number just now and keep getting busy signals.
i think I'll call back and give them this URL so that they can see that they are pissing off a lot of people and that i will cancel my service with them if it continues.
I received the same call tonight and when I called back I got the same message to call back during business hours (9am - 9pm) and it was freaking 8:30. My wife said she had the same call the other day and they actually talked to her. Since they called my land line, can I still report them to the FCC or is that for wireless only?
