Talked to Verizon - they say they don't call from any number like that. Hang up and call Verizon directly if you get this call.
I'm not the principle account holder on a family plan and they were calling me...someone has a swatch of Verizon account information and they'll farming it for people who are willing to give their credit card in order to "prevent their account from being disconnected". While they have names and numbers, they do not have accurate billing information.
Never give payment information to someone that calls you. Call them, at a number that you know to be reliable.
This is my follow - up . . . MYSTERY SOLVED. What do we all have in common? VERIZON is looking for us for a (alleged) late payment. I called the number back and a recording advised that I was overdue on a Verizon Payment. I called Verizon and I am not overdue but the accounting office wrongly thought I was. So if you get this call 1. You are probably a present or past Verizon customer and 2. They think you are late with a monthly paymnet. A phone call to #768 from your Verizon phone with remedy this. Remember they keep normal business hours and you have to listen to all of the prompts (1-6) before you can press -0- and then keep pressing it, like 3 times total. You will then get sent to a human and you can straighten out your situation with them.
