It is NOT Verizon Wireless, and I just proved it. I just got the call (I never answer), then immediately checked my Verizon Wireless account; my bill was paid in full 9/13/10, and I do NOT owe any overdue balances.
This is a total scam. My answering machine records part of a recorded message to press '2' or something like that, then the call disconnects. The one time Verizon Wireless did call me about my bill, they left left a full, clear message in which they identified themselves.
This is a 3rd party..not verizon. They get a percentage of your bill if you answer and then pay within a few days.
DO NOT ANSWER or CALL BACK
These losers can go get real jobs\
1) Verizon will ALWAYS say verizon on caller ID....No Exceptions
2) Verizon calls are NOT charged to your minutes...No Exception

Regardless if it's a 3rd party collecting on behalf of Verizon or Verizon themselves, it's a collection call because you are late on your payment. You signed an agreement to pay your bill on time, so do it. Stop making excuses that it's a scammer or someone else that is collecting for Verizon. So what? Just pay your bill like you originally agreed to and stop making excuses. It only makes you look bad, no Verizon.
