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.
That would be fine, except my bill is not past due-I made arrangements and paid them, as I always do if I can't pay on time. however, I did just sign a paper stating I am porting my Verizon number to Comcast because V's customer service is complete horse [***]. They "installed" my new service to the person living across the street and expected me to pay for it to be a "new installation" when they finally figured out they got the wrong address. I complained then had to wait another two weeks to get my phone/internet turned on at the right address. They tried to bill me twice-once for the service to the wrong address. NOT MY PROBLEM Not Paying it.
Since then, I have to call them every month because they refuse to credit my bill for services they added that i did not authorize-over $100 worth. So, yes, i am switching to Comcast. If it is Verizon, they are probably mad because I am taking their number to another provider. Screw Verizon, they are not getting any more money from me-don't care what it does to my credit.
This a legitimate collection call from Verizon Wireless. I recieve calls from this number when I am past due a month or more. I have made multiple payments with my credit card to this service and my information has not been stolen. It's actually a pretty quick process (about 60 seconds) if you have payment ready. They automatically bring up your file if you miss the call and call them back.
