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.
I receive calls from 910-338-0672 every day and called the number back today and it went straight to my Verizon message Center for collection of my overdue amount. I am one week late paying my bill and they're billing me my next month's bill already when I haven't even received the paper copy. This is absolutely ridiculous!!!! Verizon sucks!!!!
Reporting that I got a call from them ~10 minutes ago. As you said, the area code is designated to North Carolina. I don't know anyone from there, so it's definitely some spammy call that I don't give two [***] about. I didn't answer.
Please, if you're not the jack-hole who's making the calls, don't fall for it, and PLEASE don't legitimize this guy any further. He's an nuisance to society. The number obviously isn't Verizon. Some victims of this aren't even Verizon Customers. This evidence is so clear that I don't think I need to argue any further.
