Scammer posing as Verizon fraud department hijacked our phone lines
Lisa asked if I had ordered an iPhone to be delivered to California to a Natalie Bert. Also, did I authorize to have my network changed. I hadn't done either of those things. She claimed to be with Verizon fraud and said she could remedy the situations. She proceeded to send me 2 authorization codes that I was to read back to her. I did. She gave me advice on how not to get scammed!! Ironic! She gave my zip code and asked me to verify the rest of my address, which I did. She did not ask for credit card or social security information. After the call, we went to Verizon immediately and they said it appeared to be a scam. Unfortunately, several hours later, my husband and my phones were inoperable as our network had been changed. Verizon resolved the situation but I am afraid we are still vulnerable. Today I received an unsolicited credit card in the mail with an 888-533-5576 customer service phone number and the web site Bilt.com. I am not going to activate this as I fear this too is a phishing expedition!

Getting repeated scam calls about a loan I never applied for
This company, Verizon, has repeatedly called me 6-8 times per week. They tell me that i need to finalize my $65,000 loan. I have never applied to a loan. They want me to contact them at 866-959-0957. I have blocked numberous numbers from this company and reported them as a scam to verizon.

Total money lost:$99.94
Type of a scam:Tech Support
I recieved a text message stating that because I was a Loyality customer to Verizon they had paid my bill and If I paid shipping of 7.95 I would receive a genz watch. Now I called to verify if this was true and she said yes. So the watch was delivered and it was a horrible product and I received my credit card statement and it showed a purchase of 99.94 with this number 8556771739, so I called them and told them I wasn't to be charged for this watch and she said that it was only a trial and I have to pay for it, I told her that is not what I was told and that she scammed me at that point she hung up on me. I then contacted Verizon and they had no record of this and I surely got scammed. Also contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. They mentioned they were a 3rd party in flordia for Verizon.
I do not have the text message because I have been with Verizon for 30 years, When I received the watch I figured the deal was complete.

Picked up because ID said Verizon. They said they had a lot of great deals for me for just $1, including a $100 gift card or a blanket. They asked for my debit card#. I didn't give it to them.

Recorded call said my Verizon account was suspended. I chose the "talk to a representative" option to tell them off. Instead of a person, I got another recording saying "For security reasons, please enter your identification PIN." That's when I hung up.

Iphone X. Convince some one in need of making some quick money to sign several contracts with promise to pay the remaining balance and never do. Leaving the victim stuck with a 2000 bill. If any one comes about offering $100 to go and purchase on your credit a iPhone x or any phone. Report them to the authorities right away! They are scammers. I didn't realize i was being scammed until the third man involved came into best buy too wanting a 3rd phone off my credit lucky for me the computers were slow at processing causing the third man to be frustrated enough to leave it be. it's only $2000 that I can easily pay off quickly. But buyer be ware!!!

I recieved a phone call on 5/30/2018 to my cell phone. the caller id said my name and my cell phone number was calling myself. I answered and heard an automated message pretending to be my cell phone provider it asked for my passcode and said if i didnt provide it my account would be suspended. i hung up and contacted my wireless carrier. On 6/1/2018 I started recieving calls from an angry man claiming my phone number made repeated calls to him over the course of two days. I had to change my number
This number calls me numerous times a day asking for a J.Hawk. I have never heard of this person or business but they ask for account information to delete my number.
