Verizon phone scam - got a call this morning

[Sam1]

Just a heads up, received a robo-call a few minutes ago stating that verizon was giving a $35 credit and that I just needed to go to some random site myreward35.com that was obviously a phishing site.

 

asked for login info, and last four of the social.

 

Not sure what they are able to do with this information though, unless they can transfer credit or purchase things that they are selling and put them on the verizon bill.

Both my wife and I got the same call this morning. So do they have Verizon's phone number list or is it just chance that they will hit a Verizon customer based on the large number of customers they have?

Got the same call yesterday.  I don't need a $35 gift card... so I never visited the site.

All I have got today is the FU NSA calls.

My wife and I both received the calls on our separate Verizon numbers...  We didn't answer (never answer incoming calls from 800 #'s) and I didnt get voicemail, she got VM with $35 gift card message.  Needless to say we ignored it.

There are many threads about this at the verizon support forum. This one is very recent:

Yep. Got a texxt beep this morning. Didn't answer it of course.
 
Actually, I can't. My old flip phone is not enabled to sent text. But Verizon sure doesn't a beat. I can receive them.


EDIT tonight: I must be special. I got another this evening. Edited December 28, 2013 by hipower
