VERIZON WIRELESS SCAM ALERT! I just received a phone call from telephone number 800-922-0204 (this is a spoof Caller ID number using Verizon's actual customer service number) claiming to be Verizon Wireless and notifying me that I qualified for a $45.00 "Reward" that I could claim by logging into www.my45verizon.com. My scam antenna immediately went up. I went to that website and found that it looked remarkably like the actual Verizon site EXCEPT that the User ID/Mobile Number Field and the Password Field were on the same screen. Verizon asks for your User ID/Mobile Number and then takes you to a second screen to enter your Password. I DID NOT enter any information and instead contacted Verizon Wireless Customer Service (*611) on my cell phone to inquire if this "Reward" was legitimate. The customer service representative informed me that it was a scam and is designed to steal account information and run up a huge reverse charge phone bill. They also have a scam ad running on facebook! DO NOT LOG INTO THAT SITE IF YOU RECEIVE A CALL ASKING YOU TO DO SO.
