Just got a call saying my bills are not being delivered and what's my address.
Sure thing, lady, let me give you my DL no. too. Watch out for this one. |

Phone books are full of millions of names and addresses. Wonder what the scam could be? Hope your phone doesn't quit working.

The scam could be to steal a referal and get extra commision, I wouldn't doubt it was a verizon salesperson.....or possibly someone trying to get your info so they could "add" a line without your knowledge...

Well, I asked how do I know you work for Verizon. She tells me to contact Verizon. I ask her to transfer the call. She says she can't so I tell her, "You don't work for Verizon then," and hung up.
I figure the information request just leads into "more verification" and that would be the scam. |

milt, do you have verizion? that would be a risky call. not sure of what the scam is. i would just call verizon back to verify.
its not like the dozens of "fishing" scams we get on our email saying there is a problem with your account at so and so bank. my wife fell for that one. i think that is how her ebay account got stolen.
