AL16 May 2007I received a call from this number and I did not pick up. They left a message asking me to call back at 1800-277-4542 regarding my Verizon account. I then received a text message saying I should call 1800-267-4016 regarding my account. I called Verizon at 1800-922-0204 and asked them if the numbers were legit. Verizon said that those numbers to do not belong to Verizon and do not know who is sending the messages. They said that there was no reason why they would need to call me regarding my account since it was fine and to disregard the calls.- Are your coffers lined by Verizon? Obviously, if so many recipients have received the same ANNOYING phone call, we can't all be deadbeats. Perhaps you should look into opening your own collections agency as you have the perfect temperment.
For the rest of you who have a brain and a life (as opposed to 'not annoyed' who needs both), I too received a call from this number, and am not in debt to Verizon (or anyone else for that matter). Therefore, I can only surmise that (a) Verizon has outsourced their collections to a shyster company because (b) they are harrassing individuals for no apparent reason.
- THE ANSWER IS !!!! This is a legitimate call from Verizon Financial Services. I received a similar call and spent considerable time with a Verizon Cust Service Rep who did a BRILLIANT JOB of sorting it out. The phone calls are computer generated -- therefore multiple calls and often hangups since they take the next call in the queue. That answers the hangups --- rightly or wrongly. The caller ID on the phone is legit and is what they use for outgoing calls. The reason they call is one of the following. You owe them. They have your phone number attached to someone who owes them. If you don't owe them, tell them to search your phone number and take your number off the account of the person who owes them. ---- They had my home phone number on someone elses account. They removed it and the calls stopped. Hope this answers everyones questions.
- This is Verizon Wireless claiming to be collecting on past due accounts, but I can not get them to stop calling my home! Each time they call, they ask for a different person. Not only do I not know the person they are asking for, but I do not have an account with Verizon Wireless. When I speak with a supervisor, they indicate our number will be removed. A couple of days will go by and I start getting calls again.
What can I do? I am willing to take action, but I do not know where to start. I have contacted the FCC, but I do not know if this will lead anywhere.- It's possible that your number got published to a list scammers use when they sign up for their own accounts with Verizon (possibly using stolen identities from third parties). Thus, when their fraudulent account is about to be disconnected, Verizon Financial Services calls your number as the fraudster's home phone number. What's worse, the Verizon supervisors will only remove it on a per-account basis (doing a search by home phone and then changing all the numbers is a tedious task easily put off to the next shift). So you may end up getting a call each for each and every fraudster owing money to Verizon until they finally go through the whole list and change the account home phone number in each.
- I do believe this is Verizon...butt..and yes.. I do mean butt.. why are they acting so shifty about it? I'm always 1 week late on my account.. ALWAYS since I've had them.. I should change the due date..HUH? You would think they would be nice enough to do it for ME!! anyways.. it's still shifty in my opinion.. if you don't pay your bill... guess what? They shut you off...~! You don't go over 30something days owing this company... they will SHUT YOU DOWN a little over 30...there is absolutely no need to disguise who they are...I will NOT pick up a number I do not know...if I knew it was verizon.. I would have picked up..No problem.. anywho.. just my 2sense.. lol
- Barry,
You obviously are working with this group of scammers, because you cut and paste this same response on multiple phone complaint boards. Interesting. You guys are doing a fairly poor job of making this look legit... I hope you guys get caught soon!
If this number calls you, let them know that you are in control and that you are not going to give them any of your account info.
- No, they are Verizon Wireless collections, which apparently doesn't talk much with plain old Verizon, since Verizon non-wireless claims not to know about the number when you ask them. They call me when I'm late with my phone bill. They aren't scammers, but they can be retarded about bothering people who don't have accounts or who aren't behind in payments.
- Hey guys. Just called Verizon Credits (1.800.922.0204) and spoke with a legit representative of Verizon. She told me the 949.286.3311 number was a legit financial service number, but if you are still concerned, call the 1800 number provided above. Once on the phone, type in 3 for technical support, then 1 for the next option. They'll tell you the same I told you. No worries, I can see why you thought this might be a scam, but you should be fine.
- All of the replies here that tell you this is legit are part of the scam. They want you to call them back because when you do,their computer picks up three things. 1. your phone number 2. your name 3. YOUR HOME ADDRESS!! Never call back any telemarketer, because the scammers are often fishing for your name and address. It happens a lot these days. DO NOT CALL THEM BACK!!

Why would Verizon want to scam you for that information. First of all if they are calling you they already have your phone number. Second! they obviously have your name because you are a verizon customer. And hello! address! where do you think the bills get sent to.
- They don't leave a message because its an automated calling system that when they get an answer it connects you to the next representative. They don't leave messages because if you arent reposible enough to pay your bill on time why would you be responsible enough to return a simple voice message.
The End
- I got a call from this number this morning. I have recently (yesterday) received a replacement phone from Verizon. I answered, and said hello, hello, but there was no response. I looked at the screen of my phone and there was this weird icon showing arrows coming and going from my phone - as if it were collecting something.
- This is a legitimate call from Verizon. Just got off the phone with them. My account was past due and told them I would be making payment soon, and was noted on the account. They didn't ask for any personal information, just to confirm my name.
If they are calling you, most likely you have a past due account with Verizon or they have your number attached to another account that is.
