800-888-9618

I and a friend of mine both received 2 calls within twenty minutes of each other.  two days ago there was a similar number and it was a Verizon scam.  I believe this one is the same scam just different number.  The other numbers are 800-888-9617 and 800-888-9611.

Just had a call from 800-888-9617 the other day with the same crap. I've got both numbers blocked on my Verizon account management page.
Recorded message about $ I've won. B.S.

Same deal. Guess I got "lucky," since I have had calls from -9618 and -9617.

I've now received a string of calls from "unknown" or "TX, USA" numbers, over the past few days (started on Tuesday 10/22/2013, 2-3 calls per day since).

800-888-9617
832-779-8278
800-888-9618

I haven't answered any of the calls, nor have they left messages... just annoying as they come in around 2:00-3:30pm each day while I'm at work.

You think that's bad I got calls from 800-888-9617 yesterday at 1:54 p.m. and 2:14 p.m. and then today I got calls from 800-888-9718 at 2:29 p.m. and 2:49 p.m. The problem is I work midnight to 8 a.m. and was asleep both times. Talk about irritating!

Stop calling me!

I just got the same call from 800-888-9618 directing me to go to vzw143.com and that I have some $175 credit or prize. I'm not THAT stupid. It's got to be a scam. It looks exactly like the real VZW home page, but I'm guessing the account login is to steal your info.

Thank you everyone for posting on this site.  I have been receiving 2 calls, 20 minutes apart from 1-800-888-9618 and 1-800-888-9619 2-3 times a week for the past 2 weeks.  I have not picked up and they have not left voicemails.  It is extremely annoying and I know now that I should block them.

>>> STOP CALLING ME! <<<

This message board cannot help you.  

This message board exists only for you to tell other people, who in the same position as you are in, of your experiences.  Your caller doesn't read this bulletin board and won't obey your commands, even if he or she could figure out who you are from your anonymous message.  Nor does your comment here go to any phone company or any official agency.  You will have to send a complaint directly to them.  We cannot do that for you.

Same call.  Twice in a few days.

800-888-9618

"You've won ... verizon... "  whatever.

Scam.  I hung up and will block the number.

If 10,000 people call their 800 number, they'd have quite a bill to pay.  Assuming they're not crooks and scamming their own telco.

I think she was just venting.

same as a posting below....telling me to log on to some Verizon site and get a $200 discount.  Sure right, I don't even have Verizon as my carrier.

Just got this call also thistime stating they are ATT and directing me to a budget hosting site. Obvious phishing attempt

Got two calls from this number within half an hour. I called back and got a cannot be completed as dialed message! Watch out for this number!!!

I just received a call from the 800-888-9618 indicating that I owed them $603.00...I've never been with Verizon, the voice recording spoke so fast I really only heard something about that amount and billing me through my account or something???  Ugh

Got their call on my cell # that only 1 family member has.  So they are just rolling the numbers to make a contact.  Yes, 2 calls came in about 10 min. apart - how desperate all these nuts are.  As if bugging you incessantly will make you be their customers.

Just got 2 calls from this number.  A recorded creepy male voice that tells me that I've just won $603 that will be deducted from my Verizon account.  All I have to do is access a website that sounds almost like a Verizon wireless site but will probably flood my computer with trojan horses or some other cyber threat.  How do you stop these calls?

I got two calls within just a few minutes from 800-888-9618.  I didn't really get the message but it was something about a redemption of $600+ I think they said from Verizon.

got a call from this number today (1/24) and did not pick up, number did not leave a voicemail. have not received a call since, but will look out in the future thanks to all the other commenters!

I got a call today as well. Just now that prompted this search. Thanks for the info everyone.
