>>> I gota call <<<

Good for you!! Your phone works.

10/18/2914, about 8:00 pm, got a call from 800-922-8991 which I did not answer.
They left a message asking me to log on to www.verizon38.com to get my $38.00.
Since I am not expecting a credit, I got suspicious.

I just got the same call from 800-922-8991  at 8:18 pm, a robot left a message  38 dot com go there and get my 38 dollar credit from verizon... I have never had any verizon account! Scam on doubt!

*no doubt

My whole family got one first me then my mother and grandmothers around 5 pm

It's a bit odd that everyone is supposed to be getting $38. More suspicious is that it is telling us to log into an obvious fake Verizon website. If it were a real Verizon web address, it would be www.verizon.com/38 or something like that.

It also appears that the Verizon phone number database has been compromised in some fashion, or at the very least a well-written computer program has determined all or many of the Verizon numbers and is calling all of them fishing for enough people to log onto that spurious website for who knows what end.

Thanks, but no.

I believe you are speaking of the websites that have a number between Verizon & .com .  I have seen posts like that by others. I believe somebody looked up some of the URL and they didn't belong to Verizon which was far from shocking.

Phishing call advertising myverizon38.com. Phishing site is rip-off of true the myverizon.com, hosted in Santo Domingo using fraudulent domain registration. The "log in" page collects your account details which will then be used fraudulently charge your account.

If you call the number back, its an adult chat line lol.

Same here. I don't even have Verizon.

got same,  recorded message about receiving $38.00,  when returned call was a dating hotline.   reported to donotcall.gov

I got the verizon call last night right after my mom did and today I called it back and it said I won a trip to the Bahamas.. FAKE

If the email address doesn't make it obvious, I don't know what does.
