Door-to-door Verizon rep promised free trial then sent a bill
About a month ago some guy named Rasmussen came to my door. Said he was from Verizon, in Sweden or Switzerland, I don't remember. He asked if he could hook up Fios Internet to our house. Said we'd get a 2 month free trial and a $100 gift card.
We are with Spectrum right now but our deal runs out June 2027 so I thought it would be a good backup. So he installed it and activated it. Three days later I get a bill from Verizon for $75 for June. I finally got someone on the phone and they told me no such deal exists.
So basically Verizon themselves are running some kind of phishing scam. Pretty sure that breaks some New York State law about anti-phishing.

Called saying they were Verizon and ordered 4 phones I never asked for
They called saying they were Verizon and had all my info, my social, birthday, address, full name. They ordered 4 iPhone 17 phones on my Verizon app and even paid my phone bill on 8/02/2026. Then they took the payment back on 8/08/2026.
I have 4 phones I did not order. I tried sending them back but they lied and sent emails saying I’m not responsible. But I still have a high bill for something I did not order. I was scammed. I have many police reports. I spoke to a guy who said he worked for Verizon but his number comes up as a different country.

Email and phone call about a declined payment that felt off
I got an email on June 9, 2026 from [email protected] saying a payment on my account was declined. It wanted me to click a link to fix it. Then right after that I got a phone call from people saying they were from Verizon.
They were pushing me to click the link in the email while I was on the phone with them. I asked if I could have someone else on the line to verify what was going on and they said three-way calling is prohibited. That didn't sound right. I didn't click anything or give them any info. I just hung up.

Got a text about unpaid tickets and my license being taken
I got a text message. It said under the Tennessee department of safety code TCA 55-12114 I had unpaid tickets and they were taking my license. The text came from the phone number 1(615) 519-7667. It said it was from Verizon with an address in Belle Valley, Ohio. I didn't sign up for anything from them. It felt like a phishing attempt to get my information. I didn't lose any money but the message was unwanted and concerning.

Got a call saying I won a free safety button system
I tried to phone Verizon. Someone told me I'd won a safety button system for free. Then I got shuffled around to different people. They took lots of my information. It all felt off. I never got the system and nothing made sense after that.
