[quote=Anonymous]I got a call on my cell, the number was "ring_" followed by ten digits, so I thought somehow my Ring camera was calling me. The automated call said it was Verizon looking to confirm an iPhone purchase. I hit the response to say that I didn't order a phone. I got connected to a rep who said that he had entered a fraud ticket and needed me to change my password. Verizon then texted me the link to change my password and he gave me the code to enter. I did change my password, but not to the value he gave me. He then asked me to try again and I said that I refused to change my password to whatever he was giving me. He then hung up. I called the Verizon fraud line and they had no record of me buying a phone today.

My question is how did he send me text messages from the Verizon phone number? (I should have asked Verizon.) The only reason that I thought that it might be legit is because I was getting texts from Verizon while he was talking to me, the same Verizon account that has been texting me for the last five years.[/quote]
