Recently in our area everyone who was Alltel was switched over to Verizon. Has been a pretty easy conversion. Yesterday at lunch with my wife I get a call from Verizon wanting to conclude the switch over by authenticating my phones. He asked a few normal screening questions like the last 4 of my social and billing zip code and then to verify ownership he was to text me a code (while I was on the phone). He asked what the numbers were, said I was verified and thanked me for my business. After I hung up I got that sinking feeling like something just wasn't right. I dialed the number on my cell and it was Verizon. Luckily the restaurant we were at was near our Verizon Store so I stopped in. Turns out it was a newly devised scam. The man somehow had access to Verizon and when he sent me the text code in reality had Verizon reset my password and text it to me which I of course read to him. The folks at Verizon were great. They called their fraud division right from the store where we reset my password again and reset my billing password as well. Just thought i would share that if your phone carrier calls you to read back a text they sent you DON'T DO IT!. Best of luck in all you do and thanks for reading.
