888-976-0259

It is Verizon, this number called and left a message advising me changes were made to my account AND  no action was necessary If I was the one that made the changes , but IF I did not make the changes I was to call back

I forgot to say --- I had made those changes several hours ago with Verizon. Mine was a valid phone call from verizon

HOW is it POSSIBLE that every email I sent is "archived" somewhere.  Every dollar I spend on a credit card, etc is tracked, but this CROOK is allowed to COMMIT FRAUD saying he's Verizon PHISHING for people's passwords???

This is a scam.  Never call this number back.

I got an IM from the same number I have received messages from Verizon previously asking me to call this number.  Message said someone changed my security questions which I definitely did not and no one else i on my account.  Based on the posts here I didn't call but am confused how a scammer could text me from same number that verizon had previously

Just got a text at the same time as previous poster.  Not calling

When I called I gave them my cell number which isnt verizon should I be worried ?he straight said my name without asking  but I didn't get it until he started to laugh. Should l change my cell number?

I got a text from this number and it said my verizon password was changed and I needed to call them it's a scam

I received a text from this number. Same as thru my bill review. Called Verizon number from Google. No changes had been made. Received a call from Verizon sales, declined to continue speaking to them. 800 256 4646

Same, just got the text. Scam. Do not call back.

I received a text from Verizon saying " Your My Verizon password and secret question(s) have been added or changed.  If your didn't request this change, Please call 1-888-976-0259.  I did call it and it takes you to an automated system, but i decided to hang up and not pursue that any further.  My husband and I are the only ones who use Verizon, but my husband does not even know how to enter the site and does not even know the password, and I certainly did not make any changes.  I looked on my account and there were no changes, but I changed the password just in case.  I believe it is a scam.  When I looked on Verizon account there were no security warning notifications.

Version advises that SCAM calls are coming from (888) 976-0259.  They are trying to get you to call them back at (888) 976-0259 to get your Pass Codes to Access Accounts With Version Agents, Emails, Passwords to Sign In To Online Accounts,  DO NOT CALL THEM BACK AT (888) 976-0259 AT ALL IT IS A SCAM.
Version advised me to call VERIZON PHONE NUMBER ON THE PHONE BILL ONLY to notify Version Fraud Division so you can notify them that you have received a phone call from them.

Agree I changed mine, they sent text with telephone number to confirm that I made the change

ditto, got a text message asking me to call.  I told them to F' off.  :-)

Got a call that Verizon Wireless password was reset, no one requested a reset of the password.  Check the account and all was fine.  This is a scam number that needs to be ignored or reported.

Thanks everyone who have reported this number.  Checked both my verizon wireless and fios accounts.  All is well and no passwords or secret questions have been changed.  So this is indeed a scam.  By the way, it was a text message from 27589 asking me to call 888-976-0259.

These scam artists just called. Said I had to log into my account. Then they wanted my secret password. And then my PIN no. too.
BEWARE

They just texted my phone saying
"Verizon Home:
enable Touch ID on your My Fios App.
If you didn't request this change, Please call
1-888-976-0259."

Glad I googled this first I was seconds from calling too.

This came in the form of a message:

Verizon Home: Your My Verizon password and secret question(s) have been added or changed. If you didn't request this change, please call  1-888-976-0259.

I did not return the call. It appears from other postings that this is a scam

I also got this as a text message.  The really amusing thing is that I dropped Verizon last October!!  hahahaha on you scammer
