Got a call today from this number, and the message claimed to  be VERIZON.  They gave me a number to call them back 877-403-0835   so I did, and it was a recording to put in my cell number as the REFERENCE...sounded bogus, so I called VERIZON and they checked and it WAS bull.  These people will try anything to get your information.

Same as the person above. They called and left a message saying they were Verizon. I called Verizon back (rather than the number the message left) and Verizon said do NOT return the bogus number's call.
