Expert Opinion

If you see a call from 800‑922‑0204 claiming to be Verizon or offering "tech support," treat it with suspicion. Scammers love to spoof a well‑known carrier name to grab your trust, then ask for personal info or payment. Let the call go to voicemail first, and never share passwords, Social Security numbers, or credit‑card details. Verify any Verizon outreach by calling the official customer‑service number you find on your bill or the company’s website. If the caller pressure‑tests you or asks for money to fix a non‑existent problem, hang up and block the number. Staying cautious keeps you out of a scam.
